I can confirm Magmas Shields will drop q8 white in normal mode Hells Precipice, as I personally had a Q8 STR AR16 white Magmas Shield drop from a foe in the middle of the mission. I don't believe chest have any q8 magmas chances at all. I don't know the rules for white vs blue drops, but I can 100% confirm that around 2015 a white q8 ar16 dropped in NM, which has left me suspecting possibly that q8 blue could drop. Traded the shield away years ago, and often regret it not being in my collection.
Any fellow nerds want to provide insight as to whether something can drop in white or blue based off what rules? I know beyond doubt white q8 is possible, which suggest if there's no difference between white/blue dropping, then there is a possibility q8 magmas shield is possible with mods.
