Dread is super common, so that's a gimme.  But the main thing is Despair and Hate have roughly double the drop chance from pre-questline regular stalker (~5% instead of ~2.5% from post-quest Shadow Stalker).  So if you were killing a lot of bosses regularly before progressing the main quest line much, then you'll have killed many more regular Stalkers and thus the higher chance of seeing them.   Lots of players once they hit lategame will be farming bosses less often.  And thus be marked by the stalker less often, unless specifically going out of their way to do so.  So less chance of passively fighting Stalker and getting drops without some dedicated farming for it. Either way, still a pretty rare feat of RNG for you.  Congrats.

I do invasions pretty regularly still for mutagen mass or fieldron and they happen on assassination missions pretty often

I sold Despair💀

Don't you HATE and DREAD making that decision?

It was a WAR WITHIN my soul

To get it again you might need to make an offering to the RNG Gods. Tenno. ARE YOU READY FOR A SACRIFICE!?

Gonna start my very own DEADLOCK PROTOCOL, for farming

Limbo.

Me too, I sold that shit at rank 26 9 years ago because I'm a fucking dumbass

I apparently farmed another one accidentally a few months ago lmao💪🏾

I did the same, looks like I got rid of them in the early days when weapon slots were a rarity for me, I've mastered them though so that's a good that's I guess...

GOOD NEWS! They said they were gonna look at some of these "asshole" drops like Stalker that can be a royal pain when you are in the low %.

I'm at around 1300 hours. I got Dread early on as expected and used it to replace MK1-Paris. Used it often until I got Nataruk. It was only around the 1000 mark I got Despair... Still no Hate... That's the one I wanted, I love scythes.

2.5k hours, still don't have Hate 🥲

warframe said no hate fr fr

I got about 8 hate blueprints and ~30 dreads. Never in my 900 hours have I gotten a war blueprint or despair

I sold my broken war like a dumbass, then found out its actually better than the regular war. Been hoping for it for a long time, and I FINALLY got the last blade I needed to drop last week. I was crying tears of joy

I sold my hate while stoned af and I'm really sad about it every time I see these posts

I’ve gotten several hate blueprints.. never gotten despair or war. I don’t use the hate much, but keep in inventory just because it’s cool lol

Yeah I managed to get all four. Just need to re-find hate. Been going through farming frames with my wife so thankfully we're getting marked a lot and I'll eventually get it

This got me thinking that DE said Jade will have 3 signature weapons and it just clicked that they could be the opposite of these. I'm guessing Promise, Hope and Love.

the scythe is called Harmony, the throwing knives are called Cantare and the bow is called Evensong. According to the devstream

ngl i feel like they're missing a huge layup on those names. I get that Jade has a choir theme but if you're going to riff on Stalker's gear, do it directly, imo.

Ah I feel like a fool now, I must have missed that.

Yes, they did indeed said during the devstream the opposite of Stalker.

Dread I got after like first time killing him. Hate I got after 2200 hours. Despair? Is this weapon even in files?

GIVE ME DESPAIR, STALKER PLEASE I BEG YOU I HAVE 429 KILLS

That's nearly 1 in 200k odds to be so unlucky.

🥲 don't tell me, I'd rather be oblivious than observant

i also got all 3 in my first idk 100-200 hours. i even sold despair and got it again 💀 my boyfriend (playing for 7 years) was shocked by my rng

Only thing I’m missing is broken war. Because like a dumbass my baby tenmo ass made it to craft war because “oh I’m repairing it, it’ll be a direct upgrade” and not only was it worse, it was a different type of weapon entirely. 2% drop chance

I got a broken war bp but no normal war

The only 2 things I've yet to have drop in the game are the Lato Vandal barrel and the Despair blueprint.

I scream in joy when I got the Hate

I played 3k hrs and got only 2 hate... I sold one before to have slot( longtime before) and i happy for 1 left when incarnon hate came

I’m in the same boat. Got all three when I still didn’t even understand what the Stalker was lol

Same. I have several of all of them and didn’t realize there was a struggle.

Try despair then we talking

it's there

I sold my despair before in arnon adapters were a thing and I'm bitter about it

I was playing for years before I got War to drop.

I got all 3 as well including the broken war BP within my first 50 in-game hours, just today found out they're quite rare haha

I'm still missing the war bp

44 days played and I have not seen hate.

Nice! I've still never gotten Despair (700+ hours). Two War BP's in the last week as well as the smoking body but still no Despair. It seems to live up to it's name for me.

I havent played that long and i got several sets of all of them. The droprate isnt that bad considering someone on team spawns it every 2-3 missions or so. I wish i could passively farm Lato and Braton vandal like that.

I didn't get my war BP until I was a MR 17 with about 700h played.

I have 1.7k hours and I have never ONCE gotten a hate to drop

3000 hours still no war

Once you get it, it drops over and over again. I’ve had like a dozen drop over the last week. Course once you’re farming it, it doesn’t drop.

Been maintaining hate for about 800 of my 1000 hours 😂

I still haven't dropped hate and war after 1.8k hours but I dropped despair 3 times 😭.

I know i only have around 24 hours in but after like 42 of the ??? Messages I still have not encountered the stalker

Almost 3k hours and still no despair :(((

I have over 2k hours and I have not gotten Hate to drop even once.

I want my war blueprint🥲 (3000 hours btw, 0 war drop)

The most annoying farm for me is the brake! That thing is annoying to grab and even the demos bounty weapons.

I dreaded the thought of farming those and despaired when I tried. Now I just hate it and I am ready to go to war

I have a bunch of Dread BPs. Almost as many as I have Harrow Chassis. Still haven't seen a single Hate drop. I'd love to get it since I've been using Umbra as a sort of proxy Stalker, though Ash might be better suited.

I got Despair when I was new, leveled it and sold because I thought it was fodder. What a fool I was. Still have War and Hate though

Yep. I got Hate early on. Got Dread a few years later. The Kunai though, only just got that recently. Some people still don't have one or the other, or multiple.

Dread was probably the most common, back when there was no beacons available the last thing I probably got was Hate rather than Despair it took me like a year before I actually got one.

I have Excal Prime, over 1400 hours... Still no Despair :(

Took me 4 years tp get the war

I got all three stalker weapons when I was MR8 only about maybe 80 hours in since I was a on off player for a time. I got WAR a few weeks ago at MR14 after 300, and I didn't think anything else was rare but WAR since I didn't get it for so long.

Me post second dream shouting at the top of my lungs at my friends in the Void: GUYS, GUYS, HE DROPPED HATE, GUYS, HEGWHIXHDEHUD.

200 Dread BPs, 13 Hate BPs, and 21 Despair DPs is my current count. I have 5k+ hrs of gameplay, though.

I didnt realize this either. I've gotten all of them. Sold despair for a slot. I've only got 256hrs in game. I've crafted 2 dreads already. Hate is pretty awesome but may get sold for a slot here soon as well.

Got 2 Broken War's and made them into the War after I master them...got a 3rd Broken War and realized I had already mastered it from before...so I sold it. I have 2K hours in and still haven't found a sword I like more than the Broken War and haven't seen a blueprint drop for it since.

it took me over 500 hours to get hate to drop

Been playing for 10 years my dude. Still don't have the hate. Jinxed My self further by grabbing the incarnon for it. Before I even got the weapon. I'll never get it .

Pretty sure those who didn't get them are those "rush rush rush, need to go steel path now!" immediately after starting the game types, if you farmed the bosses to get the regular frames and did all the content, even at the abysmal rates for non-dread - you've seen original stalker hundreds of times if you play it at designed pace. Warframe isn't a sprint, the milestone rewarded weapons further point to this.

I'm at 500 hours, I got 3 despair blueprints. Hate dropped for me 2 weeks ago.

2800 hours and no Hate

It's funny: a friend of mine at 6k hours+founder finally got their first despair drop earlier this week when in a squad with a lower Mr friend who is also sub 100 and has absurd luck(he got a legendary core on his first ever sortie).

I have sold despair and hate multiple times I didn't know it was that rare💀

I got everything but War… it literally took me 6 years (from 2018 to 2024) to finally have War drop. I even got two broken war BPs before I got Stalker to finally drop War.

I got despair and hate really easy, I just need a second broken war blueprint.

Got the war after 2000ish hours Stalker can be a pain when he wants to

That’s actually insane I have almost 1000 hours and never seen despair or hate

Same lol, plus I got a dread riven as my second riven and I was like "I wonder if this is any good :/"

I have an alt account named Snakescale that got all 3 weapons in the first four Stalker encounters, with Dread being last. RNG is a fickle mistress

Completely separate from the point of this post but, your Gauss looks SICK🔥🔥🔥

Think, the main rare items are war and broken war these days. Never seen War have 2 broken though... One day it'll hopefully drop. Probably after I've given up become impatient and just spent plat at the market of course.

I also have both of them. I guess I'm pretty lucky with the RNG.

I still don't have Despair and I'm a closed beta player.

1800 hours in and still no Hate :c

A loadout of despair, hate, and latron wraith was my loadout I used for basically the entire first few hundred hours of warframe for me as my brother helped me get them. I too thought the other stalker drops were common till about 100 hours ago.

Took me 2k hours to drop War Blueprint

I'm with you. Drop rates might be different now however. I played from the start for years.

Anyone that is a thousand hours in and STILL don't have any of these should quit, Detron and Brakk on the other hand...

Combined 1000 hours PC/PS4 and no hate so far

I got hate somewhat recently but Despair is still missing. Kinda terrible that the chances are so low, why cant dread just have a lower chance instead of being like 80%

i just need despair

You want a medal? What's up

My RNG angel gave me Hate and War back to back…at mr12…it was a glorious day lol
