Is hydroid's drops bugged?

[Flat]

I've killed vay hek over 30 times and havent gotten a single hydroid systems blueprint.

[chriszewski]

I didn't get it to drop till my attempts numbered north of 60. RNG doing its thing.

[Spec]

System drops, in general, have lower drop rates that their chassis / neuroptic parts. That's why I gave up and just did the circuit when Hydroid was in rotation. RNG bests everyone at some point...

I'm having the same problem, probably tried him 30 times now. On top of that, he's one of the more annoying fights since you are chasing him every time. Definitely a headscratcher

Vay Hek likes doing that. To spite us if nothing else.

I wonder if DE lowered the drop chance across the board with systems drops or blueprint drops (anything considered to be a rare drop chance) . I have a hard time getting those, even with multiple runs using radiant relics. IDK.

Perhaps it's simply rng, as folk say. Perhaps it's better when everyone is farming for the same item in a squad. I've had better luck that way.

This is helpful for me.

I don't know if Hydroid systems blue print drop chances are similar to 'rare' relic drop chances. I think the RNG drop rates may be slightly tweaked I've read, based on seeds generated for players at game login. IDK. It's a bit of a mystery but interesting at the same time!

Used to be there was also a negative modifier on boss drops for if the player hadn't cleared the starchart area it was in yet as well - example being taxi'd - couldn't say if that is still up though. Would have thought removing it would be a QoL deal you know?

[C.D.J. Grazza]

Yes rng Qol's are always welcome especially if it's to remove any type of possible negative modifier affecting drops.

On the plus side, sometimes, everyone has a good RNG story, where good item dropped when no one was expecting it, and that's always fun. (good rng - luck)

I hear alot about picking up normal frames from 'the circuit' but I need to look more at how that works, when time allows.

probably your luck, last time I got all protea prime parts (system + neu + chassis + main blueprint) within 5 keys (neu use 2)
