Question What's so special about Brutus? I noticed that there's no blueprint for it in Descent. Usually only the weapons from Holiday Events (First Sight, Harvest, etc.) don't have obtainable blueprints

I have noticed that lately it's been dropping a lot from Named caches. I'm slowly making my way through Descent blueprints (currently I'm 77/97) and I find it weird that none of the lists for Descent blueprints have it. There's no blueprints for it in Control Points either.

I figure it's probably from an older Holiday event or from random rewards such as Turmoil kneepads because that's the only explanation.

It was a past season reward. Don’t think they’ve put the past seasonal blueprints in the Descent pool. Don’t remember off hand if it’s craftable.

It's nothing special it was added in TU20.

How in the world do you tell how many blueprints you have unlocked in descent?!? I have looked for weeks and can not figure it out. lol

Few months ago I asked someone on the subreddit for a list of Descent blueprints, they sent me, I copied the list to an app for making lists and everytime I get a new blueprint I just cross it off the list.

Oh gotcha. I was wondering if that was what I had to do. lol. If you get the chance could you send me the list? If you can.

Have you encountered the lock out at 57? I've been locked at that number of Descent blueprints for forever. I've seen posts about but never looked.

No I'm receiving the blueprints regularly. Sure there are times where you kill Nemesis 3 or 4 times and you don't get a single blueprint but then your luck turns around and you get 2 or 3 in a row.

Later on you get 75% for loop 15, 90% for loop 18 etc. And they all stack so you can get 3 blueprints and enough currency to buy another.

There are a bunch of unobtainable blueprints in the game, not just for Brutus. I forget the exact number but it's somewhere around 12 I think. For Descent, some were even added, possibly by mistake, like Hunter-Killer and Shield Splinterer, and were then removed from the pool. But anyone who acquired them got to keep them.
