Barrett’s bulletproof vest

So how often does it drop? I am ok with doing Lexington twice a day...

[Fetito Fazzito]

Is it the last item that drops during the mission (when it says "mission completed"?) or does it drop after killing the boss itself (over her body)?

[Grey Paint]

i got it in the monthly supplycrate, i would say its a really rare random loot you could get from even gold elite or boss hunt.

that does not mean you would have to kill it 300 times but yea, pretty rare

It also doesn't mean you will get it in 300 runs. It could allude you for eternity.
I know I've done the mission 150+ times and opened 500+ Prof Caches. Nothing.

I did it once a day and got it on my 4th day. But since then I did 5 runs a day and nothing.

over her dead body, I got mine after about 40 runs, a great roll too on the stats.

Rubbish.

The drop rate is 1%, as it is with all exotics. This means that theoretically you need to killed the named enemy 100 times to get it to drop one as it's a 1% chance every time.
This could mean that you rack up 1000 kills and still won't have one.
That's how chanse works.

Besides in 1.6 there will be exotic cashes guaranteed to drop exotic items.

Isnt the chance higher on 'Challenging' difficulty?

[ru55lee]

I got mine through my level up cache.

it's only on challenging.

yesterday is killed her for the 74th time and almost threw my mouse when I saw her dropping 4 itmes, instead of the regular 3.. then I walked over and saw it was just the showstopper.. well at least something.
seems like i'll farm on later this da.ly.

[Harthlock]

Wait. Wasnt the 1.6 patch details saying that the named weapons and gear will turn into exotics that can be acquired from Legendary difficulty in boxes as a weekly challenge? If so people really should wait out till 1.6 and avoid farming burnouts.

That's the thing with rates - saying it has a 1% drop rate doesn't mean you have to kill them 100 times before it drops. It simply means there's a 99% chance it won't drop.

And just to throw a wrench into the circle: It has a 50% chance to drop: it either will - or it won't. But seriously, each time you farm it - there's a 99% chance it won't drop - so do it agian and again until your computer rolls an 1 out of 100.

In all seriousness though, people have commented having a better shot through a cache than actually seeing it drop.

[Dark Elf]

Just cuz:

If you want to see what 1% is:

I've seen it drop on hard on Twitch. That's confirmed on Ubi forums as well.

[mckrackin5324]

~1% chance.
So every run,there is a 99% chance it won't drop.
Some/MOST players won't get it.

[SSgt Avenger.at]

I've read now several times now, that some players did the mission for less than 10 times and got them even twice..

I did it for more than 70 times now and all I've git so far is one Showstopper.

That's a bit frustrating..
