To those who struggle to get Meme Virus

[Mitrell]

I have often seen people write that they can not get those Meme Virus.
I have experiensed it many times that you can run 10-20 missions with Perseverance tarot card, and you do not get a single consumeable. I happens to me everyday.
So I think I found a way to solve this with a small time invested.

I think when you start up the game, it loads you in with a fixed drop rate, and loot table. So the tarot cards will not help if you hit a bad loot table/drop rate.
I have tried run a test of 30 missions without the tarot card give me anything.
What I did to get those to drop is to close down the game, not relogging that do not help.
And start it up again. Use the tarot card again and if you do not get a Meme Virus in 3 missions, then do it again until you do.
When you hit the spot where you get some in 3 missions, then just continue.
In this spot I get many Meme Virus. Like 100 in 10 missions or so. The other cards do not matter but a dublicate card could maybe boost it. Have not tried it.
I have been testing this over some days, and the result is the same.
I just want to throw it out there to those who just can not get the Meme Virus.

PS. I do not think tarot card level matter. I believe that the chances those cards have to get the specific rewards are a fixed value, and do not change leveling up the card. The bonus you get leveling up a card, is an all reward bonus, which means it boost all loot quantity not the actual drop rate.
So this method above is working on level 1 cards as well.

Character level also impact drop of Meme virus. You need to be 50+ for them to drop often. I never get Meme drops before I hit 50. So use this method and collect a lot on a high level character to boost xp for a new character. Using this Method I use Meme Virus from level 1 - 100 because I collect a lot of them to new characters.

Also when farming tarot cards, players say you should run a level 3 dublicate card or even 2 of those. But the chance of a dublicate is the same on a level 1 and level 3 card. Those values do not increase with card level. Levels on a card only boost what it tells you on the card. There is no card with drop value on it, which make me believe its the same value regarding the card level. So do not bother level up dublicate cards unless you just want a boost to drop quantity.

The loot system in this game is a mystery and after 2000+ hours I still find out new ways to get the loot I look for. But I believe in the end it all depends on what loot table you start the game with.
I have been running 3 relic drop rate cards + the relic boost consumeable in several missions and not getting any relic, this again boost my theory that other stuff is in play here like the loot table.
