Flashpoints give uncommon loot on completion.

They are in the game files, not on any mechs and don't appear in shops though.
You probably only get rare SLDF weapons (and maybe mech/mech parts) from flashpoint rewards - I don't have the DLC, so can't say that for sure.

Without DLC I don't think you can get t4 upgrades or improved SLDF weapons
(You can get stock SLDF weapons though; can also get highlander b mech/mech parts.)

Truthfully I have never heard of that site - any way of telling when it was last updated?

Click history, that page was last updated on July 14.

That wiki doesn't seem great, it doesn't have the ~50 newer planets, is missing some stuff, has some sort of useless pages, etc.

The devs give you all the game data in what is basically plain text, just easier to look through game files lol.

Found a large pulse laser + in my own carer last time I played.

Decent enough. Not mind-blowing, but decent.

Have to admit the biggest bonus for myself was getting some new laser visuals and sounds, though.

Do like this game on the whole, but I swear I see green lines sometimes when I close my eyes. Get they're the work-horse weapon of the Inner Sphere, but you just get a bit sick of seeing & hearing medium lasers after a while, you know?

Looking at game files:
itemCollection_loot_careerReward_4/5/6 can award SLDF weapons, mech parts, and upgrades.
These look to be awarded during career mode based on rank.

Also itemCollection_loot_Item/ItemDouble/ItemTriple_SLDF

I don't know what calls those, but it seems like flashpoints might.
It's the only way I can see to get SLDF + and ++ weapons, t4 upgrades, and mech parts for things like griffin 4n or the SLDF atlas. (aside from whatever you get from the campaign)

Can confirm that I got my large pulse laser from a flashpoint. The one where you only get to field two mechs at the end, and get some hot shot big name mercenary dude & his unnamed friend riding along in a... Battlemaster and Highlander, I think? Some pretty rare mechs filling out mech spots 3 & 4, at any rate.

Anyway, hard as nails mission. One of the guest mechs got one of its torso sides blown up, and I was rather pleasantly surprised to see some lostech show up in intact among the salvage.

Not sure that was quite intended part of the rewards and how easily repeatable it is, but eh. That's how the dice fall sometimes.
