Do drops depend on your equipment?

[Paemon]

So I decided to try my Tonkor after a long time. I jumped in Hieracon and in the end I got 2 grenade unique mods (Acc. Blast, Firestorm). I'm sure this isn't a coincidence because I run Hieracon a lot and this happened for the first time. This made me wonder if the drop table is affected by your equipment/damage type/mod setup?

No, it's just RNG. I got Acc. Blast yesterday for the first time while doing a random invasion mission, so yeah.

I'd say it's RNG too IF there was only 1 grenade unique mod. 2 unique mods+both grenade+when I equiped the Tonkor for the first time? Isn't it a bit suspicious?

ive got so many of those mods, they really arent "rare" on hieracon

I'm not talking about their rarity and rng. I'm talking about the drop table's relation with your equipment.

It was like, "Hey, you got your Tonkor? Here, take these 2 unique mods MADE FOR TONKOR and enjoy!"

It's RNG. It would be suspicious if it happened regularly, and by "suspicious" I mean "an already documented feature".

I had the same feeling when I was just starting out; got a lot of Shotgun mods when I equipped my first shotgun and such.

In the end I chalked it up to confirmation bias.

Yup, I've had similar experiences when starting out. It is coincidence though

I am actually inclined to believe if anything the likelihood of the total opposite happening - Hey you have a Tonkor/Penta...let's remove these mods from the table this match. Honestly you pleased the RNG gods and have been rewarded, now send them my way please.
