Legendary-Tier Loot Drops With Very Difficult Access Mechanisms

What do people think of the following idea(s):

  1. At a random time, and random location on the map, a large loot crate type device descends from the sky, just like a normal supply drop. This drop is much bigger than regular supply drops, and contains only very high tier or legendary items. 
    1. Instead of accessing the drop through normal means (Hold E), this drop requires complicated and difficult puzzles to be solved, such as:
      1. Shooting a number of targets, in order, within a given time frame.
        1. Additional constraints could be:
          1. Specific ammo types required.
          2. Minimum and maximum firing ranges.
      2. Working as a team to unlock the drop:
        1. Three "sectors" which all need to be shot at the same time, requiring teamwork to get right:
          1. Complete shooting pattern per segment in a specified amount of time.
          2. Shoot a target at the exact same time. 

Just some random ideas.

  • I really like this kind of (idea brainstorming).

    I will add to it by saying:

    Early game, either have a squad of AI folks roam the map (like Bounty Hunters).

    They move in the direction of the Kill Leader (or) Champion Squad, but will shoot at anything in sight.

    (problem with this is actually programming the AI to be good enough, but not god-like so average players don't get wrecked.)

    The other option is to drop an actual Titan... =)

    Or a special loot crate, but which either takes a while to be 'opened', by firing at it (like a large, but 'doors damaged in transit' loot crate).

    Or better still, have loot crates hold your usual 3 items + 1 'flare'. Having different types of flares, like an Armour Flare, Weapon Flare, Attachment Flare, Accessory (backpacks/knockdown shields flares).

    Make it so that they take a little longer to drop than a normal loot crate, giving more teams, a chance to arrive at said location.
    (and maybe have it only open if there is only 1 Squad within X Radius...so the crate won't actually open if it's currently being contested..which would be a nice touch..)


    Just a bunch of random ideas...see any you like?
