== What's different in PD2? ==
 
The drop rate in PD2 is roughly equivalent to /players 5 for solo play, and scales up per player until it's slightly above the equivalent of vanilla's /players 8 when there is a full game of 8 players. This means that overall NoDrop for all TCs is significantly lower, and it becomes easier to reach a NoDrop of 0 with fewer players. In the best case scenario, a TC that was 80% NoDrop in vanilla would be 32% NoDrop in PD2.
 
You still get loot increases from more players like vanilla, but the difference between a solo player and a group of 8 is overall much smaller.
 
Rune TCs are also the same as in vanilla, so [https://discord.com/channels/701658302085595158/739761245074489355/829461448509358111 rune drop rates are the same]. Miniscule differences may exist in some cases due to new valuable items such as [[Larzuk's Puzzlebox]] being able to drop.
 
== How does PD2 compare to LoD? ==
It's hard to directly compare the two since there are hundreds of TCs, and PD2 has even more than LoD (mostly because of maps). But we can compare a TC from LoD to a TC from PD2 and see how the NoDrop chance has changed.
 
Lets look at the TC called <span class="d2-white">Swarm 2 (H)</span>. In this example, the first number is the amount of players in the game and the second number is the amount of players in the party. So p3/2 means 3 players in the game but only 2 in your party. If you used the <span class="d2-white">/players 8</span> command in single player that would be equivalent to p8/1.
