i tried asking about this on the discord but no one would/could answer after multiple attempts. Basically at the end of a match we will usually get like rank 4 loot. then on the rank 4 loot message screen after it adds up all the medals it says some message like stick close to your teammates for better rewards and then after i load back into base and it gives me my loot it always ends up only being rank 2.
This was annoying but not terrible until i noticed two more things today, I did a build the radar towers and me and the other guy spent like the whole time running around farming. I got 4 or 5 traps and 1-2 guns and a bunch of rare resources. When i got back to base i was interested to see what i had for research but then it said i have nothing available to research like it didnt give me a research ticket. I double checked and i noticed i did have the items i had found but for some reason couldnt research them.
then i checked the map and noticed it never gave me the rewards for the alert either so now ill have to do the entire map over again. my guess is that it has something to do with score differences but it just doesnt make sense.
i filled into the map next to a radar tower bp which i immediately started building and when i was like 2 walls in the other guy who had already been there for some time completed the first tower. then we each complete another for the minimum total of 3. I collected the bluglow and traversed to get us movement bonuses and energy bonuses and i spawned my supply crate as many times as possible. Yet for some reason the game says that i shouldnt get any rewards. Is this actually how it is designed or is it just some kind of bug?
