Why must I suffer

No, I did not

Shell shock is very hard to get from that mission. I think it took me weeks to get it. It’s one of the Rare mods though. Baro normally have that mod so if you give up farming it, you randomly can get it from him.

Not as bad as farming Tempo Royale. That mod got a seriously low drop chance.

Sabotage? You mean Hive, right? It's not actually very hard to farm, just get one cache and get out. It can only drop from the first cache. You can blow up all the hive nodes really fast with Equinox. I used to farm them for plat when they were like 130p.

That may have been true in the past that you only needed one cache, but you need all three for shell shock, salad coords, firestorm or high voltage now.

Not true. Shell shock is only from rotation C (third cache).

Either suffer or buy it from other players

In 5 hours you could farm prime parts from relics, sell them for plat and buy your mod.

im so glad baro brought mine

[fragball]

i wouldn't call 4.51% chance, when all 3 caches are found that rare, but ofc, doing those mission 25 times or more in a row sure sucks...
but that's nothing compared to getting the parts for a broken war form those bloody conculysts -
which was at 1% last time i checked - with a 50/50 chance to either blade or hilt. and consider that only every 3rd sentien is a conculyst AND you need 2 blade-parts too.

This. More people should be aware of this. There's always other ways to grind for the same thing, and often times just getting the plat is the better option.

rather than farm for a particular mod, i would suggest to just farm in general and then find a way to covert that to plat.. e.g. rivens from sorties, sell syndicate stuff...

then buy what you need from that plat you just farmed.

Unless they changed something within the last couple months, the wiki is flat-out wrong. I can tell you from personal experience that Hive missions have always given their reward rotations out backwards, starting with rotation C, then B, then finally A. I only needed one cache when I got my Shell Shock by random chance, or the multiple High Voltages I got along the way.

x4 High Voltage from the mission ensured that I could
