Earned a Lostech mech part - Black Knight BL-6B-KNT

[Xponent5446]

I earned this Black Knight as part of the end the Liao Alliance Flashpoint. It looks awesome, mostly becuase it indicates it should have a pile of Double Heat Sinks. Problem is, I don't know if I'll ever come across another 2 parts to complete the salvage.

Anyone else out there ever seen one or more of these in your game? I have to think they're ridiculouly rare.

I wonder if they fixed the Black Knight Royal then? It used to be an illegal design with more DHS in the legs than there were slots.

I got 2 hunks of the Highlander 732 B from flashpoints, and got the Griffin 2N (yes it's misnumbered) from another flash point just whole hog. So it's likely that if you play enough flashpoints you'll eventually get it. It's also possible we might find parts on the black market.

I finished an HGN 732B from Flashpoints (2)/SLDF stores (1). I also got the SLDF Griffin whole as another poster noted above. I also got a Gauss Ammo as primary and Gauss Rifle as a bonus reward for a Flashpoint that didn't mention anything about LosTech. I think it's all just luck of the draw on the loot tables. The problem I have now is I ran out of flashpoints and normal missions are so unrewarding in comparison when you already have 2x HGN-732b, 4x AS7-D, and 2x KGC-0000. I enjoyed the tonnage restriction flashpoints just because it gives you a reason to run something besides 4x 100 Ton.

You can also pick up some LosTech in flashpoint missions if the OpFor has it (briefings mention it). There's at least one "Frankenmech" available through flashpoints as well. The reward is listed as "Rare Mech". No spoilers tho.

E: Just spotted a full HGN-732b in a shop in Liao space. $34 million. With less-than-neutral rep.

Had a lostech highlander in a black market. 24mil - Shame i was sittong on 6 mil and not even done Smithon yet xD

Do you remember which planet? Still haven't dug into they JSON to figure out how the black markets work. Also, has anybody found lostech in a faction store or actually found a faction ally-only mission?

[Brother Sharazad]

Black market Mechdaur in Arano Space. = X1 Grasshopper, X1 Highlander SL. - also just found in the normal store at smithon = A Gauss rifle & ammo.

I dunno what the odds are anymore but the regular shops have changed as well. I found a HEX III on Pilpala which is a crappy backwater planet.

My question is: should they correct by changing the "4" to a "2" or giving it a plasma rifle?

I just earned a Whole Lostech Griffin 4N with 4 DHS by double crossing house Liao on a 3 skull flashpoint on Yuris (salvage only said "rare items"). Maybe these are more common than I anticipated

So, my question is, with the main store campaign, can I find LosTech/Buy-LosTech by going to the proper worlds, or is it tied to mission progress? Also, anyway to get Flashpoint content during the campaign? If so, how?

from the looks of it it should work there too because there is no seperated settings for the planets and shops between career and story.

There's also a random event in the campaign that nets you a couple of double heat sinks. For me, it was Dr Murad telling me she'd been asked to go help Morgan Kell with some LosTech. I gave her permission to go, and paid 500k c-bills towards the work. Kell gives you the heat sinks to say thank you.

Yes, although as the others said, there's an element of RNG that determines if LosTech parts are sold at any particular time.

Assuming that you've purchased the DLC, Flashpoint missions are End-Game content (after you've completed the story). Alternatively, you can play the Open-World "Career Mode" for the opportunity to have Flashpoint missions pop-up every so often.
