Drop Rate Speculation

This is why I don't gamble. You might win a little but in the end the house wins more. TWI need to make all cosmetics purchasable in the in-game store and not on the Steam Market.
At this point I would rather see bundles and pay $7.99 for multiple things when really all I want is one item out of the pack vs spending $3 for a key and get nothing I want or pay some jackass $5+ USD for one item. There are items on Steam Market that are in the $300's. That is just purely asinine.

I will sell this mask for 20 and buy Ark Survival Evolved and probably never touch KF2 again. And I will stop my server aswell and start an ARK server.

Good game, I have it and love it. It is in EA and seems to have updates at least two or three times a week. Smaller updates but constant optimization and new dinos to the world all the time. I kinda with TWI would take notes on some of that. Smaller updates more often so the fans can see constant work being put into the game. They have been better hitting it good with the hotfixes lately and hope this continues with the addition of content when they can squeeze it in.

As for KF2 I still really enjoy the game but if TWI wants my money (other than buying the game in the first place)they are going to have to make their Zed-conomy more oriented towards the players not the gamble and money to be made. Give your fans what they want and the money will still come in. Probable even better because then people get what they want and will spend the money to begin with.

Wait... 70 euro, not .70 euro. You spent 76 USD on a mask? I hope I was misinterpreting that.

I've gotta say though, I thought my OCD would be killing me about this whole thing, but I think I have to thank tripewire for making this Great ZEDpression such a joke, I literally have no desire to buy or get anything else. I don't think I've ever had this happen to me in a game with collectible loot in 20+ years of gaming.

I got a mask that had 2 deals for 70 euro and is sold right now for as much. ... this one

http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/232090/Devtac Ballistic Mask | Black

But I don't want any of this.

I want to pay for something and get it. I don't want to pay for something and get more money back - I dont want to pay for something and wait for another thing to drop by chance in order to have chance to get what I want.

Yes I got "profit" and for some kid out there this will be the hit of his life. But I am no kid, I have enough money I want to have fun in the video games I play - not have to deal with all that. The cosmetics are content optional or no and this content is cut from the game and offered as separate packages - TWI at least have the decency to sell the backages themselves and not this.

As much as I wanted for this to happen I can now see why people are opposing this so much. I changed my review of the game to negative and will buy probably BO3 and play the zombies there or ARK survival evolved or anything that is clear and easy and offers me 100% of the content. I pay for the game I pay for the Season pass and I will own everything and just play and enjoy .... unfortunately this is something I cant state for Killing Floor 2 ...

I think it was that ballistic mask, but I saw a guy in-game last night with a mask like that with glowing purple eyes. I asked him how much he paid for it and he said over $200. I just laughed at him in chat and walked away, at least he was competent as a medic. In comparison, I spent about $6 to open the same crate his mask came from and got a sweet pair of aviators I can probably sell for $20-40 after the 1 week cooldown. At least I hope some gullible moron will pay that price.

What's this? 40 hours played since update and no drops.
I need my electroswag fix.

The only way I was able to get a drop was to start a solo match, 10 waves, normal difficulty on Outpost. The map, wavelength and difficulty probably don't matter but might as well try it just to be safe. I fought through 4 waves, then let the last clot kill me. I found a USB stick. First thing I found since the update and it was from dying in a solo game. Lots of people have reported this same experience for whatever reason.

Ok guys, literally right after I typed that post I tried the same strategy again, dying on wave 4 of outpost to the last zed, and I found ANOTHER usb, and it WASN'T a phantom drop! I think I've found a reliable way to farm usbs.

Jesus TWI ... what have you guys done? I hope this game gets quicker updates from people blowing $200 on decent looking cosmetics. I have tried to be understanding with the development time this game is taking, but this schedule is just too damn slow.

Didnt work for me though

I read somewhere that there's a specific "win amount" you need to get a drop, where once you win or play enough games you reach the threshold, and once you're there you can go to solo and claim your prize. That's what I've gathered, although no one really knows how the system works in detail as Tripwire hasn't revealed the specifics.

This is just the system as I understand it: a few hours of gameplay and some wins in multiplayer = a drop waiting for you in offline. That's my experience so far, and I've found 2 usb sticks this week, so the drop rate is either more than 1 per week, or the drop thing resets on Saturday/Sunday/Monday.

Most of us got the two drops already. If I understood you correctly these were your first drops after update. Next drop will be available on Thursday again (3rd).

Didn't work for me as well. Guess It's that win/lose system you were talking about which takes role. I've been kinda unlucky these days, due to the Free weekend. A lot of losses heh

It really is a shame that TWI is doing a 'me too!' economy thing, was the reason I really stopped playing TF2, didn't really play enough CS:GO after it came out so never got to see their system but really, this system is just so horrible, you would think they would release it with HIGHER drop rates and drop it down to balance instead of the near no drop rates and not even touch the damn thing.

If you guys read the latest patch notes, you'll see that it was a bug all along. Most players were unable to get drops in multiplayer but still could in solo. I recommend you all try winning a couple online matches tonight.
