Fight Loot Drop Rates

Share:

As stated in a previous post, we have "Double Loot" drops in fighting going on all weekend.
Before I fired up Brawler, I decided to do some manual fighting to get an idea of what is considered "Double Loot". In Brazil, items drop in increments of 10 and 20 instead of 1 and 5. It looks like this has to do with the type of loot as loot items dropped in multiples of 20 and building parts dropped in 10's.
Brazil
In New York they drop in multiples of 2 and 4 and follow the same pattern as Brazil.

When the announcement was made that there would be double loot drops this weekend, I immediately did a 20,000+ stamina run. I know it's not much but it was enough to show differences. Here is a run prior to the loot drop weekend performed yesterday.
Due to a logging error with Brawler, I had to start my run over and rely on inventory screen shots to document loot drops. You can see below that I won over 7,000 fights but hardly any loot was actually logged. At least from this image we learn that Harmless Spiders don't drop at a double rate.
I decided to check on High End Fighting Loot 4, Construction Workers, Brazilian Timbers ad Weapon Parts. I'm amazed by my results and had to triple check to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. I took screen shots from my inventory before and after a winning 21,190 fights. Everything I checked was more than double of what it was yesterday so we can't say the drop rate was nerfed. Keep in mind this is only one run and the only value for comparison is that it was performed on the same account. Drop rates are random.  Feel free to comment if you find different results. I still don't get the reason for the multiples of 20 and 4 and I hope it's not an error on Zynga's end.

    Brawler is not logging your loot. You need to manually check your loot.

    Brawler doesn't log it but my stats have increased tremendously! Brazil loot IS dropping at a double rate for me.

    I thought I was imagining things. For over a year zynga has had my loot drop rate at absolutely nothing (to keep fighting fair, blah blah). I thought it was Christmas and it is only Easter yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    My loot rate is 16-17%.
    But with a run of 30k stamina, i got 10 construction workers, and thats it.


    Btw, how do you make those screenshots for your High End Fighting Loot 4?
    do you use filters on the inventory page?

    FHEL4 you will get whene you attack people with a mafia size of 501.
    Set the brawler mafia : 501 to 501
    it will increase your chances.
