neck tail is so painfully hard to get

[Fortnite battlepass]

Why is the drop rate for it so low? i remember killing 8 necks and only getting 2 tail out of them.

Which is pretty troublesome since when im exploring that's what i usually eat, unless im going to a high level area like the mountain then i'll have some higher level food, but usually i just have the tail, meat and the cloudberry.

It's like every time i kill a neck they dont bother dropping any tail.

That seems really low. I haven't had that issue yet, Neck tails have been a pretty common drop. To be honest, I haven't killed nearly as many Neck as I have boar and deer, I am swimming in raw meat, but not much tail, I just don't hunt them as much.

Well wait til you really want serpent stew then xD

Agreed. It's almost as bad as expecting raw meat from boars.

I don't even hope for neck tails unless it's a starred neck. At least they aren't terribly hostile. I tend to kill them on sight with a knife because Necks.

On the other hand they are needed for other things. Maybe it's just a balance thing.

Necktails should always drop a tail, i mean cmon it's nothing. Same with boars, is there no meat on that boar? Did I really hit it so hard that I knocked out the pink fleshy bit like a football and only the skin remains? Silly.

I legit turn them into coal sometimes I get so many. A stack of 3 different foods on me and a chest full at base is good enough for me to not worry about it. I tend to get a bit low on resin though. Luck of the draw, I guess.

I have noticed a drop in meats over all the animals and now a lot of scrap hides and the necktails nothing.
I put it down to my super sharp flint axe maybe I'm litterally destroying it. So I tried using a bow and have some success. Could be hoarding has slowed the respawning of meats.
Explore new areas and it seems good again.
This is a similar patten with a lot survivor games. Restart game or leave the areas for a bit.
Build more than base.

always drop, you need to search around as you may have missed it
I get one every time

Seems like you never ever leave meadows.
Because if you did, you'd have at least one chest full of resin and dwarf eyes.

They most assuredly do not always drop.

Yeah, I get more if I go into the black forests and stuff, but I've been focusing mostly on building. Maybe some people aren't in the meadows enough then?

For neck tails?
Seems like it.

Pretty sure I remember getting at least 1 neck tail per neck kill, extras for stars.

Yeah i don't get why they dont drop atleast 1 every time you kill em, it's like once i hit the neck with my mace their carcass just went tp the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shadow realm and not drop anything.

well with raw meat atleast there are deers and boars, while for the tail you can only rely on the neck and most often than not they're not dropping any.
