Alpha Loot

[Mini_Watto]

I'm sure a lot of you will have killed alpha raptors and carnos by this point, and I'm sure quite a few of you have enjoyed the various powerful pikes, bows, crossbows etc that drop from them. I imagin, however (maybe I'm wrong?) that fewer amongst you can claim to have killed an alpha rex.

To those who have, I want to ask, what is the loot USUALLY like? Not the odd one off where you got an ascendant assault rifle or something else OP, what's the average? And more importantly, how often do you get nothing at all?

I ask because, after half an hour, over 200 arrows, 30 bullets, a broken rifle and a damn near broken crossbow, I killed my first alpha rex. I slide down the cliff I had been so valiantly camping on to find the beast has nothing more to offer than its arms. Seriously? Is this some sort of sick joke, or did RNG just decide that my cliff sniping tactic was too cheap to warrant any sort of reward other than a severely mis-sized trike helmet?

Random loot as far as I have found..killed 3 alpha t-rex one had green pike and a blue phiomia saddle, others just mixed loot mostly useless

I;ve gotten a mastercrafted cross bow out of one, various journyman tools and pikes... an acendant flak vest (out of a level 120 rex).. Ive found that level 1- 20 generally don't yield anything and 20 -100+ give good loot

Yea the sure need to upgrade the loot rate of this Alpha dinos, at least on REX, I mean I get primitive axe pickaxe and sometimes, I know it might sound weird, but I get sometimes from Alpha dinos a friking berries, I mean I don't mind get them items cause I got pretty nice stuff, but atleast journymen stuff or for lvl alpha rex 100 mastercraft !

Yeah, as perspective the standard loot I seem to get on alpha raptors (any level really) is a few berries, maybe one or two of a pickaxe, hatchet, pike, bow, crossbow, leather armour, that sort of thing. Prefixes range from ramshackle to mastercraft. I was rather expecting a rex to drop at LEAST journeyman level stuff, pretty much as standard.

I've killed two. One had same type of loot as Carno and Raptor and one was empty. Still looking for a better rifle haven't seen one yet.

[Dr Cyanide]

well we are still in EA so it will be interesting to see the ballance out, Alphas a DEFINITLY a Risk reward mini boss when it comes to getting good loot, I'd day that the harder the Alpha the the better the toys you get.

[Dr Cyanide]

OH ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ just got a frikken mastercrafted long rifle out of a level 60 Alpha T

I've eaten many alphas of all variety. Their loot appears to be entirely random. 80 something rex yielded ramshackle junk while a level 12 raptor got me a 186% journeyman crossbow. 40 alpha carno gave me mastercraft hide and chiting pieces (not bps sadly) while a 76 rex had nothing but arrows berries and arms.

Its a bit disheartening really. You'd think the harder the alpha the better the reward but that seems not to be the case.

Just another aspect of how half-baked the Alpha design and implementation really is. If it werent for the exp boost they give my dinos id ignore them most of the time at this point.

Honestly, wasn't even that much xp either. Killed it at pretty much rock bottom of level 75, didn't even get a third of the way to 76.

Alpha rex is definately the worst loot from my experience, i've killed 3 and had no loot at all while i've killed over 40 raptors and got journeyman tools and bows also mastercraft tools with different stats on them. Apprentice pikes bows and weapons. Alpha carnos are the same as rexs dont get much from them which is dissapointing but prime meat is good.

What level Alpha? A level 18 or so raptor gave my 200 bird just shy of a full level, my 231 rex still gets a good jump from any mid level carno or rex as well.

[AgeAgainst]

I killed a level 44 alpha rex and got.... 2 tyrannosaur arms. I manually harvested so weight on my dino wasn't an issue.

A level 48 alpha rex netted me a primitive crossbow.

My worst loot has come from alpha rexes. I get better loot from alpha raptors & carnos. My best loot to date was a level 4 alpha raptor netting a mastercraft pickaxe but only 181.1% damage.
