Mantis Part Collection?

[Stivelse]

Sup All,

How many of you have got the mantis without buying it? Honestly, I think it's the most ridiculous thing in Warframe. I don't even know what grineer and orokin reinforced containers look like.

So, I thought maybe instead of dropping from a type of container that hardly ever spawns, it could be a rare drop from uncommon containers.

Post what you think about this.

Haven't gotten a chance to get it, still waiting for that three day timer in the dojo

They only drop from Reinforced containers I think, not from rares.

 

Reinforced Grineer containers are orange and Reinforced Orokin containers have a "crown" thing above them. Both make the sound of Caches and have an orange energy texture over them.

Reinforced corpus containers dont want to show up at all.

Got the BP a couple times from containers .. straight after buying it on the market.

Would have loved it if DE converted any extra mantis BP's to parts when they removed it from the drop list and acknowledged their booboo ..

I've got the Orokin part, but the Grineer part just refuses to drop no matter how many raids I do. I think I've opened 5 rare crates now?

I built mine, It took a week of searching.

I found the engines on the day it came out while farming for Atlas, so I originally thought you got the parts from farming the J3 Golem. I didn't notice what came out of the Reinforced Corpus container I found during that mission, so I was pretty pissed when I learned the real RNG behind getting the parts.

 

Anyway, about a week later, I found a Rare Orokin container, broke it open, and got a Mantis Blueprint. A few days after that, I kind of feel lucky for getting it since it was removed from the drops and all parts were removed from the rare containers.

 

Fast forward to today, and I finally got the Avionics from a Reinforced Orokin container. Now I just need the fuselage, but in my two years of playing, I've never seen a Reinforced Grineer container, so I'm not looking forward to however long that'll take. I know they have a decent spawn rate in the raid, but I hate raids, and I don't want to deal with people who think a high MR means you are the best player ever and only want players that have done it multiple times.

not even found a single container yet, ball ache on my life so far.

I haven't seen a single Corpus or Orokin rare container since the mantis' release. I've got enormous piles of whatever comes out of the Grineer containers, but the Corpus and Orokin ones are a myth.

I've gotten the Corpus and Grineer parts. I haven't even seen a reinforced Orokin container.
