Brakk Is A Nightmare To Farm

I have killed the grustrag 3 seven times now and all they keep dropping is rare mods which I already have tons of. Considering the amount of invasions one has to do just to get marked I think the RNG for it is pretty ridiculous. I hope the drop rates for the brakk get fixed soon.

This is nothing new. PC had the same rough time we're having.

 

 

As far as I'm concerned.. It's the bloody Brakk. I'm glad it's a challenge.

 

 

 

 

Also... Did you really put this in beta bugs? Seriously. RNG is not a bug... Lol

i just have bad luck when it comes to these things. I have killed the harverster about 5 times have have 4 detron blueprints and 3 detron barrels with NO receiver.  my friends and i played about 5 games back to back and i took a break to feed and change my son. i get back on the mic and my friends are like "dude we just killed the haverster and he dropped the receiver!".... yeah that happens to me all the time.

I got my Brakk after fighting them 5 times. Idk why anyone would try farming them without a competent Nekros in party. They don't like to drop without being Desecrated

^THIS. Had my Brakk in 4 runs with a Nekros in party. Why choose NOT to have a chance at even a SECOND part when you encounter them?

Most people know to have a Nekros, that's not the overall issue. Getting them to show up is the real problem. Since the patch, I've done a mix of 325 survival and invasion missions against the Grineer. Each one was with 4 marked players and I know they were marked because I always run 5 invasions with people I don't know or have never run with before. In that time I have seen the G3 four times, with a single blue print to show for it.

I'm currently at 112 runs without seeing the G3. Never have I gone this long without seeing either the Stalker or Harvester.

RNG MUST hate you cause I rarely go 10-15 games without seeing them with just 2-3 marked players.

You might think that, but it's much different with both the Stalker and Harvester. My average for the Stalker is 6 games, and 11 for the Harvester. I got Detron after 2 run ins, and had incredible luck in getting the Despair on my first encounter with the Stalker. I have only continue to log the numbers due to force of habit and then later to compare them to G3 numbers.

I'm honestly beginning to wonder if the spawn rates aren't bugged for some players.

Yes there is a problem with it for some people.As of today three of us have been doing invasions since this began and are over 500 now and all marked.We have encountered the G3 4 times.1st time they dropped natural talent,2nd time natural talent,3rd time barrel diffusion and hells chamber,4th time two split chambers.So tell me this is working properly  for everyone.Like buddy above said "fine line between a grind and what this is",this is what makes you delete the game and move onto something else.

I've done well over 300 runs since the last G3 sighting. Every run is with people I know, and people who are definitely marked. This cannot be just poor RNG. Something isn't right. They should at least be spawning for us. I'd rather see them once every 50 runs and get nothing than never see them at all.

After doing some testing with new accounts and friends who had never been marked before, the hypothesis I've come to is that marks are bugged. Basically for some players once your marked and then that mark is removed via the G3 spawning specifically due to your presence in the match, you cannot be marked again.

I was soloing Apollodorus, just leveling up my freshly forma'd Detron and my unranked Phage when the G3 came. I knew those guns aren't up for the challenge so I closed the game quickly so my mark didn't get consumed. I started another Apollodorus and they came AGAIN. 2 times in a row. When I'm in a G3 farming group we can run the same mission 20 times and they still wouldn't show up... RNG was trolling me hard.

I'm going to chime in on this as well.  Rank 13 400+ hours myself and farming for these guys are ridiculous.  Something is defiantly wrong.  I farmed for these guys ALL WEEK!  Multiple different suggested ways with different marked groups along with running same invasion missions or survival on Apollodorus.  RNG is BS on this.  Running for a week and I couldn't tell you how many 100's of missions I've ran and still to see them?  I'm sorry but if they say % chance is 3.2 or greater running with 3 other marked people they should GUARANTEE a spawn after a certain amount of missions.  There's no chance if it isn't given!  Friends of mine not playing with me seem to be able to get them to spawn without problems and have had them come out multiple times.  WTF?!

 

DE needs to run some statistics and code something better for people that have 100+'s missions for 1 certain enemy type and ask themselves WHY?!

 

They're going to start pushing away people who actually spend more than the avg. person playing this game with their grinding that doesn't have any results!

Ive had trouble with all random encounters since the update. Ive seen Stalker 0 times, Harverster 1 time, and the G3 0 times. I used to see Stalker 3 or 4 times a DAY. Even when they come for other members in the group I get UNCOMMON MOD DROPS (or nothing, depending on how hard they wanna fckmii)!!! Talk about frustrating... I didn't even think that was possible... I just passed the 300 hour mark, was ranked 32nd in kills at one point and do 40+ minute survivals, so I'm by no means a scrub... Ive been on the grind for the Brakk but Im ground out... I cant play the same missions over and over and over forever to get nothing, not even a sign of the thing I just want to see. DE isn't even throwing me a bone. Hell I'd take a harder version (lvl 40+) of them and a T4 grade key drop or something like the ODS key to go find and fight them specifically.

Yeah this farm is crazy,and I've played a ton of farm heavy Rpg's. The true problem is the farm within the farm (farm-ception), where a rare drop is tied to a rare enemy type so that you have to farm to get a spawn then pray for a drop,but the farming isn't done there, you have to be lottery winner lucky to get a drop to a part that you need.

I'm all for rare items being rare but when you start to flirt with improbable its only a matter of time before threads like this start to pop up and players start to move on,and considering how many other problems exist in the game, I can't fault the idea that something might be glitched. Maybe DE should take a look at spawn rates, maybe they should go with an at least one definite part drop formula (like harvester), but when you have guys saying that they've actively farmed for these guys since day 1 of 12.4.4 and they still have not even seen them... that's saying something.

I definitely don't want DE giving out Brakks but I think most would be okay with more spawns and tougher drops, or the same spawn rate as it is but definite drops. Nobody wants farm-ception.

The brakk part drops were broken when it first came out, technically we already have the fixed drops. Natural talent dropped more often than brakk parts when I was farming, luckily I got a different part each time I actually got a part. Grind on!

 

Yes it was broken at first. You could get the 3 parts in one drop.

This! Those very few lucky guys that got one very soon are the exceptions.
