Why don't we get dlc weapons in chests?

[Mechanical Mushroom]

I've always been super annoyed by this. In V1 you had the bounty board so you could at least work towards a red and know for sure you'd get one, albeit after a week or two. But now I have to HOPE for FIVE red weapons in order to upgrade just ONE dlc weapon. I've seen on a couple reddit posts the drop rate is somewhere around 20% for legend emperor's chests, but I genuinely feel it's a bit lower than that. So essentially I have to play (on average according to reddit posts) 25 missions in order to upgrade just ONE of the dlc weapons, so a total of 125 to upgrade a new weapon for each character. That's a ridiculous amount of games to just get a little bit of good gear.

Thoughts?

I think something something in game 1 it was like that which made non-dlc users get those weapons when in a lobby who had the DLC, so they went the easy way and said "No" for DLC weapons in this game.

Could be wrong but that is what I heard here on the forums over the years.

Guessing (and asuming that what I heard was true) that they just havent found a way to properly unlock DLC weapons in the chest pool, without everyone having access. Though this sounds way, way beyond stupid. But... I mean I wouldnt say they couldnt pull this off.

Vermintide 1? It was worse there. With the Quest Board you could get about 2 red per week and that under the assumption that they even appeared there in the first place. And DLC weapons never appeared on the Quest Board.

The only way to get one was to play the same DLC missions over and over again and hope that the DLC appears on the loot table AND that you roll for it. If you wanted a red DLC weapons, you had to try who knows how often. It was a bit better for DLC owners as they got an increasing chance after about 10 games replaying the same map. Still had to luck out for a red one which even as DLC owner you easily could need about 100 games for one red DLC weapon due to the superior V1 system.

For non-DLC owners it was even worse with the chance of not having the weapon after dozen to hundred games. Well, basically like now.

I remember in V1 people literally quitting the game after playing for months without seeing a DLC weapon drop from content they paid for. It wasn’t until the Stromdorf DLC that they added a pity timer for weapon drops. I don’t like the V2 loot system either but at least you can try the weapons out as you please since they are all directly craft-able.

Yeah, I didn't compose that properly. I was annoyed and just kinda wrote down what came to mind at the time lol. I should have put the v1 bit after complaining how little chance there was in the first place to get a red. My brother got burned out on V2 because he couldn't get the reds he wanted. Sometimes it's nice to know you can actually work toward a reward KNOWING what it's going to be knowing it's gonna be a red.

But yeah, I understand the frustration. I'm glad they added Chaos Waste because it's a way around the whole 'red' ordeal, but sometimes I don't have an hour and a half to attempt a Chaos Waste, I might only have time for one or two missions. I've put 800 something hours into it and I'm finally having enough reds to get a few of my favorite dlc weapons. Which to me is a ridiculous amount of hours to get a few good weapons.

you need back to ubersreik dlc for krubers dual weapons.

For the Back to Ubersreik weapon you have to play the Horn of Magnus, Garden of Morr, and Engines of War all as Kruber to unlock the mace and sword blueprint.

For Winds of Magic weapon, the Tuskor Spear, you have to play the Dark Omens map as Kruber.

Intentional grind. Just sit back and relax, eventually it will all be over. Takes around 400-500 hours to get the majority of weapons redded out.
