As a somewhat new player, I’m a bit frustrated with Nightmare mode and the mod drops. They seem to not match the reward tables.
Generally this happens when I run a mission, I’m trying to go for tier 3 (hard 30+) mods, and I get something that I don’t expect.
I’ve started keeping track of the missions and their levels and the rewards, here’s some data:
- Planet: Mercury
Level: <20
Type: –
Drop: Wildfire
Tier: 1
- Planet: Venus
Level: <20
Type: –
Drop: Accelerated Blast
Tier: 1
- Planet: Earth
Level: <20
Type: –
Drop: Accelerated Blast
Tier: 1
- Planet: Phobos
Level: 20-22
Type: –
Drop: Seeking Fury
Tier: 2
- Planet: Uranus
Level: 34-39
Type: Survival (5 mins)
Drop: Vigor
Tier: 3
- Planet: Void
Level: 40+
Type: Capture
Drop: Fortitude
Tier: 2
- Planet: Neptune
Level: 38-40
Type: Rescue
Drop: Wildfire
Tier: 1
Already in this more recent data there are two examples of times I should have received tier 3 rewards but only got a lower tier. After receiving Vigor, I thought tracking the mission type might help also. Perhaps this factors into the difficulty somehow? But I don’t think the wiki mentions anything about mission type as a factor.
Has anyone else experienced this? Am I just doing something wrong?
