Farming MA-X Angelus-0 for Magitek Suit V2 (MV2) Guide

Introduction
RNG
RNG is a game term that is an acronym for "random number generator". Random number generators (or, more correctly, pseudorandom number generators) are algorithms used in computing when an outcome needs to be as random as possible.
Many people has experienced and voiced an opinion of the following:
- If you spawn MA-X Angelus, you'll be able to spawn him a second and third time in a row.
- If you spawn MA-X Angelus, you'll be able to spawn him a second and third time within X attempts.
- If you get your first MV2, you'll be able to get the rest easier.
Unfortunately, I'd like to start it off by breaking it out to you that you CANNOT predict RNG. RNG has no significant values nor statistic values thus you cannot predict it. There is nothing you can do, which will effect a higher chance of RNG working in your favor. You CANNOT change RNG thus it is computed to work a value of it's own in it's own accord. For example, from personal experience - I'll use my own experience vs other people's experience according to what I've seen on Reddit.
- Note: I've farmed over 36+ MV2's, so if I may be so vague to say that I've experienced all the RNG there is to MA-X Angelus farming without coming off as a boast but simply giving you my experience, so don't misunderstand!
Spawning
The highest amount of reloads I've taken to spawn an Angelus is no less than 10 - There are people who has taken way over an hour or so of reloads to spawn a single Angelus, unfortunately, that is COMMON to them.
MV2 Drop-rate
It's so random on my end, I can't even give you a viable number. But recently, I've been farming MV2 and luckily, I've got one MV2 per night. I've had my fair sghare of experiencing killing over 30+ Angelus for a single MV2. My highest kill rate for a single MV2 is well over 140+.
The non-existent values of RNG is different for everyone. One may feel like RNG is a 75% and the other may feel that RNG is significantly lower than that of 5%. Please understand that you cannot predict RNG nor can anything you do change RNG. You cannot do anything to improve RNG as it's an algorithm made to be as random as possible. There has been many talks in regards to RNG, many people has given their share of experience with what they do to get Angelus to spawn, or what they do to get an MV2 drop - NOTHING you do can dictate the success of your farming as long as RNG is included in what you are doing.
- If you get your first MV2, the other 11 will be a lot easier.
- If you spawn one Angelus, you'll easily spawn the next few.
Conclusion
This is a psychological cover-up, because you get one single MV2, you're mentally motivated to continue the farm of 12x MV2's. It's all psychological rather than you actually working a method to tweak RNG thus RNG is not able to be tweaked but you may well experience a change psychologically because of your experience of getting something you've worked so hard for thus motivation comes along. It's all in the human brain to process. RNG remains RNG, psychological side of things is not related to RNG. This also applies to spawning the MA-X Angelus rather than just the MV2 Drop Rate alone.
Now that we've thoroughly explained what RNG is and how RNG works, I had felt the need to express that topic because many, many people had the wrong idea of RNG, in ways of being able to tweak such a random computed non-existent value.
Let's begin with the actual comprehensive guide in regards to MA-X Angelus!
- Note #1: MA-X Angelus only spawns during post-game
- Note #2: Many people had felt like you need to kill MA-X Patria to spawn Angelus. I cannot confirm this but I had killed MA-X Patria to spawn MA-X Angelus in 3/5 of my playthroughs, so it doesn't hurt to kill it. To spawn Patria, you need to clear waves of Magitek Engines until Patria spawns.
- Note #3: I recommend at least getting all MV1's which is 100% 12 kills to get 12x MV1's before you proceed. Unless you plan to strictly spend days farming for V2's, then ignore this note.
