A Use For Spare Parts?

[Frostosti]

so most people find the mod spare parts completely useless, that is why i found it interesting and tried to find a way to use it properly.

so i was thinking, if you do quick 2 minute boss runs for resources, and you equip max spare parts and no shield or health mods. Then thats another 45% chance for a rare resource to drop, while it does not cost you any extra time.

And also can this rare resource by any resource? or can it only be the rare resource dropping on the planet you are playing?

And the description says if it drops something, it drops a rare resource. Which resources are rare? The third and fourth from the planet listing?

 

also; yay this was topic no 30001 in the players helping players secton.

Spare Parts only works on the second "death". When your Sentinel uses Regen, it doesn't drop any resources.

Apart from that: Sounds like a plan ...

no idea what actually drops. used it on my sentinel at max with no regen and most of the time all i get as drops are ammo.... TT_TT

[Frostosti]

only thing i could find on the wiki about it is that a sentinel can only drop 1 resource per mission, even if you use a revive as a player or regen mod for the sentinel

And secondly, if you use self destruct it will never drop a resource.

But it seems like that is all we know, there is no drop table or such.

I've only gotten neurodes after a sentinel dies

That's only if you have Regen on. Otherwise, it works once the sentinel is actually dead.
