The location of the breach in the level can be either good or bad. It could be in a wide-open area or a narrow corridor.

The number of monsters spawned is random
The composition of monsters spawned can be good or bad (more rares or not)
The hidden breach chests are spawned randomly
Breachlords can spawn randomly during the right
The splinters dropped have a large random element

Hey there! What level is your character? Are you able to access your hideout through the map at the waypoint? There should be a small blue pin in the corner of the world map when viewed from the waypoint, which when clicked takes you to your hideout. :)

Logged out in hideout, now everything is gone

Betrayal Cloak missing!

One of the challenges of working on the internet is you have a small group of people who think it’s alright to harass you and then you have another group of people telling you that any success you might have is as a result of people’s desire to harass you.

Speaking of #CommunityManagerAppreciationDay - I am beyond excited to go to work today because my fellow Community Manager, Natalia, is back! We haven’t seen each other in five weeks. She makes every day better and I honestly couldn’t imagine Grinding Gear Games without her.
