The Dark Zone Proficiency Caches have a smaller chance to grant an Event Apparel Cache Key. It also is a random chance, so if you're unlucky you'll go some time without a key.

That's probably not going to happen. Outfits are put together as one item, which allows more freedom when designing them. Making them separate would probably decrease the ability to make them look as cool as they are now.

It doesn't check on duplicates, no. It's a gear piece per cache that should be around or above your Gear Score.

Funnily enough it's also some other shoes. Let's be honest, what's more tactical than invisibility? :P

I've let our apparel team know that something's borked here. Thanks for the screenshot!

The upgrade being available was meant to be automatic. We did not want to imply that you can automatically get 500 gear without doing anything.

We mentioned this as we talked about the changes since we explained that you will need to deconstruct 490 gear, so that fresh WT5 players wouldn't just be able to craft 500 when arriving there.

We're currently still looking to fix this issue and I don't have an update for you as of now. Some players have reported that re-playing Tidal Basin unlocked the upgrade for them.

Once we have a bug fix we'll let everybody know.

Missions are the source for exotics. Sorry if I worded that in a way that wasn't clear.

I can say it was an intended change. I haven't received an update on the philosophy behind it.

To clarify: Heroic missions. CPs are not part of the update.

Not to be contrary but I wouldn't wear that mask because I like sunglasses too much.

But I get your point, we have a lot of things that our players want and we'll see what we can do in future events.

Can't confirm either yet, I requested an update.

As you personally called me out here: Yeah, I think the stuff is awesome. I really like that we have more shorts now and that we have a hooded jacket.

As you said it's totally up to each and every person to have an opinion on the apparel, I just shared mine on State of the Game.

In terms of "we want x": It's definitely difficult to make something really everybody loves. We like the feedback that some players want more tactical stuff, more futuristic stuff and it'll definitely be part of conversations in the team that works on the apparel. No promises though, just to manage expectations.

Still, I think Heat Wave is awesome. :)

We're always looking for qualified people. You can find all job openings here.

In case it wasn't clear with what I meant with looking at: We'll find out why this has disappeared, if it was on purpose and if we can bring it back. :)

Hey! Can you give us some more details on this? We're unable to reproduce this so the more things you can tell us the better.

• When does this occur?
• How often does this occur?
• Is this connected with rain?
• Can you force this to happen (e.g. whenever I do X it causes Y)?

Thanks!

We're looking into it.

We're looking into the defender drone in the ODZ, thanks for the report and sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks for the video. I'll bring it up with the dev team.

Hey. Thanks for the feedback. As lexaran pointed out in the top comment, we are unable to fix this issue as the data from these characters was lost. We want to introduce a better version of the barber which would allow you to fully re-customize your agent. I don't have an update on the status unfortunately.

We had mentioned this the first time the bug appeared and we fixed the underlying issue causing it but it's definitely worth repeating, thanks!

Sorry if you thought I'm implying a user error, that's not what I'm suggesting. We're trying to figure out what is causing it and how it's preventing players from upgrading. Therefore a screenshot is just helpful and my advise was more meant to clarify the steps to ensure we're not talking about separate things.

Thanks for helping!

Ok, thanks for the clarification. A picture will definitely help then. To confirm the steps: When you finish Tidal Basin and reach WT5 you have to manually upgrade the work bench to allow crafting to 490 and once you've acquired that update another, new option will be available. This will then allow you to craft Gear Score 500 items, but you have to use some high-level items to get there.

Can you try logging out and back in? Just to make sure, you are at World Tier 5, right?
