Argon Crystal Drops In Void?

[Glasglow]

Did they remove or severely reduce drop rates for Argon Crystals in Void missions? I did like 5-6 missions T1D and T2MD and had zero crystals, also killed phorid like 5 times and had no drop.

I used to get 2~4 argon crystals EVERY T1Def but now i haven't seen any at all, what happened to them?

Phorid doesn't drop argon crystals anymore.  And they're a rare resource for a reason.

 

If you're having that hard of a time looking for them, try the extermination or capture missions and look for the treasure rooms or, in the case of Capture, the parkour rooms.  I've seen rare resources drop from containers more often than not.

RNG. They do drop, and as usual, randomly. I have like 20 atm, a lot of T4 DEF for Nyx and T1 SURV for Scindo.

I believe they removed the Argon from Phorid last I read up on it, but I have not had issues collecting Argon in the void. Try running some other missions in their

RNG?  
 

Not sure but I went looking for 1 for a new dog & it took me 4 or 5 missions to get 1 crystal.  I think you get more if you do a long survival or defense.  

 

I even took a loot kubrow in to find one and nothing... popped nearly every locker in the place and dug up half the floor.

I ran T1D with a nekros and got 4 over 2 runs to wave...30, I think? It took a while but the enemies are weak so its easier. And I think you can also get hikou parts from there.

Did many T1s and T2s last Monday and got 0 crystals. Only the T3s we did gave us barely a few.

As opposed to past experience: roughly 50% chance of crystal drops in T1 a few weeks ago.

Exactly my experience, we ran T1 few weeks ago and got TONS, like literally it was raining argon crystals, but now i can't seen to find even a few.

If they didn't decay, I'd be fine with the drop rates but as of now I think they are too rare. 

 

I forget the exact numbers but I did two T1 survivals and had over 1000 kills and countless lockers/containers opened and not 1 Argon.

 

 

 

But then, the last locker to open on a T1 Capture (unlocked by my Kubrow) and I got an Argon. RNG!!!!

Do T1 Survival or T4 Def

Got 2 in a 30 minute T1 Survival last night.  They do drop.

Three days ago I got 2 from a T1 Exterminate I was doing to level a newly formaed weapon. So, they do drop, it just isn't particularly often, and a higher Tower level will probably have a higher drop rate, maybe.

Glad to see I wasnt the only one wondering where the crystals had gone.. I had 15 a few days ago that I had no use for now I need 3 and can't find any...
