DO NOT USE THIS MOD unless you have read all the comments and understand why legendary loot boxes are over all better.
TLDR: You get a lot of empty supreme loot boxes. Changes to the loot files mid-play-thru have no effect. You have to restart. There is no 'try it' and uninstall/restore the original files without also restarting the campaign.
If you understand exactly how the loot files work, you can edit them. Supreme loot boxes will usually be empty. Supreme weapon mods are often useless. Something like knock-back on a critical hit is useless when a critical hit usually kills the target anyway. Many of the Supreme mods sound good on paper. The legendary loot is often actually better.
The original mod author had good intentions. The mod wasn't used long enough to see how it actually ended up working.
Taking Darkdill's advice i edited Loot1_1.CSV with some success. There are 3 lines you can repeat at the bottom of the list to get more random rewards. They are; "NewRow13","Reward","Legendary","Legendary",2,2,"Armour","Any| Any|-10","True" "NewRow33","Reward","Legendary","Legendary",1,2,"Mod","Any| Any|-10","True" "NewRow59","Reward","Legendary","Supreme",1,2,"Mod","Any| Any|-10","True"
I put each of those about 30 times. Remember to edit the "newrow" number so each one follows in order. Also restart + new campaign the game after changing. It didn't seem to give many armours but lots of the others. I also copied this for the next few subsequent levels but haven't received mission rewards at all, presumably because i have all the items already.
I have figured out a better way to go about this, though some may argue that it's cheating. Instead of making it so Supreme loot crates can be picked up, one should change the fixed rewards of campaign missions to give the Supreme weapon mods.
I've done this not just for Supreme mods, but also to give myself Legendary armor mods early in the campaign. Meanwhile, I changed all crates to Legendary tier, as some Legendary weapon mods can be more useful than Supreme ones (i.e. Master Sight for Supports, which reduces all skill cooldowns by 2).
The main advantage of this is that it addresses the issue of some Supreme crates giving you nothing, which happens because there are no Supreme armor parts or grenades. Additionally, changing the random crates to all be Supreme can actually hurt more than help, as it means you don't get Legendary armor parts or Legendary grenades.
Wow. that's awesome. I have tried this and changed every reward in Loot*_*.csv with supreme ones and it works like a charm. Do you know every item name in the game like "Aspho|Upper" or "Commando|Lower"? I also don't understand about how the "MinPowerLevel"/"MaxPowerLevel" works. Can you give me some pointers?
i do not know why but the supreme case i picked up on the mission field did not give any gear when i open the box after that mission ! Is there a way to fix that ? The supreme gear given through mission reward still work well for me . Can you make a version where all the case we pick up on the field of mission are legendary only not supreme ? I think supreme gears only get by mission reward is good enough
Thanks a lot for a good mod you given to us, hope you well .
I've had that happen several times too, and I think I know why. The modder thinks that there are Supreme armor pieces and has tried to mod it for that, but there aren't any of those. So that causes you to get nothing.
I don't own the Windows version so unfortunately I can't be of much help. I assumed there would be a similar directory layout to the steam one but that may not be the case; hopefully someone else can chime in.
After some adjustments made I mentioned earlier in bug section (actually run through all tables, some stock files in other folders were also affected) it worked. Started fresh run and as boxes start appear as you planned, though some give supreme mods, some spawn empty. My guess, because now game try to put there supreme armors that just ain't there. So either error is made by devs, and ur mod just let it show earlier than vet mode, or simple push up of rarities around files somehow broke loot draw system and now game is trying to fill Supreme boxes with tier 7 items, and return empty boxes for armors that are still stuck at tier 6. Ther are only a few new files for us to play with, and bug probably hides there. Any ideas?
Can you remember which stock files were also affected? I tried updating all the files with this mod to have ".." on the text columns but I am still not getting any supreme drops. I can get them during missions but when I open them in the main screen it is blank
I added your fix to the latest version. I'm not so sure about why the drops wouldn't show up in some places though, that seems odd. I don't have the game installed anymore but that could be a bug from the dev side of things since all these files are doing is populating containers (loot boxes) with things from a given list (the rarities). When the list is reduced to just supreme for example, that should mean only supreme appears so this is a bit of a tricky one.
My only thought is that some of the fields I edited were not intended to be edited (although that makes no sense since it is a configuration). The bulk of the work was just a simple find-replace with rarities to supreme. Hopefully this info helps someone find the root of the issue, and while I won't be actively working on it, I will check in from time to time and post an update if a fix is found by the community.
I don't know if I have a conflicting mod on but I'm on act 3 chapter 3 and I haven't seen a single supreme mod and none of my damages bonuses are above 30 at best. I have upgraded armor and weapons v1.6 from esenin007.
Edit: NVM, I figured it out. Apparently, the other mod doesn't work with steam while connected to the internet. is there a way to phase out the epics drops? I need more legendary.
so does this work with the steam version ? all other mods seem to mention steam issues and microsoft store version wont let me edit files or add any to begin with.
just disconect the internet before starting the game too stop the overwrite on steam version then just connect it again after you have gotten into the main menu
It does work with the steam version, that is what I have. You don't have to disconnect from the internet for it to work you simply replace the file in the location specified with the one from this mod and start the game.
Steam won't automatically undo mods unless you manually tell it to verify the game's files in which case it will detect changes to the original and replace it so you are safe to mod it all you want (and I highly recommend you do, as the Ukkon's wrath mod and something like this mod really make the game more exciting).

Here's an example of my Loot1_1.CSV file.
Try it out and you'll see what I mean. You'll get all these items at the end of the Tutorial level.
On another note, do you know how to get Legendary Frag Grenade?
May I ask you a question?
How did you manage to get proper names of specific equipment, such as the helmet, chest and feet armor?
Thanks in advance!
