Trouble getting Nomad guns

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Trouble getting Nomad guns

Hi, I'm having trouble getting the Nomads to drop their guns on single player game. I've shot at least 50 of them after the SP missions, but none of them drop weapons, after they're killed.

Any help appreciated, thanx

You must be at least level 32 before they drop.

if ur level is higher they drop more frequently...

the best drops r made when ur with a group hunting inside the unknown after gamma and a few (or all) r lev 38.

i had it 1 time... roam around with another inside the unknown... he had 6 blasters and 4 cannons, and i had about 10 blasters and 11 cannons... just for looking in the edges of the system...

it's only weakness is that u can't get a lot off money that way ... 4k for a nomad weap... i selled some for 25k to another player

but why going for nomad weaps??? with 2 shield killers, 2 high speed flak cannons and 2 cannonball missile launchers and look... firework and for the extra work a sunslayer torp launcher for more fun...

If u c some1 in a defender make fireballs from hunter it can be me

The more your worth, the more of a chance you will get nomad weapons

For cash, I love hunting Outcasts... go on a safari in the Omicron Alpha system, come back with a load of 20 or so $16,000 guns to sell... sweet. And, to top it all off, I help my rep with all of the many people who hate Outcasts.

If you can't read this, then you're probably illiterate and have no idea what I'm saying anyway.

a footnote to the l32 requirement which is 100% correct sp
if you try the mp version of the game it goes up to l34 since the server patch

Levels below 30 can get the weapons too. I havent tried going alone to hit nomads but i've tried going in group of 2. I got the guns to drop out very easily. Out of 2 squadrons, at least 2-3 guns were dropped. but unfortunately none dropped lasers.

Lasers are rumored to be the best are they? hitting 1000+ damage on shields and hull. woah!. btw can someone post the stats for codename guns? thanks

@Tixor

Lasers are only available if you mod. Check out the download archive for some very
good spreadsheets on weapon stats. Also DL Lancerthing 1.07

Even at max level 38. I find they drop 1 gun to 5 kills. sp.
