What is a looter shooter?
A looter shooter is a shooter built around collecting better weapons and gear, with random stats and rarities, from enemies and activities.

How it works
You play the same missions again to find rarer gear, so the game's drop rates shape how long a goal takes. Most are online and co-op.
In the games we track
- Destiny 2: free to start, with paid expansions such as Renegades.
- Warframe: Digital Extremes publishes full drop tables for Void Relics.
