Xbox Live A few Questions about Survival?

[ChowYunFats]

O k here's my questions short and sweet 

1.) Does your Tier effect what you face in Survival or Caches you get for reward's from Survival

2.) Do we get the new weapon's from Survival or only Higher Tiers

That's about it 

Thanks

Does your Tier effect what you face in Survival

No, only character level. For example, level 30 players will see level 30-34 enemies (normal to elite/veteran/named etc).

or Caches you get for reward's from Survival

Yes, end rewards should scale according to your world tier that you open them in. 

Do we get the new weapon's from Survival or only Higher Tiers

All weapons/gear are available via any method in the game HOWEVER the % chance for the drops are scaled so, in Survival you have a higher chance of getting at least one of the new weapons (MDR) that I know of plus a successful Survival run gains you so many sealed caches potentially that %'s are in your favour as well. All Caches scale according to World Tier they are opened in.

at least one of the new weapons (MDR)

It was my understanding that the MDR was a 2nd DLC item and only available in Survival.  That being said, I haven't seen anything definitive on that.

Yup, that's pretty much what I was saying. Observational evidence suggests its a Survival ONLY item but of course, nothing official from Massive. 

Likelihood is that it just has a far better weighting for Survival caches over drop rate in any other task.
