Jostabeere Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 So I started playing SE in Singleplayer some times ago. And I would like to know. Is it just my insane luck, did I change any .ini without knowing it, or are the beacon drops so much better in comparsion to The Island? Purple, Yellow and Red beacons actually give a lot of BPs, Actual items like weapons, tools, wind generators and so on. Not a poopty Crop Plot and compass BP. Almost everya beacon has pretty good loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nim Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Before the double drop yellow ring things, flamethrower ammo bp and such were getting out of hand, just like compass and water jar and medium crop plot bps on the Island. After that it was increased a bit as far as usefulness of rewards, and now Scorched drop loot tables were increased even further in update 254. I believe loot tables for drops on the Island must also have been increased, as I found a jman longneck rifle bp in a double yellow drop just a few days ago. That was completely unheard of previously, and the only way to get longneck rifle bps was in caves or ocean drops. Something must have changed. I definitely think the Island drops could be improved in less expensive ways though, something as simple as including the occasional metal tools or stone building supplies would be very good.

Administrator Jatheish Posted March 28, 2017 Administrator Share Posted March 28, 2017 Scorched Earth is a tougher map so the loot crates should be a little bit more rewarding, we also made some changes to them fairly recently (which should be on all platforms by now). Still plan to making changes to the Island, but it's not high-priority. Though it's funny.. you'd think the desert would offer Survivors more water jars, eh?

redastrayfreedom Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Drops are way better in SE. I got an ASC saddle bp the other day in a blue drop. As other have said the beacons with the ring around them I have found give you a chance of better drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onimusha759 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 This there anyway to tell if its a ring drop from a distance? I constantly farm yellow and red drops hoping for a longneck because without an upgraded version of the longneck u might as well stick with a normal crossbow. Crossbow has way higher dps for torpor and the longnecks require an unrealistic cost in narcos. 3x the drug for a 1.5x gain and a reload time that takes twice as long...Doesn't feel lik an upgrade...

You can see the ring from some distance, but it's hard to tell because the light from the beacon over shines it. For the longneck: They are extremely important for taming because they do way less damage for the torpor than the crossbow. There are dinos with a high chance to die, if you use a crossbow but 0% chance if you use a longneck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onimusha759 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Ya ik theres a few out there lik that, but they often small and can b bolaed and clubed or slinged. I prefer my longneck but the narco rip off and torpor dps suck. Thn theres no bio toxin on SE so u cant get the shock dart hurts it even more. Usually if i kill sumthing with my bow i just blow it off as it being 1 that has its points allocated poorly and wasnt worth taming anyways lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On breeding you want most levels allocated in only one stat. The low HP dino you killed could have a very high damage stat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
