I’m looking for robot thermal sensors.
I got a Ziplex A10 BP that needs them.
Wiki says they drop from Robot beacon mobs.
Theres nothing on the broker, can’t run the instance solo.
I got into the instance by making a solo team! took my freaking Beacon and then said I can’t loot solo after I killed robots.
Why do you care if someone want’s to solo these Robots?
Why keep something locked down like this when noone does them.
I guess it’s just another dead end in the game.
If anyone knows a trick to solo the Instance without another account to make a team Let me know.

I mean you can run beacons solo, all the mobs give had no loot messege gotta open chests at end afaik you can just enter solo without making teambut has been a little while otherwise solo team works fine. Source ran a few solo now all boxes in final room so dont need people to help get them in time.
Robot thermal sensors have not dropped in 2+ years, gl getting them beacons are just a waste of PED and time atm until MA fixes them.
Because people doing instances solo generate a shipload of support cases when they get disconnected/otherwise booted from the instances, and support team is already overworked.
Same like gauntlet, enter in solo team, once inside abandon the team.
I did it a lot if times, its ok.
Idk what happens when you crash, never happend yet with me.
The system always warns you, you cant loot a mob if alone in the team, maybe its the same for the loot crates at the end? I dont know, i always abandoned team as soon as got inside.
If you mean loot from mobs, yes, beacon mobs not drops loot, only the 12 crate’s at the end, sometimes there is 1 mob that give like 50 shrapnel, but that is all 
Wiki is just very outdated, it writes 2+ year for VU of last drop, but maybe its just not refreshed.
For example, last Lion foot guard says 8+ years ago VU for last time and we looted 2 after Halloween event.

So wiki says its not dropped for a while, maybe just means no one refreshed it for a while.
Same for the where drops, we got the foot’s from 25p beacons, not from 42p.
In the other hand, you are maybe - probably right, we not received a single one of that item in our 30 runs from the past half year, neither Robot Scrap metal, so if you says by experience, its most probably thru 
Try bots on other planets perhaps?
I have done hundreds of beacons since loot 2.0, none of the beacon specific components drop any more, and tt returns are 85% as well, not a chance for multipliers any more so you lose tons of PED on tt as well as not finding anything worth anything other than the odd lion piece
