We just tried solo offline. My wife played normal short game, beat the boss got a woodland skin, played a second map, beat the boss, nothing. I played Hard short game, got killed on wave 4 first game, nothing, killed by boss second game, nothing.

Maybe it's my game stopping the drops somehow, strange nobody on my server gets drops and I don't get them in solo either?

To my knowledge the drop rate is working as intended. The team will be tweaking and changing it as things move forward and we receive feedback on the system.

Is not receiving dropped items into our inventories working as intended? Are you able to confirm if that problem has been fixed with the latest patch? There are plenty of people reporting the problem (including myself), but so far I haven't seen any feedback from TI about it.

Thanks.

I got 1 drop (Green Headband), from a solo game. Nothing since.

I played with my friends a few hours a day since the release, some more, some less, they got nothing so far. None of them have played solo, and honestly, they shouldn't have to.

On top of it all, I do not think this is a rewarding enough system if this works as intended, why have it, if you cannot get a item now and then (Read: 1-3 games). Not everyone play alot of hours at a time, and I am pretty sure they'll play less if they never get anything.

I hope it's bugged, since this is underwhelming and disappointing.

Agree completely. I've received nothing via drops since the update went live. Even TF2 drops items more frequently. Hope to see some tweakage.

If what people are saying is true about the really low drop rates (I don't play very often), then I do agree it needs to be upped significantly.

Got my drop on thursday, right after the update (solo). Played 20+ hours with a friend since then. No drops for me or him. And STILL there is this shift+tab/duplicate bug!!!

And guys check the market! The number of items is the same like five days ago! You have your 40 standard headbands, 33 woodland skins etc. Only the crate/usb number raised! Nobody is getting drops but there are fresh crates and usbs on the market... hmm... Mby we're all just unlucky?!:)

We are looking into reports that people are still seeing phantom drops.

I don't understand how that's possible. I haven't gotten one drop since the update and I've played quite a lot.

Just got another phantom drop (Woodland SCAR | Mint).

Loving the newest patches though, the 1911 sounds like an actual gun now, not like my airsoft pistol.

There are definitely still phantom drops. While in the after action report if I switch to the steam overlay and back it will always trigger one. I've been able to replicate this a dozen or so times.

Playing a quick 4-wave solo game on normal seems to trigger a drop after playing loads of games. My friend just did this and got his first drop. I did the same on Saturday. So Id suggest this, until they decide to tweak their algorithm.

I played tons of multiplayer games, never found a thing. Read somewhere on the forums to try playing a solo game, killing a few things and dying. So I started a 10 wave solo game, normal difficulty on outpost. On wave 4 I left the last Slasher alive and let him kill me, and in the after action report part I saw that I had found a Horzine USB thing. I bought a key and got some crappy battle-scarred 9mm pistol, but the point is that I finally found something after so long just by dying a few waves into a normal solo match. Working as intended, I think not.

Killing Floor 2 is f2p this weekend, so the free loaders can flood the market with items to really milk the owners of the game.

"Working as intended" indeed.

I can understand the frustration but it's not like you have to buy them. If you pay $500 for a katana skin or whatever that's on you son.

Man, I hope I get a katana skin. When the Martial Artist releases, there's gonna be so much demand, some fool will give me some serious cash for one.

Right? I really can't justify spending a lot of money on KF cosmetics. Some games make me actively want to look unique, but KF is about guns and killing everything that moves.

Man, I wouldn't even mind a phantom drop at this point.
Nothing since the update, and I've played at *least* a couple matches every day.
Me = :(
