(Proviso: I have seen the recent post about loot changes incoming on 27th Feb and will aim to repeat this test when the patch drops if possible https://www.reddit.com/r/AnthemTheGame/comments/av7s12/the_man_has_spoken/)
Test: Kill 100 Ursix using 3 different luck % setups:
- Not over 100%
- Way above 100%
- 0%
I wanted to test out a few of the theories about luck, namely - "You don't wanna go over 100%", "Luck has no affect at all" and "You should use as much as possible!!!!". So I put together a test based on 100 kills of the same enemy at GM1, here are the results.
Not over 100%

Way above 100%

0%

Data pool isn't huge but some indications from these results:
- Luck% seems to affect the number of lower tiered items that drop (white, green, blue, purple) and the total amount of higher tiered items that drop (orange, yellow)
- Using way over 100% luck had a lower total yield of higher tiered items than results from using below 100%
- Luck is not required to have a chance at dropping Legendaries
- Below 100% had the most lucrative results
Hope these results help in our mission to figure out wtf luck actually does and look forward to reading your thoughts.
