Would having a duped item do anything to my drop rates?

alright hacker tell me if im wrong but:
i duped 99 pds 99 trimates and 2 of a dbs saber and did 5 runs through the ruin i never once got a rare so am i just gettin unlucky or is it like a hacked item to the game system? if im unlucky plz tell me if u duped and how long it took for u to get a rare my runs were all on v-hard ruins so i have percise data.

[Vicous]

i get all my rares from ruins and caves hard

We don't care vicous and now your just wasting posting space.

And having more then 10x of a Monomate or Dimate will mess up your drop rate. Get rid of them so you only have 10x of Dimate, Monomate, Trimate, Monofluid, Difluid, Trifluid, Sol atomizer, Moon atomizer, Star atomizer, Antidote, Antiparalysis, Telepipe and Trap vision. All others you dupe are fine and Photon drops can exceed 10x obviously without messing your drop rate up.

Stacking items eg 99 trimates sets drop rate to 0 you need to turn it back to 10 items and restart the game or the drop rates will still be set to 0 so in short if you stack no rares and quit game with 10 items or no rares

No. I have personally found rares in a game where someone was using stacks

Listen up everyone:

As Vash once explained it is impossible for dupes to affect drop rates. Since they are exactly the same as a legit weapon (because they are a complete duplication) they cannot and will not affect drop rates. The game will not tell them apart from the original. Hacks can alter from legit weapons, for instance the hacked SJS cannot be unsealed (no kill counter). If you duplicate a hack, because it is exactly the same as a hack it may affect drop rates.

REMEMBER: A dupe is not considered a seperate kind of item to the game, the two drop rate possible affecting type of items are hacked and un-hacked items. A dupe may fit into either of those categories. If a hacker does a good enough job then a hack may not affect drop rates at all, it hasnt even been proven that definate hacks (e.g. over stat mags) do affect drop rates.

The 99 tris would have been recognised by the game since it is impossible to stack that many, however if you lowered the items to only 10 tris but still had them as dupes there would be no effect on the game. From this we can see that it is not the fact the items are dupes thats makes the game possibly respond differently.
