Class 10 weapons

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!

Class 10 weapons

Hi, I was just wondering, what kind of chance do you have of getting nomad gear per wave? Because I've been flying around in a titan in mp for a while killing nomads, and I've got nothing. Does location make a difference?
Also, why don't they make class 10 weps respawn on wrecks? WHY??? By the time you get a ship capable of mounting them, they've all been taken.
Ok... calm now .

Make sure you're level 34 or higher.
They drop at level 32 on occasion, but to be sure, you have to be lvl34 at least.
For every wave, you get at least one gun avg.

It had something to do with your net worth being at 1mil creds, or something. not sure about that one.

Edit: Damn spelling.

wait tell server restarts then hunt wrecks and get guns, after a while u will find out that nomads are better and easier to get

the only class10 that worth something are Cerebrus and Diamondback

but from a colector point of view I like all the class10 guns, specialy silver and wild fire, sometimes using nomads guns feels like cheating since your energy never goes down.

by the way, some class9 guns are almost good and even better from most class10 guns, like Werym Type 2 SkyBlast B and Salamanka MKII

Thanks for the replys, guys .
Yeah, I've discovered the beauty of the titan fully decked out with skyblasters. And that lvl 34 info is really handy, thanks.

Glad to be of service

No! It has nothing to do with level! I've gotten Nomads at level 27 (In a crappy Eagle).

There's approximately a 12.5% chance (1 in 8) of a Nomad dropping a weapon. That's 1 weapon per 2 waves (remember, this is random, not exact). There is a 1.5625% chance (1 in 64) of a Nomad dropping 2 weapons. That's 2 weapons per 16 waves (remember, this is random, not exact).

And about the level thing, I could be completely wrong, as I have seen no evidence. I am also probably completely wrong about the chance thing. Someone told me there's a 1 in 8 chance for weapon dropping of Nomads.

Viper, you're wrong. The chance increases with the rise of your level from level 32 (not likely but it has happened) to level 34 (drops around every 4 nomads)
It has to do with the networth, some wizkid figured that one out.

basically level 32 on an unpatched server level 34 on a patched one for nomads to drop
the best class 9 is the kraken2 from ruiz same damage (near enough)as the dbacks and cerberus but the other stats are better

The more money you have, the more guns you get. If you have $4000000 in the bank, you get a lot more drops than if you had $500000, even at level 38.

Okay, on a patched server, I HAVE gotten nomads with a Sabre level 29 with low networth (less than 600K). I am sure that you do not have to be more than level 30 (or whatever) to get nomads.

Post Tue Dec 16, 2003 11:42 pm

Well, in that case I was wrong as I cannot prove anything, just repeat what most people here say

The thing about getting Nomads more frequently at higher levels might be right, but there is no minimum level to get nomads. If someone took a look at the code and saw the formula for nomad weapon dropping, maybe then we'd have an unarguable answer...
