gi-gue not dropping weapons or armor?

[arisen_devil]

i've been hunting SJS for a while, killed around 700 gi-gue and they never seem to drop me any kind of weapon (e.g. calibur, raygun ,...) or armor (e.g. ultimate frame). they're only dropping PDs, shields (e.g. celestial shield) and items (e.g. mates, fluids, ...) .
is this normal?

[rena-ko]

well. its based on luck. what they can drop and what not (besides the rare) isnt really written down yet, but i guess it means nothing if its dropping no armor or weaponry.

can still drop the sjs any time now.

[Jarek]

Enemies only drop one specific item-weapon, armor, shield, or unit-along with tool items and money. I recall from my own sjs hunting days that ill gill only drop weapons and gibbles only drop units. Del lily drops armor if I remember correctly.
Completely normal.

Gi Gue drops Shields commonly.

If you kill Gibbles, you'll notice it drops Units often. It's all set out, like psobsesser said ;o

[WrathOfMegid]

In that case, anybody know a monster that drops a lot of mechguns? I'm hunting Charge Vulcans(kind of hard since this kind of info isn't on the site).

[Neith]

As far as I know, it doesn't work like that. A monster can have a weapon common drop, but that could be a Cane, a Sword, a Rifle, anything.

This would be how it works.

Each enemy has a certain type of drop that will appear only for that enemy. Types would be: weapons, barriers/shields, units, and armor.

Each enemy also has a rare drop, a meseta drop, and a support (green item box) drop. This is automatic for each enemy.


The weapon type frequency (swords, rods, rifles, etc.) are based on Section ID. If you kill an enemy who has a drop something that is a weapon, your section ID will base it which will more commonly be.

i didn't know about that , i just noticed it because i was so focused on gi gue drops.
thanks to everybody for clearing this up ... time to continue my SJS hunt i guess

for charge mechs, vulcans whatever, i'd suggest to pipe the shop - as in setting a pipe and reloading the shop's offers until they offer charge stuff with 50 hit. shouldnt take long.
