Read and then tested an interesting 'bug' in the game. I wonder if there is a way to take advantage of this with the script.

In order to get the AK-47 with Grenade launcher you need to do the Illegal Weapons Smuggling job (40 points needed)and that require acquiring an Illegal Weapons Cache (an additional 10 Energy points needed)as a pre-requisite.

Bug/Anomaly : usually you have a 10% (or much less) chance of getting the AK47 - my personal testing has been closer to 3% of the time - BUT - if you can do the Get Illegal Weapons Job and then do the Illegal Weapons Smuggling job back to back your chances of getting the AK-47 go up significantly (near 50/50).

I have been using MWFBH+ to do the jobs for me but it seems like it does the Acquire Weapons 1st then waits to get to the Weapons smuggling - Pea - any way you can think of to try to do both back to back? That would mean that you would need to have enough Energy to support both jobs (50 points) then fire the 2 jobs in order....

Thoughts?

Great idea, RASGuy! This may not be a bug in the game, but a design by the devs, to lower the chance for players who log on infrequently, and try to do their prerequisites then come back much later to do the job. Not sure why the devs would do this, but it seems clear from your data that the chance apparently goes down with time after the pre-req is done. I have sometimes done the pre-req a couple of times, then come back later to do the job, twice in a short time. I have not got an AK-47 yet. In any case, FBMWH+ would seem to have no real reason not to wait and do one immediately after the other. Pea Cracker?

i think this data is subjective, a relative of mine is now into double figures since using fmwh+ and before had none. i would hazard that it is more timing of the job as i have seen 2 laptops and a computer all get A DROP ITEM at the same time (2AK's and i got a shotgun)well within 2 seconds.
further (and here i am almost guessing) when you do a drop item job a referance is made to a server(?) called static that seems to make the decision of whether you get the item.

if i am correct then it might be possible to preempt when to do the job, but this is now into fantasy.

or is it?

Basically yes - in order to do the job you need to await 50 points of Experience then do the Obtain Weapons Cache Job then do the Smuggling job......

Now to be honest my ability to get the AK47 went up by doing the job back to back and it has been posted on several MW forums also.....your milege may vary of course.
