Is salvage really all that random?
Or other factors involved to get, retrieve salvage?
I swear in my first try out character, I was getting some
nice stuff from the cal's.
Now that I am full Gal, I get nuttin but scribblins.
Is it me, or maybe a little more to it?
Help me obewan |

It is completely random. They did tone it down for uprising though, and even removed some items (suits). So now were you would have gotten 5 of a salvaged item you instead get 2 or 3. |

It is random but I'm starting to think there might be a hidden "luck" stat we have no control over. My ALT gets salvage like mad while afking in the mcc yet my main (with about 15 mil SP) and tons of games played has only ever got 3 thales... ever. Kinda makes me think it would be cool if there was a salvage skill you could train to increase the probability of officer weapons and such.. |

the salvage system is probably the least understood system in dust, all that is known is that the number of items given out has been reduced to the 1-3 range, that it has a sense of irony (vehicle users getting gastun forges etc), and it doesn't give out vehicles anymore.
oh and salvage in pc matches come from the other teams gear. |

Supposedly.
Though, I have a theory that the longer you stand idle in certain spots of the map, the more Salvage you get. Also, doing certain actions seem to get me some rather specific results.
I.E if I kill an LAV with an HMG I tend to get Forge guns and AV grenades.
If I kill with an SMG I tend to get AR's.
If I shoot at vehicles with my AR I tend to get Swarm Launchers.
I am not sure if this is all coincidence or a hidden game mechanism. Though it is interesting and that is undeniable. |

Purely coincidence. I used to think there was some rhyme or reason to it and I've tested maaany scenarios with my alt. While I agree with you that my ALT gets tons more salvage than my main and all my ALT does is stare at the wall in the MCC, I doubt standing in place gives more salvage. I also used to think it was dependent on what weapon I had equipped but several tests have yielded mixed results. I believe it truly is random but that certain characters are more likely to get certain salvage by some as of now unknown variable.
All I can say is I NEVER snipe and I've only ever gotten 3 thales since launch. Does this mean something? I don't know.... |

I have 20-30 of every officer weapon, but I don't use anything, but AR's, SMG's, and SCR's. I have the least of the Cala's SMG's and Balac's/Krin's AR's, even though I never use them... But of course I have 40 Thales.....
Who says you can't kill in style?

My first character, I received plenty of officer weapons, Thales, I had like 10 ish.
and this was my just starting character, being a newberry out in the field.
Now with a my 1.5+ mil SP scout build, I get a few grenades here and there, a shotty, a SMG,
no more sniper rifles :( , not one Thale.
The salavage roulette random generator is not all that random...
If it is, the generator is clearly taking some information into consideration. |
