Decaying Code for Patcher's Headgear?

**monkeymanx8**

How much decaying code does it take total to get the Patcher's Headgear?

400(10 Archives)
+1700(5 Wasteland Corrupter Kills)

2100 Total

Keep in mind that the Level 100 Wasteland Corrupters sometimes drop 2 of the Corupted codes, so it would be best if you kill one once you get 340 decay codes and trade them for the insecticides.

Wow, that's alot.

Thats at least 24 hours farming time for those decaying codes

Also. It dropping 2, is a rare thing.

Very rare. I've farmed 3 headgear and 2 bandanas and have never had one drop 2 corrupted codes.

tbh i dont think its so rare, me and a faction mate farmed 2 headgears and on each one we got a 2 corrupted code drop.

I got a double drop twice on my headgear. Fantastic news because it took me about 2 months to collect the codes just for those. Its a long and tedious grind that I just cant stand

I have to agree..I've farmed 2 headgears and 4 bandana's and on my last kill,the Corruptor dropped 2!!!So i have one corrupted code in my inventory. O.o!

Still say this quest needs rebalancing, i'm pretty everyone agrees the insane farming grind is not worth the reward.

I've avoided even attempting to get the headgear for the very reason of the long grind.

Sadly so, 99% of people only farm them for themselves (if at all) due to the fact that it isnt financially rewarding farming for others.

I started doing this the easy way with the aim of getting myself a headgear but then I ended up farming a pile of bandanas for other people. I could have had a headgear by now but I'm getting close to a billion info instead and for someone who joined after the buy-back that's pretty good going. So I wouldn't say it isn't viable to farm these things, only that you could make as much with a lot less hassle just by working in Datamine in your spare time. So yeah, overall I have to agree that the grind for the headgear is too long and painful but the bandana and hat are just fine.

And there lies the other problem, if you're farming as part of a group you'll notice the corrupted codes are non-tradeable. One person has to be the farmer for the entire group.

Pfft. Are you aware of just how sexy the white bandanna is?
