A growing number of players is questioning the drop rates for armor in the Seraph Shield activity. Reports indicate players running both normal and expert modes are seeing frustration due to low armor acquisition, leading to speculation about loot mechanics.
Context Behind the Concerns
Players have been hitting the Seraph Shield run often, eager to snag elusive armor pieces. However, feedback reveals many are dissatisfied with their loot results. One user lamented, "Really just trying to get the season 19 armor, only got the cloak and boots"
Loot Mechanics Weigh Heavily on Weapons
According to community discussions:
Weapon Focused Drops: There are 10 weapons and 5 armor pieces in the loot pool, creating a likelihood that weapons dominate drop rates. Players note a 33% chance of encountering armor.
Exotic Mission Limitations: One comment highlights that older exotic missions are not designed for armor drops beyond initial availability. "They’re supposed to drop each armor piece ONCE to unlock them for transmog then it’s mostly weapons after that."
Frustration Over Bad Stats
Commenters have expressed dissatisfaction not only with low drop rates but also poor stats on acquired items. Many feel this affects the gameplay experience. As one frustrated player put it bluntly, "and all bad stat when you get them."
Key Takeaways
🔫 Weapon Bias: 10 weapons vs. 5 armor pieces slants the loot odds.
⚙️ Limited Drops: Older missions primarily unlock armor once for transmog.
📉 Poor Stats: Many players complain about the unusable stats of the drops.
"The drops seem heavily weighted it’s hard to get what you need," commented a player underscoring the shared sentiment.
What’s Next?
As players continue to articulate their frustrations, it remains to be seen if Bungie will address these concerns. Will they adjust drop rates? Only time will tell, but for now, the frustration over armor continues to resonate across forums.
