Ok. So probably on a 90% rate on all my hvt and hrt mission so far,they have been lone star. WHY....... I don't get why the rate is so high how horrible the roll is on the weapons that have dropped lately. Why are they pushing this set so much more when lmg suck even with the 1k damage buff. And it's not that huge for shotguns. Please does some have an answer to this stupidly thought out way to make us switch from smg....

Every activity in the game has a certain Gear Set that is the "primary" drop for that activity.  There's always the chance for others, but the highest chance goes to a certain Gear Set.  HVT = Lone Star.  I believe Clear Sky is Predator's Mark.  Dark Zone is Final Measure if I'm not mistaken.  Falcon Lost I believe is Hunter's Faith.  But all 8 Gear Sets are possible in every scenario.. it's just significantly lower for each.  Whenever they released the new Loot System they were saying that they wanted to make it possible for anyone to get any item by doing whatever activity they wanted to do.. So it would be possible, but it just may take longer to acquire.

 
Why do they need a "primary" drop for different activities? Why not just make it equal chances?

I'm sure it has something to do with "forcing" you to play all of the different activities without actually forcing you.. Kind of like Critical Safehouses for the Intel Tokens.  It doesn't force you to do those Critical Safehouses that move you all around the map, but you know that it's there and it gives you double the drop so you're more likely to do it.

 
Thanks for the replies and info. Still a crap looting system specially because hvt and hrt are new but for everyone and should be a open roll for any set. 

 
Lone star x4 + predator's mark x2 + shotty x3 = beast... at least I'm hoping.  

The +20% optimal range and 3 shottys (w/ the sawed off sidearm) that reload when you holster them means you can send a lot of lead down range.  And since you have 2x the ammo and don't have to put any mods for reload speed and maybe even stability, you can pump them full of crit chance and damage to wreck kids.  That and they do an extra 1k DMG.

Yeah, think this is the main reason. Players are being none to subtly pushed to take part in more co-operative or dark zone activities by forcing a limit on what gear sets drop and their level.  

 
I guess ammo shortage is more relevant to hvt than missions or dk.

Though, if players are not inclined to do HVT because they're not interested in Lone Star gear, it might be too aligned to that gear

 
I've done all the dailies, all the weeklies and Lexington 10 times on Challenging this morning. Only twice did I have anything other than Lonestar drop. I ended up giving half of it away. 

 
I plan to use a bunch of it for my all shotty build, but she's only like lvl 10 so I've got a way to go before I need set pieces.

Clear sky is for both predators mark and hunters faith, but I think we are making a bigger deal out of this that it has to be. these are only the mission drops that are coded like this same for in the dark zone how you can get any gear set from a sealed cache but only get a certain set from other activities in the DZ(unsure on specifics).

Someone pointed out on another thread that there's optimal range mods so that could be boosted beyond the +20%, can you say sniper shottys?

 
I do! Going to open my own Big Lots store. Lone star for support stations... Got it, lone star for ballistic shields, got it. If you need lone star gear, just invite me to group run some weeklies, I'll probably be able to get you what your looking for.

 
Go to the DZ and get all the sets in glorious abundance.. though sadly Nomad seems to be the winner of choice there.

 
Todays rewards for HVT's are ... 

Egg and bacon

Egg, sausage and bacon

Egg and Lone Star
