For the first time since U18.5 hit consoles, I went back into Heiracon to farm fusion cores. I understand that the mechanic has changed where you now do more running around from one Extractor to the next. What I wasn't prepared for was that the drop chance of R5's seems to have been, considerably, nerf'd. I did 2 separate runs to 1000 cryotic and between the 2 runs, I netted 10 fusion cores. In the past, I could've gotten that in under 900 Cryotic in 1 run. I understand that RNG plays a factor in what Excavators award which is why I ran it twice - maybe that was the issue and I need to run it again tonight to make sure, but in the meantime, I was wondering if anyone has found another spot/node where R5's drop has a better chance of dropping?
I consider myself more of an endurance runner and enjoy staying in missions for as long as I can. I don't like the idea of staying 5 minutes for an award, extracting and repeating. But if that's what it's come to - I'll suck it up.
