How 2 Get Veteran Items ?

[はと]

I played as lv30(+25) Pyromancer and opened 30 legend chests(only general and emperor).
But I never seen red items.

[Bayonetta]

That part is pure RNG and FatShark thinks that is cool, people with luck has no problem at all, so who cares (dont know why there is no compensation for red where it has compensation for the non red)

[Fryskar]

Short answer: open a few hunderd more.
Long answer: droprates of red are somewhere about 1% for legend emperor (there is a thread about a guy who hacked and got himself 9k leg emp boxes and 133 reds iirc).

Drop rate is around 4-5% per legendary emperor chests, so you're unlucky.
As Bayonetta said, it's pure RNG, it doesn't look like you get any luck boost or anything if you're unlucky with reds.

I'm pretty sure that number is an underestimation

[sergantuss]

red items is totaly same as orange...i mean for stats(the blue stats is maxed but they didnt add much in this game)
in V1 red items was better then all others items but in V2...well. Just for achivement or blue light on weapon

[Noha]

i havent played that much. chilling some legend runs without success of getting any reds, but i did get a red trinket in challenger when i was leagues below 300 item power. ( and the red is obv. max power and stats, so it gave me quite a hand to max out the rest of my gear.)

Ps. i bless sigmar for granting me my trinket every day online, max rolled curse resistance in my <3

Well... if that can make you feel better, the only thing a red item provides, is a bit less RNG when it comes to stats, and a blue-ish skin...

When you start up the game, during the loading screen, you have to hold alt (during the entire ordeal) then quickly type in the name of the item (e.g. dual daggers) you want, after you've typed it in, press F4 so that the internal script knows that you're done and there you have it 100% guranteed veteran item on your next chest opening (it has to be champ or legend),

Enjoy

Red weapons in VT1 were only situationally better due to having fixed stats that did not compliment divergent playstyles. This is fine imho, but an important disctinction to make.

If your gear level is not at least really close to 300, it doesn´t matter how many chests you are opening.

Thanks guys!
I will open more chests.

Actually he only opened up 3000, Since you get 3 items per box, 133 of the possible 9000 were reds. It's a 1.477~% per slot, and 4.433~% per legend emperor's.

It's better to just keep rerolling with green and blue dust until you get something preferable.

After a Steam total hours displayed of 295.
I got 1 red conflag staff.

Best way to get Veteran Items is to cheat : hacking unlimited health / ultimate and then trolling the Internet about how easy you trump Legend and that the drop rates for it all are fine you whiners.

Reds have nothing to do with Gear level, you can get one as soon as you're lvl 30, whatever your gear level.

That's the problem with pure RNG, still seems incredible to have played 200+ hours and not have a red, you're really unlucky, and that's why we need a better way to get them (contracts, deeds, or whatever)
Only 1.8% have the veteran gear achievement, but when I see only 6.1% finished Skittergate champion I don't find the number that low.
