Operations Loot

[caliinyo]

Hi,

So basically.. I am unsure about some things regarding loot in operations and if I can get some explanations that would be great.

What are Gene-Seeds? What is the purpose of them?
Guardian Relics? Is there any other use besides just reviving if you are downed?
Armoury and Weapon data.. I know these are used to unlock weapon and armour upgrades, do they always respawn every time you join a new mission? Or is it just once?

Maybe I should just let everything fall into place by just playing the game but I don't like having no knowledge about certain things regarding the game.

Gene seeds are extra xp if you or whoever is holding it survives the mission without going down after picking it up. Guardian relics are self revivals and they'll reset your mortal wound counted when used after going down after a mortal wound. Data slates respawn in missions every time you start one from my understanding. There's a few points each map they have options on spawning in

The collectible armoury data gives you points to use for unlocking weapon masteries, and everyone in the team gets these when just one player picks it up and if the mission is successful.

Oh, so it's for the entire group. That's great.. thank you so much. I thought I'd have to pick them up every time myself.

Gene-seeds are an item that one person picks up that takes the place of their relic slot, if they go down they lose the gene-seed, the gene-seed will give extra xp at the end of the mission if it's still held at the end.

Only one person can pick up the gene seed

Guardian relics let people revive themselves when they're downed.

Armory data is available in every mission in a set number of locations on the map, this data is used to unlock weapon tiers and can be used to master weapons for mastery points (or you can just use the weapons for a few games and master them that way). Armory data can only appear once in a mission, however random miniboss fights (carnifex, neurothrope, helbrute) can spawn that can give you another armory data.

Only one person has to pick up the armory data, it gives it to everyone as long as you achieve victory.
