This raises the question: where do the rates stand now? While they have been scaled back from their peak, they are still more favorable than the old baseline. This should alleviate the frustration for players hunting specific weapons who have previously struggled with poor luck or limited session time.
Player reactions have been swift. “Even with the rates being absurdly high, I still couldn’t find a Tempest blueprint after four weeks of grinding night raids,” noted one Reddit user. Another chimed in with a laugh: “We all knew it was too good to be true!”
Other players highlighted the importance of these rates for the Expedition system, where Raiders can reset their progress to start fresh. With the feature’s popularity, many are eager to rebuild their characters quickly to test out new playstyles and secure different rewards without an endless grind.
Embark Studios is currently walking a fine line, attempting to balance meaningful progression without making the hunt for gear feel like a chore. Whether this latest adjustment strikes the right chord remains to be seen. If you’re still chasing that elusive legendary schematic, there’s no better time than the present to dive back in.
