Well.. I seem to be on a huge bad luck streak too, if it's any consolation.. I've
got 1 lockpick after hours of farming in several places.. even worse than normal
drop rate.

Simply its 'only' x3 chance i farmed HM raptors alot on GW birthday for cup cakes. And i only got 5 i know because i decided to buy a stack and work on the title. So 5x3=15 and i farmed for about 24 hours over the weekend...

I suggest do not farm for lock picks just do Hard mode missions Dungeons etc
