In the near future, I hope that HE drops will be increased in the DZ. The reason is that my ultimate goal is to be a Loot Goblin in the DZ. I want to fill my pack with 9 HEs (hopefully not all performance mods... stupid RNG...), then go into a full Stamina/Electronics build. Then, kill folks to get to Manhunt. Once I reach Manhunt, I will no longer shoot anyone or anything. My goal at this point is just to run and live. I'll use self heal and probably pulse (so I can see what's around me).
I will run from DZ01 to DZ06. I'll leap over the fence at Torch, say hi to him. I'll pass by Animal at the Library and see if he's finished "Of Mice and Men" yet! I'll see of O'Rourke was able to cook me up a nice rat burger. I'll have my mic open, yelling to everyone to chase me, the Loot Goblin! I'll also be playing Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell" through the mic.
Once I reach my inevitable death at the hands of the rogue hunters, and they see 9 yellows on the ground. That's when the real fun begins. Since everyone sees the loot... and people are running to take it... I want the mayhem to commence and everyone starts killing everyone to get the HEs!
Yes, some people just want to watch the world burn!
EDIT: Just thought of something that will help. Since after the patch, we can trade loot. I'll need to get my three buddies in on this and as we farm, if they get HE's to give them to me. That would help me get to 9 even faster! The fun this could create!
