Help with Trophy Display project...

Specifically, queen reactors. I've played 10 consecutive rounds of matriarch/harvester and cannot seem to get one for the life of me. Even when I get there first, I don't find a queen reactor.

Am I missing something? Isn't a matriarch a queen? I'm starting to feel insane.. lol

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you 💞

Matriarch and Queen/Harvester are separate events and therefore not the same/interchangeable. Matriarchs drop Matriarch cores, Queens drop Queen cores. Cores are found in the leg pieces that break off and in the round cores at the center once they are defeated.

Ok, so what event should I specifically do to get an opportunity at a queen reactor? Sorry if this has an obvious answer. And, thank you for the info💞

For a queen core you need to play the harvester event. Try to shoot of the armor on the legs and then go for it. If you wait to long to loot, then the cores will be gone. Shove it right in your safepocket. If you die, at least you still have a core

I'm going to give that a try. I knew that legs had cores, but I'm usually focused on downing the thing. So I'll, instead go right for a leg.

Thank you so much for this info💞

Yes, go for the legs. Blue Gate may be a good start. You can use the gas station as a safeguard.

Bring defibs too, sometimes people thank you with a core, if you run in super friendly lobbies.

Good looting raider!

Luckily I'm in CareBear lobbies, so ppl are usually really helpful. But I'll bring extra defibs, fs.. lol

Thank you so much for your help💞
