What's the deal with Fieldron's popularity?

[MrMalzel]

I probably missed why people want them so much but every single damn invasion I've seen for a while now have had people going hard for Fieldron. Personally I'm still trying to get more Detonite Injectors but without building them from the dojo blueprints I scarcely see opportunities in invasions for an equal/fair amount of Detonite Injectors. So seriously, what's making Fieldron so insanely popular?

I dont think its about Fieldron, I think people are just trying to get the Razorback Armada built for Corpus. Why that is so sought after is a another question.

EDITED: Yup, people are probably trying to get the Razorback Armada up and going.

I guess Law of Retribution raid provides too many Detonite Injectors with rare containers.

I think it's because the Formorian stuff is old news while Razorback thingie is less so.

Pretty much this exact reason to be honest. I have like 100+ detonite just sitting there thanks to getting the rare crates. You can't get fieldron easily from corpus since there's no corpus raids.

I did some quick research on the wiki about Razorback and some of the comments mentions X# of Puncture mods per X# of runs. Does it drop them by chance? If so that's probably what everyone is scrambling to back the Corpus for. I could be 500% wrong. I could also be 50% right. \_(T_T )_/

Law of Retribution (Nightmare mode included) spawns up to 5 rare/reinforced crates per run, meaning up to 5 Detonite Injectors (1 guaranteed per crate opened) per run. Because of how frequent rare crates are in LoR, players who regularly run the raids have stockpiles of Detonite Injectors so they will always opt for Fieldron over Detonite Injectors during invasions. 

If you want Detonite Injectors, I recommend that you learn how to do the Law of Retribution.

fomorian = archwing so people are pushing towards razhorwing armada to see what it is, I think there was one in the past but missed it, I did the fomorian event that rewarded imperator vandal parts, still missing the receiver.

the RNG drop chance for the puncture mods is an abomination

A few other factors on top of the Razorback (Which is indeed much rarer than Fomorians, having only appeared once or twice vs. the couple dozen fomorians the game has seen over its lifespan):

- Most players seem to think Corpus weapons are cooler than Grineer weapons.
- Everyone I've ever spoken to about it is of the opinion that the Corpus are far less evil than the Grineer, so if you pick your invasion faction based on fluff as many do...
- Nowadays, with invasions mainly in high level areas, its much easier to fight Grineer with Corpus support than vice versa. MOA in mobility mode can nearly keep up with you, allied nullifiers have excellent utility, etc.

I hope that the Razorback Armada has some kind of meta-aspect comparable to the Fomorian's Relay destruction countdown. I'm not really sure what it could be though.

I go for supporting corpus for a few reasons. I do LoR regularly, I prefer the corpus as a faction, I'm a bit tired of the Grineer focus, I want to see the razorback Armada and Grineer are easier to fight.
