ast00 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Today, I was playing some invasion for 35k credits on the Corpus side and finally the screen flickers. Grustrags come, I Boar Prime their asses, use Nekros Desecrate 4 times, so all of them are giving rewards twice. Results: 3 Neurodes, 2 Hells Chambers. Here is the problem: It is RANDOM. EDIT: Part 2 incoming! Another encounter with 4 people with marks! I was the Nekros AGAIN, desecrated their asses, results: Split Chamber, Split Chamber, Natural Talent, Natural Talent, Hells Chamber. Where are my Brakk parts???

Mastikator2 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I got a Brakk part just today before going to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyunsai Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) RNG in its finest. I got all Brakk parts in less than 7 encounters with G3 (that was after they fixed the drop rate), and I still don't have the Detron.

ast00 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Welcome to warframe. I'm almost a veteran (I joined in U8.5). So I'm quite aware of the farming situation. The reason of this thread is to remind the devs (who are hopefully browsing the forums like crazy), that this is a terrible idea and it has to be changed. If we stop making threads like this, it will be forgotten forever and we will never get a more reliable method of getting rare stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metsudo Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 As far as I know, the spawn rate is higher if all 4 players in the cell have a mark. Players don't get a mark until they finish the invasion, at which point most quit the lobby. Your best bet is to find 3 others who are wanting Brakk parts and arrange to farm it together. For the record I haven't had to farm for it (got it in Gradivus) but I'm 1 receiver away from being able to build 2 more, so they are spawning (I do play with friends who don't have it and have been helping them). It is random, but they do spawn, so keep trying is all I can say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark5eiD Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Im sure its just a coincidence, but i have encountered them 3 times 2 of which i was solo. the 2 i was solo for i got the brakk reciever. the one time i was with others i got nothing. try to solo a bunch of times see if it makes a dif. i too already have it from the gradivus. trust me when i say keep trying ... it is a must have.

direcyphre Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 There will always be a chance they drop nothing, and desecrate won't help you. Doesn't take long to get another deathmark, and having them spawn is more related to not having all your best stuff equipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ast00 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Some of you miss the point. The problem isn't that it's hard to get, the problem is that it's random and it's only easy for some players. For 60% of my invasions, I was playing in a group of 4 and all with deathmarks, yet it took me this long to find these derps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark5eiD Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 it took me a really long time to get the detron ( only to be disappointed ) as im sure it did for others. this is the game, g3 and harvesters are supposed to be random from what i understand. you cant make them come out and i dont believe the devs are ever going to change that. just keep trying.. or take a break from it. sounds like your raging a bit hard...

DocHolliday13 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yeah, I hate the randomness of it too. I got all the parts for the Detron in just three encounters without trying, because I really didn't want it that much. Still haven't built it. But I can't even manage to kill the G3 on the rare occasion they show up, because it's always when I'm leveling up stuff and not prepared. Well, that's not quite true. The first time we had them, but they bugged out and the third one disappeared, and then the mission just failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time we had them, but they bugged out and the third one disappeared, and then the mission just failed. this has been pointed out before as a strategy. what you could do is use all new weapons and even sentinel except primary weapon. seems to work better. this was also the case for me. i had helios, detron, and fang all less than level 7 when i got them the last time. at the end of the day like i previously stated this is meant to be random. but keep trying dif approaches and good luck to you.

mpastor Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I literally encounter these guys all of the time. I have collected maybe a half dozen Brakk BP's, but most of the time they drop nothing useful. This doesn't bother me a lick. I cant imagine ever needing anything other than my Dex. I run and gun baby. Don't think I could do this near as effectively with a Brakk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolake Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Seems like whoever didn't get Brakk in the first week got screwed. It was a part every time and I got all in 2 days playing entire day (wouldv gotten it faster if G3 didnt crash the game 3 times). Then after the next patch I'v seen no parts in 5 encounters .

LGear Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 At least you get 3 chances to get a Brakk part every time the G3 appears (Already have 2 BP's and a Reciever since they were added). Stalker on the other hand is just as rare, and yet he may not even drop anything useful, and when he drops BP's he drops Dread more than not.

(PSN)stray_dog_strut Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 i got my brakk in two encounters with the G3. a blueprint and a barrel on the first encounter, and a blueprint and a receiver on the second. like everything else in this game, it all comes down to rng.

Lickity-Split Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Strangely after my post yesterday G3 spawned on my group and dropped Brakk things... Wish I could trade them too you dude I don't even want the damn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodKitten Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 selution, give brakk to the shield guy, have him drop a random part, and G3 are not desecrateable. would solve the parts obtaining issues and prevent exploiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want my Hate ;-; I got all 3 Detron parts in two harvester encounters and two brakk parts in the first G3 ecounter, died to them on the second (they spawned on nightmare with the 3x damage challenge >_<) and didn't drop any parts on the third encounter. I've killed the stalker 12 times and he didn't drop a single BP yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I killed Harvester twice, 2 recievers and 2 BPs, I killed Stalker more than 100 times, no Despair BP yet, I have the other 2, I killed G3 now 3 times with a group of 4 and each time I used Nekros to get as much stuff as I can get and not a single part or BP. At least I have Natural Talent now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)atpbx Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I couldn't tell you what the Brakk drops are like as: One encounter on the PC rewarded me with a Brakk blueprint and a Brakk barrel. And they simply refuse to show up on the PS4 as does the harvester who was there every five minutes after update 12, and has now not been seen in nearly a month.
