How bad are the drop rates?

[Alula Samaya]

I want to invest my time into the game, and curious because everyone whinning about the drop rates, just how bad is it??

[dian (・∆・)]

the only thing that is rough to farm is reactor and external component imho.(other than modules that only drop from void intercept)

Just be ready to play this game like a 2nd job if you get unlucky.

How bad are the drop rates.

[Jukebox]

Took me 40 runs to get a 20% part.
Took me 2 runs for a 3% part.

RNG at its finest.

Not quite Warframe bad (if you've ever played that game) but marginally worse than Destiny bad.

They are pretty bad and definitely not what is listed. I am well over 60 attemps to get a 3% drop. And before that it took me 100 hours of gameplay to get one.

Drop rates are fine, because this is a game where grind and optimization of it is a main content.
Also most complains about drop rates are from people, that think that 20% drop rate means that you should get the drop in 5 runs at most because 20%*5=100%.

They are exactly what is listed. You always only have a 3% dropchance no matter if you run it once or 1000 times. It won't change.
Also for amorphs mats, those chances increase from 3% to 6% on hard mode and even 10% when using shape stabilizer.

RNG will always be RNG. Some things will take 20 attempts to get and others will take 2 with the same drop rate. If you want to get all of the rarest drops in a day then this is the wrong game for you however the gameplay is fun and grinding is pretty easy, just time consuming at worst.

[D. Flame]

(20% chance to get the part) * (3% for the material to shape into the item you actually want) = 0.6% chance or about a 3 in 500 chance.

It is even more annoying when the item drops from outposts because outposts have a mandatory 5 minute cool down.

Not only is the RNG dumb, a lot of the missions are bugged. When a mission says "20%" drop rate but will not drop you anything that you need. The bugged aspect is often fixed by switching to a specific Descendant. But at that point you already put in the worthless grind.

Any proof for these claims ?

Completely depends on if Lady Luck has you in her favor or not.

In one day, I managed to farm Ultimate Lepic's materials easy peasy. Subsequently worked on ultimate Bunny the next day, and got like 2 of her parts from 3% drop rates easy enough and the third part kinda normally. The last 6% drop ain't dropping for a day now.

RNG is going to RNG.
