Memento Backpack

[ioneepj]

hi there...could someone confirm/or decline ... if this bloody peace of exo...tic, almost swear, is in the drop pool - or must be obtain for the 1st time (as i didnt play season3, dont know which year) from exo cache? ´coz farming for this pieace since last xmass on every possible place with backpack set to pool - areas, summit, check points, i dont know, everywhere - set on Heroic with all direstives mostly but RNGesuus must hate my flooding me with chameleons bullet kings and Acosta aaaall the time - im getting sick :D

I got it first as a random drop from an exotic cache, my wife got it from a random drop in the summit. So that would lead me to believe it is in the general exotic loot pool.

It's less common than Acosta's and more Common than Ninjabike. And keep in mind that you are more likely to get something you have, that's the nature of RNG and the way the loot pool works for an individual player. Probably took me about 20-30 runs of Countdown to get my Memento and another 15 to get Ninjabike.

i already have two Ninjabikes ... first one droped for me on my very first run in summit - at third floor :D ... so i runned out of Luck for very long time i guess XD

Best way is to join a group of four with backpack as the targeted loot in that area or mission. It gives you three extra chances since most will already have one if it drops.

I started playing last summer and have gotten both the Memento backpack and NinjaBike Messenger backpack so they are definitively in the loot pool. I suspect each of them only drops with specific criteria, but what that is I am not sure.

I mostly do strongholds in hard/challenging. Maybe the Heroic drop table does you no favor because other exotics will drop more often? No idea but might be worth considering.

I have gotten it multiple times, but can't remember where as I felt NinjaBike Messenger was better for me.

this is actually good idea - im tired of bulletspongle enemies on heroic, even with striker or negotiator isnt fun at all and stats on droped gear are just little bit better - maybe its time to drop difficulty to challanging and have some fun instead of waiting for dream drop - thx for inspiration :)

Yeah, I just play on challenging, much more fun that unloading clip after clip into bullet sponges. Seems like the game really does need something in between but that's not going to happen. I'm okay playing on Heroic if I answer a call for help, or occasionally if I get a control point to level 4 but I don't go out of my way to do it. The so-called increased rewards from Heroic story/strongholds are pretty uninspiring given the dramatic 'number go up' of enemies.

It's in the loot pool, I picked it up from a cache I think

lucky you :) i opened countless caches, farmed countless places :D i dont believe that backapack exist anymore XD

Yap, I got mine yesterday from a 15 floor Summit exotic cache reward, and started playing this game like 4 moths back.

Got the Ninjabike as well, and I learned one thing from builds... Removing a backpack from a grouped build, most of the times means removing your ingame nutsack. For a striker build for instance, you really pull the plug on it when removing its backpack, and there are other examples as well. For a hotshot (sniper/skill hybrid) build, things look a lot better.

So don't deem it a silver bullet, it has uses definatily specially for your daily goto roaming build. But look at the pack first you are going to remove.

One tip, I got 4 characters, and usually mats enough (you can buy (cheap) sharing blueprints from inyalah in the white house) for 4 to do weekly mats donations. You can run summit missions for each character as well.

It's not that it doesn't exist, it's how u r going about getting it. I didn't read thru all the comments, so if someone mentioned this, disregard - your chances of an exotic drop of any kind increases dramatically while grouped. And this is where another issue occurs. If u want that rucksack, u have to get a group u can trust, and ideally a lot higher SHD than yourself, Then let everyone know what u want. So not only did u increase the number of enemies and their abilities, but u increased the quality of drops.

Don't take my word for it, try Summit again with an open group setting, directives r not gonna help u much since your focus is gear not XP so don't worry about those - in fact directives risk vs reward isn't worth it as they will just make completing each floor a lot harder and longer. As each person joins your group make it clear what u r looking for and u would appreciate them not 'stealing' it if it drops. Then watch how much different stuff you start picking up. This works open world too.
