Cant find any rares , what gives?

[rena-ko]

do you happen to have a mag with a higher level than 200 equipped?
thats about the only reason that comes to mind.

[UncaHank]

im completely legit , i raised my Bana and Durga so thts not it.

I had a problem like this earlier this year and i figured out that i had a weapon that was hacked. If u have online u probably traded with someone and someone probably gave u a hacked weapon or mag. This is called a stacked item make sure u check your percents and some armors as well. Post back all the items ur character has on.

Oh god, stop saying BS like that. The ONLY things that can affect drop rates are stacked items and mag levels higher then 200.
Hacked weapons and armor will do NOTHING to drops.

[UncaHank]

i took a stack of sol atoms from a guy X99 thts prob it thnx

[crazygood31]

thats definantly it

[TwinBlade]

Hacked weapons do effect drop rates i traded for an orotiagito that had 100/100/100/100 and it kept me from finding special weapons.

A "hacked" weapon will not affect drop rates. A "hacked" mag will only affect drop rates if it is over level 200. A stacked item has nothing to do with weapons or armors/shields. A stacked item is a group of something (like mates, fluids, atomizers etc.) that exceeds the natural limit that the game imposes. Stacked items do affect drop rates. For example if you had a stack of 255 Trimates in your character's inventory, then that would disable rare drops.

As for your editted post, it is impossible for a weapon to have stats in more than 3 areas. The game code simply does not allow that as there is not enough room (byte-wise) to enter in a 4th stat.

Then i am not sure why i couldnt find weapons a while back because i never had a stacked mag only a weapon.

[Corey]

You can't have a stacked mag..wtf?

[TwinBlade]

I never had a stacked mag i have a Pitri 37/150/13/0 i had a stacked weapon though that had 127% hit

That's not a stacked weapon.
Stacked=11+ items on amounts that aren't supposed to go over 10.

Stacked percents (127x3 in one attribute) will not affect rates though.

so gtfo

[TwinBlade]

I know but i couldn't find special weapons for like 5 months and as soon as i took off the weapon with 127% hit percentage i started to find weapons again. I never had stacked items or a mag thats is why i said it was strange that i couldn't find anything. I don't know why u are getting mad i am just telling u what happened to me. So stop getting so pissed off about nothing.

It has been proven that only stacked items (i.e. Monomate x20) and Mags>lvl.200 will affect drop rates.

Perhaps you were just highly unlucky and could not find rare weapons.

[TwinBlade]

I guess so.

[The-King]

I haven't found a rare weapon since forest on Vhard mode, and I'm on Ruins Vhard mode and I played most of the missions and Forest a couple of times
Its a matter of luck

You're not entitled to a Rare
