I got the mantis during a drop at the Summit a couple of days ago. A partner killed a target inside one room. Before we left I noticed a red glow in the far side of the room. When I saw it was a mantis, I grabbed it right away. Now I have to see how this stacks against a nemesis
AFAIK missions and strongholds on Heroic difficulty have 10% chance to give you an exotic item on completion. Added: I remember how I once got Sweet Dreams and Sawyer's Kneepads dropped from last boss on non-invaded Federal Bunker mission. But nowadays such exotics from Heroics go straight into your inventory, as I recall.
I already invested roughly 10-20h time, openend 5-10 exotic caches.. farmed target loot areas... played missions on heroic with my buddies offering target loot "sniper".... nothing. really annoying ! I wish I could farm Mantis part after part as for example the Nemesis, even if it takes time too
Got lucky 🍀 in season 2, getting Mantis. Rewarded after completing Lv 55 and it was completely god rolled. Gonna try the Momento exotic backpack 🎒 currently, I am at 320.1% (providence backpack) headshot damage.
if it´s still possible to farm this beautiful sniper rifle called the Mantis -> still target farming the way to go, besides exotic cashes? Loot farming area for sniper -> go there to checkpoints and stuff? Summit works too? If one or both of this still works -> is "challenging" good to farm for the Mantis? I am still not strong enough to do heroic while I am solo. Sure I have a team, but I dont want to force them always follow my lead to find the Mantis. So if possible I want to find it solo by target area farming and cashes. How high is the drop chance if I play challenging? Or is it even worthless to try since no heroic world setting?
Not a fan of sniper rifles and yet got this from the weekly shd project and not only did I get this but it was also god rolled. I swear this game hates me sometimes.
Hunter's claws, part of the hunter's fury. you can get it after completing DC and going on to NY after defeating "Keener the massive idiot that went rogue because he's a man-child that goes angry when he don't get what he wants and that refering to that in DZ where the government refused to help infected people in DZ, they refused and he went rogue", you can get it on a random gear set drop.
