Attn: Material Farming

So, most people are now aware the bosses are broken for materials. Whilst naturally this sucks, and makes bosses feel like a waste of time - especially if you're trying to farm Morphics or Neurodes or other rare components.

 

Solution? Well, this is only anecdotal, but I ran 8 missions on Earth this morning and got no Neurodes. Ran one nightmare mission on Earth and got 2.

 

Want rare materials now? Go farm nightmare.

 

(You're still screwed for blueprints, but oh well!)

Bosses now can drop more than 1 of rare resources at once, if they drop it. I often get 2. Once even got 3 control modules at once from Hyena.

You didn't get a rare drop in 8 runs, that's totally possible and by no means broken. If you didn't get something in 30 runs, I'd have said that's broken.

A statistically safer number would be 100 runs. Though I don't think that would be much fun.

Bosses aren't dropping ANY materials since the most recent patch.

Uhm okay, didn't farm any boss since the update so I didn't notice.
