Stalker loot glitch maybe

[(XBOX)Lone Wolf045311]

I don't know if the stalker is glitched for me my account or if others have the same problem but I can't get anything but dreads out of the stalker I know it is rng but 50 dreads in a row somethings off increasing the drop chance of the other things on his drop list could fix my issue but I'd like more knolege befor jumping to that

A friend said he got a Broken War the other day.

I think our luck is just crappy.

It's not a glitch, it's just how rng is with him.

The published loot table lists dread as a 75.88% drop chance, by far his most common drop.

I actually got Broken War recently (despite already owning it from Hunhow pack), but I've been playing 4 years and it's the first time I've squeezed something out of him that isn't Despair or Heavy Impact.   I too don't get Dread often, though I have gotten it a few times - Despair seems most common, regardless of what the published loot tables say.  The only reason I ever got Hate or Dread is because I purchased the "What Stalker?" bundle, back when it was a thing.  

Hopefully one day DE removes certain things from his pool totally (both Stalker and Shadow Stalker) - like Heavy Impact.  And I think when it comes to Shadow Stalker he should drop a weapon everytime, with equal chances between them.  The whole Stalker farm is overall pointless and feels stupidly outweighted by bad RNG that gives you the same trash over and over.

Well on Shadow Stalker it is signifigantly lower at 37.94% - but this is countered by the fact every other weapon he drops has garbage 2.78% chance to drop.  DE needs to relook at his drop tables - there's no logical reason for them to have such bad drop chances, especially when they don't hold up later in the game anyway.  Hate and Despair are garbage, War is meh in the face of Galatine Prime due to innate impact which is just .  Broken War may just be the only weapon in there to deserve lower drop chance because it's actually a decent slash weapon.

I just double checked, Dread is listed as 75.88% for both. Strangely enough it also lists Hunhow as dropping Dread at the same rate.

I was using the DE published one, I assume the automatically compiled one is more up to date.

Neither is wrong - you're just not doing the full math. 

Stalker

50.00%

Very Common (75.88%)

You have to divide that 75.88 in half (50%) to get the real result which is 37.94% - the true value when RNG has had its way.  I was wrong about it being lower on Shadow Stalker though, they are the same - I just didn't realize when you were saying 75.88% that you were not accounting for the 50% as well, I assumed that was the actual drop rate on normal Stalker, now I know why you thought that. 

The wiki literally uses the Data chart you just posted, but finishes the math to give a more accurate representation of drop chance.  Wiki is more reliable in that sense.

Good point, we were on different metrics, I was hung up on it when you said it was significantly lower for one than the other.

It's just your RNG. The other day the stalker spawned for someone else in a public interception mission and he dropped the despair blueprint for me. My buddy got the war blueprint yesterday from him also soo it's just RNG unfortunately.

Well seeing all the comments here does anyone think he needs his drop chance ratings changed

1900 hours in the game, killed stalker countless times as you can imagine. I finally coughed up the platinum to buy hunhow pack just to get the war. I think it's more or less intended aspect of RNG.
