Focusing Umbrals For Ikelos Guns

I've lost count of how many umbrals I've focused on the Ikelos SMG but haven't received a single red border. I read the upgrade list but it didn't seem to say I needed to upgrade to get red borders just to get one guaranteed per week. Is it possible to get red borders from focusing ikelos at the Helm? Or only one per week with the upgrade? I've focused 10 guns or more and got not one red border. I have no complaints about my rng generally but this seems a bit much.

  • I haven't gotten ONE SMG to even drop, since DLC came out. I was beginning to wonder what I was doing wrong. I've only gotten the sniper from ranking up to level 7 with vendor. That's it. No other Ikelos drops.

      Just buy the Warmind looking engram. It seems to cap at about 2-3 per week for red borders, so after that I'd stop.

      • It’s better to use basic focus first until you have at least half the weapons in the pool crafted, then start focusing on individual weapons.

Just got my final one in the exotic mission. Now it’s level up time

      • Are the re-released Ikelos weapons even worth bothering with since we still have the old god rolled ones since warmind? Do they have perks that the old ones couldn't roll with?

        • I still have no clue how crafting works and what the red borders purpose are.

          • I’m half way through my second reset. No pattern yet. Total of 3 red boxes so far, shotgun and sniper. I’m done farming heist. No longer fun at this point.

          • You can get red boarder drops from direct focusing. I got the last 3 I needed to craft the smg from that way, better than using the option for focusing all 4 ikelos weapons
