Energy Activator Blueprint
The "Energy Activator Blueprint" has a consistent drop rate for me, occurring every three days. Despite a mere 3% chance of obtaining it, I've noticed this pattern after opening around 20-30 Amorphous Materials during those periods. This consistency makes me believe the system might be rigged.

How can such an essential resource be treated this way? I'm only able to place a maximum of two fully upgraded modules on my weapons, and even then, they aren't sufficient to compete against the more challenging enemies.

I'm convinced the company has manipulated the drop chances. The blueprint will eventually drop if you continue playing and defeating bosses, but the process seems far from fair.

You only need to put the free energy activators on bunny and thundercage; use bunny to level the bad guns and thundercage to level every characters that do not have as much aoe clear power as bunny. This game gave people very obvious and easy directions to follow for high efficiency leveling(thundercage and bunny being some of the earliest sidequests).

You can do well against all hard mode colossi with a gley + vestigial organ(with decent reactor stats you can get 100% uptime for infinite ammo), with only some catalysts, no activator.

Catalysts are quite easy to come by. Gley is the real issue; because farming up Gley is far easier when you can consistently farm hard mode colossi.

I only got my first(and so far, only) energy activator bp after 100hr.

Sir.. I'm trying to say that the drop for the Energy Activator seems RIGGED

Yes, that's why it costs unreasonable amount of real money to buy one.

I made 2 runs in a row, and got 2 in a row. So based on your freakish logic, it's in line with a 100% drop rate.

RNG is RNG. You roll a die and you either win the lottery or not.

Try farming catalyst blueprints instead, higher odds. Well, I did not even target farm it, just randomly got 10 now by playing the game, and they are not even quest rewards...

Im sure casinos are rigged too, then again the tin foil hat you are wearing might be too tight

Some are, typically underground casinos managed by criminal syndicates. Of course, even a worker in a legit one can rig it too, just that this worker is a criminal too. Getting caught obviously has serious consequences. lol.

You're suggesting that no one play anyone but Bunny?
You need the Energy Activators for the majority of characters to be potent, increasing your module capacity is a must. Sure you can use bunny to farm them, but it doesn't change how impossible the drop rate is.

Get your tinfoil hats guys, this will be a wild ride!

I'm suggesting people should be using more efficient options.
Everyone has free efficient options for farming.

If you put activator on bunny then you will have a better time farming everything else and breeze through normal/easy/training mode to hardmore where droprates are better, at least for gley iirc.

And when you get the everything else, eventually, you will be able to use those. The game starts at hard mode and bunny will get you there faster.

Yeah I don't know what to say about my luck.

Somehow I get the exact same outcomes multiple times in a row where I farm a defense wave to get the amorph - then go to the battle - get gun blue print. Go back to wave defense to get another amorph - go back to battle get same blueprint. go back to wave.....

Best thing is how fkn useless shape stabilizers are.... it's just an extra step to ensure you don't get the item you want/hoped for.

5 activators and 9? catalysts so far, and i didnt even farm for them

It is random, don't make people believe in false promises...
