End Game
Hello!

I know I brought this up in a previous thread, but since I hit max level - finding missions that offer good rewards are very far and very few in-between :steamsad:

I'm often quitting and reloading to get a new set of missions, but the vast majority of the missions are <3 stars, offer <$4,000, and offer mostly Green/Blue items. Very rarely do I come across a 5-star mission where the rewards have just 1 purple quality item, much less having ALL purple quality item in the rewards. Is this possibly a bug when reaching Max Level?

I know you're working on the missions system for the next major update, and I don't mean to undervalue or underestimate the complexities of the engine / back-end logic - but is there a way you can at least make the better missions more common at Max Level as a quick fix??

I've ran probably 20 missions since reaching max level, and I haven't found a single Legendary (orange) quality item drop from an enemy or in any chests, where I was able to when playing the Demo. It actually seems like I was getting much better rewards when I was still Rank 4?

Again, I sincerely don't mean to complain or undervalue all the quality hard work you're doing. It's just a little frustrating, I hope you can understand :steamhappy:

Thank you so much for taking the time to read, and again for all your hard work!!

Hi NiGhTMaRE!

It's not a bug that 1-3* missions are still available. It's intended for situations where you die and lose all your equipment, you can take easier missions to rebuild your gear. Also the mission system is random, which is why you sometimes get a set of 4-5* missions, and other times not as many. I've just tested it myself and had a run of 4 high-star missions.

But we can see that the randomness can feel frustrating, especially in the late game. That’s why we're currently working on rebalancing the mission rewards to remove some of the randomness to improve the overall player experience.

As for high-end weapons, they’re more difficult to obtain now because they only drop from 5* missions. In the past, they could even drop from 1* missions, which wasn’t intended. So, while they may feel more rare now, they're meant to be the most powerful tier and shouldn’t be easily accessible.

However, since players can lose their gear upon death, we’re planning to tweak the system in the next update to make the rewards feel more balanced and satisfying. Please stay tuned for those changes!

Best regards,
The Shell Runner Team

Hi there!

Thanks so much for getting back to me! I completely understand the need for the lower-tier missions, losing all your gear when dying can be pretty devastating if you don't have a good bit of money/gear saved up,

Since I posted this discussion, I have come across some missions that offered purple items, and even one that offered a Legendary item! :steamlaughcry:

Unfortunately, it just seems like they're really far and few between those occurrences. I recorded a short video of my usual routine when starting up the game, I normally close re-open the game trying to find the missions that offer higher-tier weapons:

This is why I was curious about the possibility of a bug when being Max Level, but if it's random - I guess my luck just isn't too good haha. I'm really excited to see how the revamp works, until then I'll keep at it!

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and get back to me, and thank you for all you do! :steamhappy:
