Red items in Champion difficulty

[Gutvald]

Hello there
I've almost 190h of played time so at least half in champion difficulty. Only obtain 1 red item during all that time. Am I cursed by Ranald or is there a stupidly low drop rate chance ?

[Dr. Sinclair]

it is stupidly low, and only from the top 2 chests
most reds come from legend difficulty

You can actually consider yourself lucky, I never got reds in Campion loot chests.

All 3 of my red Veteran items came from Commendation chests.

Bad news is that you won´t get it from champion.

Good news is that you won´t need it for champion.

I think I've gotten more reds from stacks of commendation chests. Just move up to legend, most games you can QP into you won't even have to kill much so if you focus on not going down and sticking near the boys you'll get good gear.

Most of my reds were from soldier/general vaults. (130 hrs)

[Monocaine]

you can surprisingly get them from commendation chests, and champ chests albeit the rate is substantially lower than just getting legend vaults.

Reds are low drop rate.

Even when you get red items, need to remember you are always dealing with RNG aka you may not get the weapon you want.

You don't need reds to get to max power however.

You can get max power on exotics (300 power, maxed rolled secondary stats, and trait).

The only difference powerwise between orange and red, is reds are always at 300 and secondary stats always roll at max.

You can roll max on exotics with all the green and blues you grind up, it takes a bit but its still possible.

The lowest tier of legend vaults gives a better chance of reds than the highest tier of champ chests. Move up.

Red items are a low drop chance to begin with, the higher the difficulty (capped at legend) and the higher the chest the bigger the chance you get. You aren't going to be getting a ton of red drops in champion, if you want to farm them you have to do with in legend with tomes and grims.

you have a stupidly low drop rate in champion. also legend isnt that much harder the only reason legend has trouble is bad teamates. stuff like not letting the ranged damamge peeling at range or running ahead and dying on your own because you walked face first into a patrol.

most losses are because one person could survive all that and got ganked by a special before he could save anyone after killing 2 or 3 of said specials.
