I've been hunting WB for most of the night and accumulated 58 good parts from WB mainly rares and the occational VCH 10 or high imp and was noticing a pattern or maybe just a great coincidence for me.
Went to J_02 where its nice and empty and fairly constant spawn rate for WB. Seemed that the longer the kill was from the time of actual spawn plus the amt of time to hack with amt of extra hack connections (these are the ones over the designated password lenth) equals better loot. So I decided to tinker around with it a bit.
A:)Taking on 3 WB that spawned at near the same time and killing and getting each health to near nothing, w/ only 1 or 2 hits left to kill to try and get them all to die at the same time. Kill all 3 within 10 mins and go for first hack...get 3 or more over conections, and damn near every time I got 2-3 rare parts and a decent secondary (VCH 10, 9 or lvl3 &4 imp)...wait 60* secs and hack next getting 1-2 rare parts and possibly 1 secondary...wait 60 more sec and hack last one and maybe get 1 rare or 1 secondary. I tried this several times with 3 WB at a pop changing times and hack connections.
B:)If I let the new spawn sit for 10 mins and then proceed with simultaneous kill then connections over 3 the loot ratio dropped with the first getting 1-2 and maybe secondary...2nd getting 1 rare and maybe 1 secondary...and last mainly junk no higher than VCH8 or possibly 1 secdary like VCH 9, rifleye3.
C:)Then I tried the fast spawn/kill but with lower hack connections keeping at 2 over or less and the loot was as in "B"
D:)Then 20 min wait/kill/high connection hack and loot as in "B" also.
E:)More fast spawn kills/high connections and loot as in "A"
F:)Let time between spawn and start of kill lapse for 10 minutes, then kill/hack....and loot equals randomness leaning more towards no good loot/midly moderate secondary/occational rare
*aprox time values
So to me it seemed that the ratio was KillTime (from spawn to finished hack) : hack bonus connection>2 = More/Better Loot
Do any other solo hackers or APU/hack teams wanna try this out, maybe we'll crack this thing ... or maybe it was just a very nice coincidence (and a profitable one for me tonight)....Any thoughts?
