Emperors Gift?

[Elixx]

So i hit 30 earlier today and have been spamming heresy difficulty for a few hours. Now i hear people talk about loot in voice chat like they are getting loot from missions. I assume they mean Emperors Gift after the mission is complete.

Now here is the problem, i think i only have gotten 4 of them or so in total since 1-30 and i assumed that was because i hit a milestone during leveling, and none after i hit 30. Is the loot system just so shallow to sit and wait for timers in the shop?

Now i know there are other reasons for people to play end game but i dont see the point of it. I did all but 1 class penances and i just wont try them anymore becasue, well it is nearly impossible do do as a solo w/o gaining large ammounts of mental stress and other related health issues. Is there really no loot from missions in this game or am i just super unlucky with Emperors Gift? Am i doing somthing wrong other then completing the missions?

honestly itsd better to wait and find a god-tier grey weapon/item in the shop and concecrate it. since it base state wil already be high.

Yeah i read about that but i figgured it was old mechanics from beta and has been patched out. From the moment i hit 30 there has not been one gray item in shop that has nearly as good rating as the other stuff in the shop. My items in regular shop at just over 400 rating and daily vendor as high as 500 rating but i cant afford those because of the time gated mechanics. But the gray items are around just over 300 rating.

I completed like 80+ heresy, damnation missions. Got maybe 8 gifs.

So they do drop, i probably did 10-15 and still not one of them dropped, so i was getting worried im doing something wrong.

They mainly drop, if you do secondary objectives. Without them, not so much. And my most common drop is autogun, so worthless. There also seems to be a cap of some way.

I still remember when I did a double take after seeing a recon lasgun which did 90 damage per shot in the shop when every other one I've found does 40-50. Instant purchase and consecrate on that one.

Also, emperor's gift seems entirely random. I ended up getting 5 in a row last night, though none of it was useful :(. It seems to happen more often with better quality loot when the secondary mission is completed, but randomness means this could also be a false positive. I haven't gotten a chance to observe it enough yet, and I figure the data scrubbers will figure it out sooner than me anyways.

I did 3 missons today got a Golden Laser gun and Revovler, better than what I had, but they aren't the great rolls rather on the average or slightly above.

The way progression/stores/mission map is structured in Darktide, I would not be surprised if there is a weekly softcap for emperor gifts. At least this is how it feels to me. During beta and after release, I've gotten multiple gifts in a row sometimes for 3 mission straight, independent of my level or mission i was doing it seems, after a few it slows down to be 1 every 5 or so missions, until it stops completely. Next week rolls over, it rains again.

I've been extremely lucky after launch with emp gifts. I've gotten like 5 or 6 oranges playing malice/heresy.

Must be nice getting gifts xD I've had maybe 4 since playing and I'm 1 level away from 30... was stuck with the same weapon from level 10 to 27 before anything in the shop was even the same dmg as what I was using, the loot really feels bad in this game and makes me wish they had the same loot chest per game like vermintide 2, even if it was all white/green items at least it feels like I'm actually getting loot instead of playing with no what feels like zero progression.

i got 2 gray emperors gifts and 3 grays from the dude you make missions for, i think i angered big E somehow

[GWOP-W×TCH]

I hit level 30 a long time ago and get emperor's gifts all the time still. A bunch of golds, some blues, some purples, some greys. Not sure how they trigger it, but maybe just unlucky.

[2D > 3D WEEB 4 LIFE]

There are curios that replace weapon drops with a 10% chance to get a curio so I'm assuming that weapon drops have about the same chance.

The problem is that the weapons are designed so poorly that most of the time you're going to be looking for a gray item with extremely high base numbers so that it's worth upgrading.

I got a gold bolter 460 after joining a level1 assassination mission at 90%. Sort of load into mission, go to elevator, kill boss, get relic bolter. GG

I'm at around mission 24 and nearing 30 missions in a mix of malice and heresy with no Emperor's gift since. Played with friends for like 5 missions and they get one for each. Either I'm super unlucky like you or the game is telling me the emperor will never reward me.
