Helo drop

[yorky55]

I'm trying to find out if you need a season pass to get the Helo drops or if you need a certain gear score ? Any help would be good thanks.

The drops outside of the darkzone are for Season Pass owners only.  I believe the ones in the darkzone are for everyone.

This is correct.  The ones outside of the DZ come twice a month for each toon a season pass owner has. The first one has to be picked up in-game between the 1st and the 14th of the month and the second between the 15th and the last day of the month (by each toon).  

If you don't pick up your start of the month supply drop before the 15th, you lose it and the same is with the end of month one needing to be picked up before the last day of the month.  

Each drop is typically 1 gear set piece and 2 weapons.  I'm not sure if they're guaranteed level or based on your GS, but I get a 268 set piece and 2x 229 weapons.

I've gotten a drop with two 268 set pieces and one 229 weapon, as well as one with two 229 weapons and a 229 gear piece, but 1 268 gear set piece and two 229 weapons seems to be the configuration I see the most often.  There are also 15 Phoenix credits in the box.

Good to know they mix them up, I think out of like 8 supply drops I've received one that was 3x HE items and no gear pieces.  I've yet to get one with 2x gear pieces.

And this month I just got TWO 268 Alpha Bridge HOLSTERS! 

Same drop...two holsters, same gear set...come'on RNG!

Well, maybe RNGesus will help you out when 1.4 rerolls all of our gear.

Sure hope so as currently its like rolling consecutive double craps.

Is one of them at least decent?  Silver lining is that you have your pick, I guess. :14_relaxed:

They're both decent but I don't have enough Alpha Bridge to make changing Gear Set viable just yet based on other items I run with as I use a high electronics and stack with First Aid/ Defib, Healing/Life support station, Recovery Link etc. Pretty useful when running underground with players 20+ GS points below me. Having extra medical kits is less useful at the moment balanced against being able to Res multiple downed characters. 

With 1.4 I may toy with a Lone Star build again anyway.

AB is dropping the +2 med kits and getting something from deferent for 2x bonus after 1.4, but I don't remember what it is.  

UPDATE: Here's the changes

Set Bonus (2): +100%Health Regen

Set Bonus (3): +5% Weapon Damage

Set Bonus (4): Talent | AlphaBridge If your Primary and Secondary Weapon is of the same category, they both gain all of the unique active talents.

So, the +100% regent would fit right into your build.

I was planning on keeping anyway... just need another item of AB...seeing as the game has seen fit to only give me these bits (of 268 AB) and they're the same gear item. lol! Time to keep on playing!

It took me about a month (and getting a piece from a friend) just to get 4x AB for my main.
