I have been running missions every waking hour since it got released because I've badly wanted Detron ever since the Gradivus Dilemma. Before the following, let me just say I have 1600 hours in Warframe, I'm a Grand Master, with Inferno Prime Access, and I have everything but Strun Wraith, Lato Vandal, and Braton Vandal. I am very dedicated to this game and I have farmed a LOT for many of the things in the game but this one is probably the only one I just can't do.

I have gotten 1/4 of my total kills (~100,000) in the past week or so (1600 HOURS) and tore apart likely 15-20 harvesters, possibly 500-600+ runs (mainly Io on Jupiter, wave 1-5 with Vauban and teslas on the ceiling, and repeat). I have found a. A. One. Barrel. No receivers. ~8 Detron Blueprints. Many of the kills I went over a hundred runs for and didn't even get any drop at all. I've spent a long time grinding for things and I have a lot of patience but this is probably the worst grind in the game and even for someone who has spent that much on the game it's not worth it right now. I at least need a break and i'd reccomend that those of you who haven't been lucky enough to get it yet should just wait until they do something. This is ridiculous. DE can't say it's a "long term goal" because you have to fight one specific faction and ignore 2/3 of the content to have a chance at fighting the harvester, to have a chance to beat it, to have a chance to get a drop, to have a chance to get the part you need. It's just horrible design. If I'm running 500 missions and putting in the effort I should be able to have a reasonable shot at getting it. Brakk, the most powerful weapon in the game needed 100 missions. It makes no sense for Detron to need this much grinding.
