Marauder set drop location?

[Sethsquatch]

I was wondering where does the marauder set drop? i have 2 of the items but i'm not sure where they've dropped from.

[The_Mess]

1) place items of set into inventory

2) look at the item's level requirements

3) find an area with heroes/bosses at or 5 levels above the item's level.

4) Farm, farm and farm until all parts of the set drop.

Basically there's a bias in the loot code that increases the chance of set pieces to drop if you already have a part of the set in your character's inventory. Not that'll save you from farming hardcore though. Or having certain items drop constantly.

Or you could save time and go to the dev's forums and post in the item trading thread :P

But i don't have any thing to trade...

What bits are you missing i got the complete set/slingers jacket/slingers talisman spare you can have for nothing add me if you want them ..I am from the u.k. but dont mind being online late if you are from across the pond and have normal commitmants .

I need the guns Marauders fury and the other one. I have the other parts. But i don't have much to trade...

[dluttrell]

[Sethsquatch]

Incase anyone comes through here looking to farm the set I got most of mine around Twin Falls. Still need to get my hands on Fury tho

I had the Marauder ammo belt ... actually, I found two of them in random trasure troves ... and also Marauder's Justice. Know what? I found two copies of a pistol called Outlaw's Retribution, which was actually better than Justice, even factoring in the additive effect of having two of the four items of the set. I also found Gunslinger Talisman, whch seems to add to the ammo belt effect.

So now I'm dual wielding two Outlaw's Retribution. I do have a number of epic (blue) pistols ... the Slugger, Orwell's, Storm Charged and Justice ... but Retribution looks like the best, at least so far. (All of this gear I found in random treasure drops around level 30-35, on Veteran level, btw).

Mind you, having all 4 items of the set would probably move Justice up to top slot as far as pistols go.

Edit: Oh, and sorry, but I really can't recall where they dropped. It's been a while.

I have found that stuff drops in the mines and cronleys hideout a lot. i farmed the whole set in 4 hours killing elites in those areas.

[frdnwsm]

I was going to suggest Cronley's since half his guys seem to use pistols, but the last 2 times I went through there I didn't find anything at all. Damn you, RNG!

[frdnwsm]

As a late follow up, just yesterday I found two copies of a pistol that is even better than the Retribution ... the Oathbreaker. They dropped totally at random, once from a boss in the Infested Farms hives, and the other was in the treasure chest from the Aetherial Amalgamation. Clearly this was pure RNG action, as neither of these beings had any connection whatsoever with pistols.

Is this true? It's the first I'm hearing of it, so I doubt it, but it's still worth an ask.

Not true afaik. Drop tables I've seen and everything else I've read mentions nothing of this.

That info is old as hell for this game anyway - July 2015. I sometimes wonder if forums for some games would be better off if threads from old enough patches were just locked automatically. :/ I hate misinformation.

Was there any mention of how MUCH the odds increase? If it's like 5% it might not be noticable.

My 4 guys are wearing bits and pieces of several sets, and I haven't noticed any such thing. Well, except for Perdition; I have duplicate pieces of 4 of that set's components ... but they aren't actually wearing any of them!

By inventory, do you mean actually worn, or just in storage?

I seriously doubt this is a thing ... sounds like an Urban Myth to me ... but you never know. Odd glitches can sneak into programs, or it might even be done by design.
