Syndicate Labs

[Eghlain]

So every now and then you can "raid" a syndicate lab. But I don't get the point of it, I kill everything as fast as I can and most intel stuff or w/e its called is not destroyed. But it doesn't add anything to intel on them or w/e? Unless I'm missing something what you need to do in a lab? Or is it just loot.

you need to interact with the syndicate masters for gaining intel. no matter the mission you do (defend, fortification, stop the transport, ambush)

Rush past the magic and rare mobs, unless you need to fill flasks or build up some Vaal Souls for a Vaal skill, and fight the Syndicate Masters in the end room to "complete" the Lab raid.

And there I thought you would get extra Intel or something, cause it's a lab. Oh well

You get intel for mastermind. The only way to get mastermind intel is trough hideouts,which is why you get the only option to "interogate" instead of execute. As for mastermind, God forbid if you fail gonna take a while until you get the chance to finish it again. Intel gaining on mastermind is extremely slow IMO.

As for loot: It depends what rank (how many stars) hideout's generals had and his/her associates in that branch. Long story short - the more stars generals and his associates have = better loot.

Yeah, that's what I mean, they should have some reward for protecting the items.

Yeah but it's odd isn't it? You raid a lab, perserve the equipment so you expect some kind of extra intel reward or crafting designs or w/e. And when you stop a convoy you would expect some extra loot or w/e cause what else are they carrying in a convo, can't be fertilizer :P

Syndicate members drop VERY good ♥♥♥♥. Someone got a triple mirror drop from there. Are we REALLY complaining about Syn rewards? They're HANDS DOWN the best rewards in the game.

the safehouses are good, the master encounters are as profitable than your average boss aka not worth. I mean yeah I get new crafting recipes but most of them I never use. So in the end its nice to unlock something but if we talking value, then no not really.

and extremely lucky encounters dont count. if some random guy would found a mirror in the mud flats than the mud flats are the best area to farm?
the currency drops of the master have the same weights than currency which dropping on their own. so in the end most currency drops are augments, silver coins or chaos orbs.
