Has the drop rate been upped since the last patch, i haven't heard a definative yay or nay. I'm pretty much ready to roll with the other parts, what is/was the drop rate like?? Worth me and my mates hunting em?

I haven't heard of anyone looting or selling them since the patch. Some have claimed over 100 kills without a drop. To answer your question, it doesn't look like the drop rate was changed at all. Actually, there seem to be less of them around.

On my server your still looking at 40Milfor a full suit. I would like the cost to be able to come down to about 10Mil at least. That will still keep it somewhat rare. But still availible to a larger part of the community,

4 GDKs later I got another 8.
So 6 sets totalling 32 Scales from 40 GDKs.
I can see why I would be one starred by the way, but seriously, something in this game has to remain rare and hard to obtain
Nerf GDK Drops!

You must be some hardcore killers! You make killing a GDK sound like wiping out Meatlumps. Maybe to loot rate is where it is to compete with the new faction armor?

Lol yeah. I killed 16 GDK last night and got a drop of 4 from the last. Haven't seen a singleGDK today so far on my server. 
Lot of people on Lok right now though, so they just may be being killed off before I find them.

To be honest with decent armour (80% Kinetic), buffs and Pikeman toughness I was tanking 3 at a time at one point and they were hardly able to damage me (except plague strike ofc, but with buffs thats doesn't matter). The Rifleman is then free to SS2 them quite comfortably.
Listening to a few of these replies we maybe have been a bit lucky, but I know a LOT of GDK Scales have been looted in the past few days on Eclipse compared to the past few months at least.

I think they should decrease the drop rate. Well on eclipse at least. Loads of people with R.I.S armor now and full suits. Before it was considered a rare thing to have R.I.S and people would ask what that armor was if they saw someone with it, but now it is fairly common.
Fair enough that they increased the spawn time. But they shouldnt have made them drop soo many scales at a time.
The only other rare object in the game I can think of now that people use is the NSEL. But no doubt they will increase the drop rate of that from the queen or make her spawn more often
Apart from mando armor of course

most definetly, there are more drops than before. i've been talking to the other teams hunting on my server. i know one team got 10 scales in a couple of buff sessions.
i seriously doubt, you'll keep up that high loot %, like i said..good job as you were lucky. hehe 
p.s.
wish i was lucky lol

Finding that many GDK's in that short of time is rare. Unless you are using the 200m trick *cough*exploit*cough* so technically it would still be rare. I was going to go hunt some tonight. Hopefully they are dropping like that on my server.

Not sure what you mean by that, but no....no exploiting to get more spawns (?!?). There was a lot of them around tho, at one point we even found 3 spawns withing a few hundred meters of each other. As I said, increased spawn rates and drop rates.

Yeah, I'll second that. Found 2 spawns within 225 meters of each other, last night.
