Nah, you don't get anything more from mostly difficult encounters only penalizied. Case and point, Rangers, absurd high hps, armor that doesn't drop pretty low gear (h&k caws?, fn?, supa flamer yeah!). Risk doesn't correspond with reward. If your looking for fn's farm raiders. Oh and just try to find plasma grenades now? good luck, all you whiners won on that. Looking for 10 mil smgs? Hub patrol is your answer and if you can kill those solo, you really don't need the 10mm smg do you? This season is all about toilet camping and hth melee trolling, not exactly what everybody was hoping for.
