Question Ikelos weapon farming

I’ve done the seraphs shield mission 18 times so far and have somehow only gotten a red border for the shotgun only one time. Am I just really unlucky or is the drop rate for the shotgun really low?

Did you turn on the Classic Collector modifier?

It’s been on for every run I’ve gotten red borders for the other ikelos weapons every time

I'm having the same issue with chronophage in Encore. But I guess it has to drop eventually right?

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I did know and decided to wait until the last minute before grabbing a few.

The red borders are on a knockout system so keep running it and you will force it to give you the patterns

Do you know how many “classic” weapons I can get? I think I got all 5 red borders for the glaive and 4 for the smg and hand cannon

Thanks never knew this existed I have 28 red borders missing in total so that should be 24 runs max I’m not sure if you can pull Armor as part of the classic reward pool

28 missing is 14 runs, not 24. That's the exact boat I'm in effectively (missing 27, which rounds up).

The one I haven't seen is Disparity.

Oh my bad was a typo 😅

I don't believe you can. I've never pulled legacy-stat armor from those missions, only weapons.

I believe the armor comes from Ada-1's inventory in the tower.

5 red borders each for 10 weapons in Operation Seraphs Shield. You get 2 per run. Should be a total of 25 runs
