Diamondine Soldier - Diamondine Kick Pistol drop rate

Hello,

For the past two days I’ve killed 5 Diamondine Soldiers which should’ve gave me at least 4 Diamondine Kick Pistols, but none dropped it.

It seems to me that the drop rate for the pistol was nerfed. Or maybe is it a bug ?

I was also surprised to see so many Soldiers up in just two days, usually I am not so lucky.

What do you think ?

Were they the diamondline trainee (placeholder) or actual Diamondline soldier ?

I am talking about Soldiers, not placeholders.

Granted, it’s been two months since I farmed my pistols, but took me two sessions of 2-3 hours to farm four of them. You’ve just been unlucky.
