Actual Loot Breakdown

Now that Kraken's are tier-based, the breakdown is kind of odd, like Sentinels, where loot is not strictly dropped in order.

Note: When components are dropped, one will always be a Quantum Beacon and the other will be one of the two Titan components.

Participant Loot

KT = Kraken Token  Unit = Bolide Walker  XT = Xeno Token  BT = Brotherhood 
Token  PT = Prestige Token  Component = Xeno Transcoder/Xeno Decoder/Quantum 
Beacon

 2,363 - 7,734 damage:   Kraken Tentacle Trophy

17,222 - 20,368 damage:  1 KT, 1 Unit
         22,609 damage:  1 KT, 1 Unit, 1 BT
25,300 - 27,043 damage:  1 KT, 1 Unit, 1 BT, 1 PT
28,860 - 31,499 damage:  1 KT, 1 Unit, 1 BT, 1 PT, 1 XT
         35,445 damage:  2 KT, 1 Unit, 1 BT, 1 PT, 1 XT
41,670 - 57,536 damage:  2 KT, 2 Unit, 1 BT, 1 PT, 1 XT, 2 Components

Host Loot


Host will get loot for lauching a Kraken at the 22,609 tier, even if they do 
no damage.  It appears that the host gets approximately 18K to 22K bonus on 
tiers, meaning it takes that much less damage per tier to achieve the loot.
