Does gear drop at all? I’m level 5 and have gotten zero items to drop from any enemy at all?
Loot filter is set to show everything including white items.
Never realized how much I hate the shiv until I am still using it at level % 
Have you tried pressing the “k” button?
its not that because a couple potions dropped and like 2 component pieces from boxes. just no enemy has dropped any items at all.
Only items I have gotten is from the guaranteed items like Francis gun
Edit**
Level 7 now and no enemy has dropped an item at all. only items I get are from clickable containers like barrels and chests
Loot filter settings?
Already set 
Edit… Try verifying the files?
on the bright side I have never bought a health potion before today 
Always good to double check to see if something else wasn’t checked and it was overlooked.
Might have just been really bad rng as once I went into burial cave and wacked reanimator for 3 minutes with my shiv loot started dropping from enemies.
Sad to realize that I probably won’t be able to play 100% ssf tho as I forgot how expensive shrines are in Ultimate
**edit and they weren’t kidding how fast you level if you turn in quests
went from 8 to 19 turning in Reanimator, opening door and doing the spirit guide quest
It took a few levels for my lv.1 Ultimate runner to get a drop. They exist - just not as frequent as we’d hope. Plus side, you get some good iron drops to go buy some gear.
The balance is well “strange”.
I did some cubi runs and reached level 12… than i started ultimate …
Hard but doable. … i did the first quest and all “klick quests” in town … went from level 15 to 26.
The next monster i meet was not fun :undecided:
