I can't understand why people are losing their minds over a couple of legendaries. No you cannot gain them by the normal looting way and it's a huge mystery for everyone. Have fun trying to figure out any possible easter egg steps that you have to complete in order to be able to loot these new weapons and so on.
I do agree to a extend that some kind of hints / steps have to be given out for us to get started somewhere. Being a COD Zombies Easter Egg solver myself I can tell you me and many others always had something to start with. Maybe the clue is closer to us than we know but we're just looking beyond that point? Maybe it's literally infront of us but we're just not batting a eye to it? Maybe the developers / TLOPO staff want us to actually go on and search for any clues / hints / steps that may lead to the way of looting the new legendaries?
I honestly wouldn't know myself. Maybe there's no steps or anything after all and it's just RNG like we're used to but we still have to figure out the new technique.
If several people already have one of the new legendaries then they are obviously doing something right. They are not obliged to let anyone know that they found any of the new legendaries nor does it in any way create a'unfair advantage' feel over others. They are just lucky and that's all.
Now I don't want to take any shots at you either but if you ( or anyone else for the matter ) find it greatly hurtful that there may be a few people out there already walking around with the new legendaries and you're not because you're having this 'unfair advantage' feeling since you and/or nobody else have figured out how to get them yet then it rather sounds like a 'They have the new legendaries and I do not so there is a problem!' cry which makes me think that this is affecting you on a personal level.
Any drama over this is caused by the player(s) who don't have the new weapons and them saying 'Oh it's so unfair!' is most likely just because of jealousy.
Sure the rewards of this new technique is RNG. It's not like this new technique will imediately award you with one of the six new legendaries. Nobody knows anything about this technique so far because nobody so far have figured anything out. We as a community have to find out about this together and maybe we will know rather soon than never.
The only thing that we can do at this point is to keep searching further and maybe we will come across anything soon? Maybe a hint or two that will give us a direction or a start to begin with? Only time will tell!
So who is dentface and why should his word hold any weight? And is this so called 'new loot technique quoted from the DEV's or just another player? There's a lot of speculation being thrown around as if it's factual substantiated information.
Me, I think you all are just over thinking a simple upgrade with some items thrown in. And why only swords/blades.
And a lot of speculation is second hand as well.
