I was given the impression that Ronin were an immediate follow up to clearing kitsune squads, but they are actually super rare. One in seven so far and no keys. That's one per hour?? And we need how many keys?

Guys, come on. There's so much stuff to spend keys on! It should be raining keys out here! That's so much more fun to have a bunch to spend and pull the slot machine more times. If it were JUST the 30 apparel keys, fine. But there's dozens of things to chase including the community event. If I get one key per hour (which I haven't yet), there's no way I'm giving them away without getting anything in return.

More keys!

5 Kitsunebi squads defeated, no keys?

5 squads in on Heroic and no keys yet. Anyone have any idea what the drop rate is meant to be?

The main concept of the event is pretty much the same as with the Winter Event. It's a community event featuring community challenges, caches, keys, and kill squads. Kitsunebi kill squads are packs of five Outcast enemies that spawn randomly from the nearest spawn closet. After defeating the NPCs from a Kitsunebi kill squad, either the Fox Ronin or Red Ronin hunter will spawn. Unlike the previous event, drop chances are now tied to world difficulty. Defeating a Ronin grants a chance to drop a Sakura Key, scaled by your world difficulty, and you will also receive skill VFXs as a guaranteed reward. NPCs from Kitsunebi kill squads can also drop Sakura Keys, although with a drop chance ten times lower than Ronins. The chances for Ronins and NPCs to drop Sakura Keys are as follows:

• Normal: 55% (5.0% for NPCs)
• Hard: 60% (5.5% for NPCs)
• Challenging: 62.5% (6.0% for NPCs)
• Heroic: 65% (6.5% for NPCs)

There is a probability of encountering Kitsunebi kill squads at Control Points and at the Loot Goblin locations (DZ South, DCD, Lincoln Memorial, etc.), though slightly less frequently. They can still spawn normally in the open world from the nearest spawn closet to the player. Each kill squad has a 10-minute cooldown after spawning. For instance, the next kill squad will appear 10 minutes after the previous one.

As mentioned above, completing a Ronin encounter rewards a Sakura key and a Skill VFX. Skill VFXs for the drone and turret are tied to Fox Ronin, while VFXs for the hive and seeker mine are tied to Red Ronin.

Sakura Keys can be used at the Event Vendor to open either an Apparel Cache or a Gear Cache. The Apparel Cache is pretty straightforward, offering guaranteed vanity items with no duplicates.

The Gear Cache contains a wide variety of gameplay items, ranging from Special Named Items to Prototypes. There are seven loot groups in total, each with its own overall drop chance, as well as individual drop chances for items within that group.

• First Bloom — 12% per cache
• First Bloom Prototype — 1.0% per cache
• Prototype Gear Set — 0.5% per cache
• Prototype Seasonal Named Gear — 0.5% per cache:
  • The Harvest — 10%
  • Chill Out — 10%
  • Sleigher — 10%
  • Slingshot — 10%
  • Oh Carol — 10%
  • First Sight — 10%
  • Quickstep — 10%
  • Festive Delivery — 10%
  • Snow Machine — 10%
  • Bell Ringer — 10%
• Special Named Gear — 33% per cache:
  • Lexington — 14.2%
  • Turmoil — 14.2%
  • Caretaker — 14.2%
  • Shield Splinterer — 14.2%
  • Huntsman — 14.2%
  • Hunter-Killer — 14.2%
  • Handbasket — 14.2%
• Seasonal Named Gear — 28% per cache:
  • The Harvest — 11.1%
  • Chill Out — 11.1%
  • Sleigher — 11.1%
  • Slingshot — 11.1%
  • Oh Carol — 11.1%
  • First Sight — 11.1%
  • Quickstep — 11.1%
  • Festive Delivery — 11.1%
  • Snow Machine — 11.1%
• General Pool Exotics — 25% per cache:
  • Agitator — 14.2%
  • Investor — 14.2%
  • Chatterbox — 14.2%
  • Dodge City Gunslinger's Holster— 14.2%
  • Ridgeway's Pride — 14.2%
  • Nemesis — 14.2%
  • Liberty — 14.2%

The loot group for the Prototype Gear Set contains all 27 available gear sets, each of which has six pieces. The drop rates within this group are distributed evenly, so it is completely random which specific gear piece from which set will drop.

Just to clear up any misunderstandings, as you can see, there are no Lexington Prototype or other non-event Prototype weapons, nor any High-End Prototypes in the pool, so it is impossible to obtain them. The only Prototype items you can get from the caches are the First Bloom Prototype and the Prototype Gear Sets.

During the Christmas season, a post was made to find the gift boxes. I think it would be great to repeat the process. In this post, you can comment on which areas you found the lamps in. I'll leave mine in the first comment.

Hi all -

Ran around in a few random groups for about 1 hour and 30 min and had about 130 keys and I noticed if you stay together and try to find busy areas. The busier the area the more the Ninja dudes pop up. Often non-stop, endless Ronins if you stay together in a group and look for busy areas, especially where you see lots of the green good guys. Also use Normal for global setting. Its hard enough with normal and you get tons of keys. Seems you need 300-400 keys to complete the event. But even after it is the best way to get loot I have ever played.

BTW - please dont shoot the messenger. Dont get bummed at me for explaining the farm method.

Just a quick note that the original post some of you may have saved, covering drop chances and other information about Prototype Gear and Escalation, has been updated to reflect the Y8S1.1 changes.

You can find all the updated information (currently in progress) in the original post here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/1safynu/psa_escalation_prototype_gear_drop_chances_roll/

TL;DR for those only interested in drop chances: the drop rates have indeed been increased twice and are now as follows:

• Tier 1: 0.20%
• Tier 2: 0.40%
• Tier 3: 0.60%
• Tier 4: 0.60%
• Tier 5: 0.80%
• Tier 6: 1.25%
• Tier 7: 1.50%
• Tier 8: 2.00%
• Tier 9: 2.50%
• Tier 10: 3.00%

Is anyone else getting this error code on US pc servers? Error code Delta-05

I’ve already wiped out 7 Kitsunebi squads and 1 Red Ronin on Heroic, and not a single key has dropped

https://preview.redd.it/zxpezzjmbkwg1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=840cd4bdb7fa49825d279a0050fdf762b90d8fa8

They indeed boosted the drop rates
Does someone know the new %?

Find those lanterns!

hopefully they re work the mehanic again

Stay in the fight long enough and something bigger answers, we have literally slaughtered these Kitsunebi at a level 4 control point multiple times and nothing

Is there a way I’m not seeing that lets us hide our chest piece? I feel the answer is probably no. I think most of my styled fits just look better without one. Usually going for tops that hide it by default but I’d like the option to for everything.

Is it just me or this event already a clown fiesta with bugged instances where you can farm hundreds of keys non stop, other ppl not getting a single key drop in their instances, everyone asking questions etc ?

Also there seems to be some cheese going on, I joined a group where squads kept respawning non stop

Also what's with the random Kitsune squads like inside a building that you can't access until they despawn

Nice QOL improvement.

After today's update, The Division 2 won't launch because of EasyAntiCheat.
I was playing this game on Mac via CrossOver app, and it work completely fine on my Mac.
I understand this is only my problem because this game does not support Mac.
Just want to say about this somewhere.
Verifying game files don't help.
