Any recommendations on mobs for Adrienne?

 

[ShadowDragonV]

I've gotten parts from all the mobs while the mission is active. (well haven't hunted the prototypes much)

Any recommendations on mobs for Adrienne?

Personally I've gotten the best drop rate from mobs closest to the appropriate level for the weapons I use. L60ish OTIS & FURY for Songrka + Trauma Amp 5, etc.

Everyone seems to have wildly different success with getting the parts to drop, so good luck on your quest too!

What are these parts used for? I have upgraded my laptop to the max.

 

[ShadowDragonV]

These parts are used in the in upgrading of the armour as one method of getting the new parts, the other way is through a mining mission.

There is also a crossover mission that requires broken parts, but have parts that need to be collected during active mission.

Can verify that 2 hour timer to pick parts does indeed run while logged out as does cooldown period. There may be a few minute delay in everything resetting when you log back in.

Heads Up ... as mentioned in the Nov 30th VU release notes, the picking missions were removed ... all required items can now be acquired in normal loot.

Thing is, the dialogue is still available, but at the end of the dialogue, it doesn't add the quest to your Tracked Missions. I'm going to make some edits regarding this info, but I want to chat with Ant and Kendra first to see what they have to say, and how this info should be presented so that it isn't confusing.
