Most efficient way to farm the event loot?
I've been playing Breach the entire time and it's pretty disapointing to not have a guaranteed chance to get atleast one.
Do we get the same chance to find the effects and outfits on any gamemode?

I would imagine it's the same for every game mode.

That said, Breach is probably best because you get multiple pieces of gear each round.

Of course, you'll need a lot of stamina to farm that way xD

True, you can get multiple drops in Breach, however I notice it usually only gives 1 event item (more on rare occasions), if any, while the other drops are normal. From my experience so far in this event and previous events, you are more commonly given things like effects, outfits, and head ornaments before weapon drops. Yes, weapon drops do happen now and then, but you're more likely to get an effect

I find Dominion to be better than Breach because of this. It's faster and you'll usually get one of the event things after every round. The faster you can finish getting all the effects/outfits and whatnot, the more likely you'll start getting weapon drops. At that point it would be ok to switch back to Breach

From what I can tell the game makes a loot roll on event items after a match. It first looks at what items you already have, as it will never give a duplicate effect. Effects have the highest rate of drop, followed by head ornament then outfits, while weapon drops are at the lowest. However if you have all the other things already, then it can only drop a weapon part when it looks to make a event roll

Too bad it doesn't check for duplicate weapon drops. Really annoying when you get the exact same weapon part over and over

So what about duel and brawl?
Dom va AI is the fastest way to get them unless you have arcade mode. Make sure to grab champion status otherwise you are masochist.

I believe that the event drops don't occur in at least duel or brawl against bots at the least, I don't know about PvP versions of the modes however

Does champion status give you extra effects or just the weapon pieces?

To be honest I just played my 3 mains that i wanted the gear 10 matches each (duels) and got the drops for all of them so I have the full gear sets for them.

Hold up. You mean to tell me I've been playing Endless March for event drops when I could have been getting them from a more enjoyable mode this whole time?

Ermm yeah loot drop is available in all modes you don't need to play the Event to get them. Didn't you know? It has always been like that. Event drops are always available in all modes. The issue is that the cosmetics you get the randomly but gear you get it for the character you play. I mean you might play Shaolin and get effects for Tiandi but gear drop you get for Shaolin.

Brawl vs AI seems the fastest for me. An average of 2 minutes\ match, only one in three matches is without any drop (on average).
However, Champion status seems to lower the event weapon drops, as they get replaced with Champion extra gear drops. I don't have solid proof, but in my case after getting Champion status the event weapons drop rate decreased significantly and i started receiving Champion extra loot instead - which i didn't need.

I had no idea, actually. If I had, I would've been having a lot more fun the last few days.

That much I'm aware of. Get effects and stuff for everyone before you even start getting the gear pieces for the person you're playing, and then when you do you get a million pieces you can't use before one you can.

I don't do brawl or duel because the rate you get drops seems pretty low. I can go several rounds and get nothing at the end, and that's with champion status

If you got the drops you wanted out of duels/brawls, I'd consider you lucky

I've pretty much unlocked every effect, outfit and ornament, and the weapon drops are just pooring in now. I've switched to Breach and get several drops per round now that it stopped feeding me the other stuff
