How Rare Are Guardsman?

[Eguzky]

I'm grinding Pallas at Ceres for over an hour looking for Javlok Cores. In around 6 missions, ONE Guardsman has spawned.

I mean, they are multiple on the map, but it seems only the Elite ones summoned by the alarms drops the Core, so I let the alarms get activated every time.

1 in 6 and counting. -.-

Make sure the alarms have been activated and do not deactivate them unless it is a lockdown of course.

I run Lex and it spawns one every time alarms are activated. Takes about 5 minutes.

I never deactive at teh alarms and only once in 6 runs (seven now) has one spawned.

Extremely common, I remember when Javlok was released and I thought they'd be hard to get but ended up getting all the cores in a single 3 minute rescue mission.

[Eguzky]

Damnit. Why is my luck so bad? 7 runs and only ONCE has the Elite Guardsman spawned.

Edit, and I don't do rescue; I suck at, and hate, them. >.<

[Eguzky]

One in eight.

All I get are freaking assault teams, not the Elite guy. WTF

[Sceles]

It's not your luck, you're just doing the wrong missions. From what I remember they have a 100% chance to spawn in rescue missions, there's always two at the rescue point.

[Eguzky]

Oh look. I did a Rescue. I set of fthe alarms from the start, up until the Warden Room.

I stealth killed EVERY WARDEN.

I set the alarms off from then till the exit.

NO ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ JAVLOK CORES.

2 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hours grinding Ceres missions. 0 cores. I need 2 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ more. This is really pissing me off.

You must be new to Warframe. Calm down there, kiddo. This game is a huge grind, cause it's free. There's gotta be some balance in there. At least you have a way to perpetually grind for what you're wanting. Unlike those that are waiting impatiently for a specific loot from an Alert or Invasion.

You could always farm Prime parts for plat to buy the Javlok...instead of acting butthurt towards those trying to help you the best they can.

I love the term 'butthurt' I really shows who's trying to be edgy in a thread.

I'm not swearing at the people helping me. I'm getting pissed at the game.
3 hours of grinding, 2 runs on a Rescue missions people swear up and down 100% has Javlok cores..... and NO JAVLOK CORES.

I usualy do the assasination on exta ceres and get 1 per run without trying might give that a whirl

I think that you typically want to target the Drudge (i.e. Grineer workers) to get Capacitors. Just listen for the sound of them hammering on things.

Drudge don't drop any items or mods, according to the wiki.

And calling someone edgy is any better? LOL

Then again, this is coming from the guy that is getting mad because he can't even look up the right enemy type for a drop


EDIT: also, capslocking like you're "yelling" isn't gonna get your statement across any further than acting like an adult would. Just sayin'. And again, you must be new to Warframe. 3 hours of grinding for something really doesn't mean jack sh*t in this game. Get ready to grind for a lot longer for other things down the road, kiddo.

[Captain_Kaiju]

You also seem to have ignored my idea of farming prime parts to sell for plat and then buying the Javlok...since you're having such an apparently difficult time getting the drops from the wrong enemy type. Maybe it'll speed things up for you a bit? Unless you're so dead set on this one way of grinding that's clearly got you aching in your rectal cavity for no logical reason.

Perhaps there is a level requirement of the enemies to drop the javlok cores. I dont recall having any trouble getting 5.
