Just used the badge components and frags from the update gift... initial thoughts.... I used all epic pieces and received a rare badge. This sucks. The badge should not be able to have a lower value than the components. As far as the concept and what it brings to the game I like it. But the way the rarity is calculated needs changing asap
I had $200,000 Gold. I don't care about my gold, so I spammed the badge/component store. I think I picked up legendary badge pieces. Crazy assortment of stuff.... What great sorcery is this?
Unfortunately I need to take a short hiatus from game (not because of game, just real-life issues), but hope to return and craft more stuff laters in future. Happy hunting everyone!
Initially, it looks like component drops are VERY infrequent. I've seen one uncommon. Why do I get the feeling NG just released a ton of new unicorns into the game?
Apologies if this was answered in one of the pre-update threads: are there any better chances for finding components in the gear scavenge than in the other mission types?
•There needs to be a component scavenge mission. •Badge rarity should NEVER be lower than component rarity. If for example, you combine all epic components, the badge created should be epic or legendary. Rare shouldn't be an option.
Just a word of advice: I would wait before equipping badges to survivors (particularly if you are FTP and/or low on gold). I know that new/shiny/exciting badges will be tempting to equip as soon as you craft them, but given the set bonuses that can activate when you equip 4 badges within the same set, it makes sense wait until you've done a lot of crafting so you can more carefully plan out what you want to equip to whom, based on badge bonuses, survivor and gear traits, and how you use those survivors.
If you have @Movado levels of gold, then plz disregard this post.

This is exactly why I've left my two badges unequipped for now. I'll await some more detailed analysis before equipping any of them.

What determines badge shape to make a set? Does it just fill them out in order or is it randomized?

Maybe you have to have a survivor with that trait first before it recognizes it? Idk

Or did you try different combinations?
Just burnt through 25 gas on scavenge missions and got a single 1 star metal component.
