Bug Fixes

Changes Explained

Raw Materials Drop Rate

As part of our continued efforts through beta to finding the right balance in the newly released content, specifically the crafting of drone parts to assemble a Tactical Drone, we have made a few rounds of tweaks to the raw materials drop rate and blueprints costs over the month.

We believe these changes have helped boost the drop rate of all other raw materials by reducing scrap metal’s drop rate, while increasing the Nanoforge cost accordingly to keep things in balance. Gone are the days of simply finding Scrap Metal all of the time and feeling discouraged!
