New Boss doesn't drop anything

[[They/Them] ChesseTheWasp]

We destroyed 2 of them with exocraft lasers and they just explode into nothing on death

If you're referring to the new Broodmother, they do drops, just not every time. Sorta like the Derelict Freighter furniture - sometimes you'll open a container and get a new prop, usually not, though. I've gotten 2 helmets and a new title so far....

^^^ Keep at it, this drop is 'uncommon' for sure!

How to find one? What steps to follow?

they drop some cosmetic parts (bug like helmets) sometimes...

Very underwhelming loot imo, just like the actual fight

From space, you'll scan planets that show "Vile Brood Detected". Then, find a Grub on the ground, Look at it in your inventory and you'll know what to do. : )

Four helmets are to be had from them. After that, I have gotten nothing. It does seem like they should drop something after that, maybe after the expedition?

Totally agree
Idk why fights are so damn bad designed in this game

Ye, is pretty bad that, outside of cosmetics, they dont drop anything else
Replayability is a pretty important thing to consider in sandbox games. Makes no sense not having a reason to farm them

I have killed over 100 of them, and not a single drop, if it wasn't for others above saying they had stuff drop, i would consider the drops to be nothing but lies... I have another 30 or so grubs to crush at some point, is lucky I care not for the helmets they drop, but on principle, WHERE ARE MY DROPS ?
Is lucky they take about 30 seconds to kill... They really should spawn a lot more bugs, and dangerous ones, the Vile Spawn things can actually give you more problems as they can overwhelm you if you aren't careful, but then just stand on your ship and then they are just blaster fodder...

apparently you have to break all the armor and it doesn't work in expeditions

This is an easy question to answer! This was never meant to be a combat game! It is a casual sandbox game with several attempts to 'bolt on' different things, this is why flying the ships isn't realistic, why combat is disappointing and why the multiplayer has lots of quirks and issues.

If it was never meant to be a combat game then why do they market it as having great combat?

And why are there tons and tons of weapons and upgrade customization if there's nothing challenging to fight in the universe?

That is the dumbest excuse i ever read amd the sad part is that some fanatics repeat it like parrots

If a game has a system or a mechanic it must be well developed, implemented and integrated.
Nms has a lot of mechanics and all of them are mediocre, why bothering adding combat or survival if they wont matter at all?
And the rest is pretty bad, like how worthless, bad implemented and similar are animals and plants. Why bothering making an algorithm to create animals and plants if the player wont interact with them. And the sodim, oxygen or the dangerous plants are exactly the same on every planet

I can keep going but i think i dont need to waste more time to make mu point clear. They should improve what they implemented. Right now is a time sink with many boring or frustrating moments
