2* cover drop rates from PVP

Quick question for the devs - is the 2* drop rate from PVP tied to your roster strength or MMR? You hear a lot of people on the forums say that 2*s drop "like candy." I have two accounts, one that I started recently and a Steam account that has 45 characters and around 460 hours of play time with a healthy number of 100+ 3*s. It seems to me that the Steam account sees 2*s drop pretty regularly, while the new account is starving for covers and things to spend ISO on. It could definitely just be some confirmation bias or the fact that I don't keep track of things I don't care about (like 2* covers in an account that has most of them cover-maxed) but I'm curious.

  • I highly doubt drop rates vary by roster strength. Your main account can probably just process fights much quicker with the better roster, thus increasing your overall drops and 2* drops proportionately.
  • I seem to have actually seen a decrease in 2* cover drops from matches recently despite the fact that my roster has consistently been growing. I think it's probably a randomized pull, and it's just easy to be an outlier and feel like that's the norm.
