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

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.
