just opened 5x T4 boxs all green and blue minus the 1 purple (Flash gren)
Can you give us the percentage chances of legendary drops from each tier of lockbox please?Quote:

I dunno about this. I had the same idea, but on my first tier 4 box, I got an orange weapon. I've never gotten one from a tier 3.

What contracts are and how they tie into the factions, as well as the existence of faction reputations, are all covered in the "help" tab of the Intel window. It's not that the information's not there, it's that you didn't find it. Really, the Help tab has lots of information on nearly everything, including (especially) stuff that isn't directly covered in in-game tutorials.Quote:

- It's all about getting legendaries, not epics
At rank 370 I received two oranges out of a T4 box.
Keep up the good work in documenting kind sir, This is a very amazing stat right here. One orange our of 30 boxeish... thats very low, thats 1 out of 60. I know my friend on his first tier 4 got an orange, and when I tested tier 4 in beta, I bought 5 of them and got 3 oranges. I would like to see a similar breakdown of tier 3 as this guy did.Quote:

I like that the keys are limited, because that way you can buy lockboxes at low levels.
People should be posting their rank when buying the boxes. You may have a zero percent chance to get an orange below a certain level.
ow are you peple affording to buy so many lockboxes to begin with?
Seriously......too much time on ur hands
I always buy Tier 3 Lockboxes. Costs less keys than the Tier 4 and you can buy at least two of them instead of only one Tier 4.
Before this last time the server went down, I got an orange Detonator in the Tier 3 lockbox. My EGO was 500 and something when I bought it, IIRC.
Do lots of arkfalls and random events on the map to get keycodes. As for money, do arkfalls, look for minibosses and do quests.Quote:

Would really love to see an in depth response to this thread. Since character progression AND crafting all exist in the form of random chance item lock boxes it would seem paramount to have some hard solid numbers on the data regarding them legendaries bo diddly. I like orange loot, I like 4 slot unlocks, I like phat stats attributes and named weapons broskee!
I got my orange shotgun very early in the game. When I accidentally mass-claimed those lockbox rewards from arkfall codes/Steam/Gamestop bitcard.Quote:

You can just make a second character, no need to delete. There is an arrow under your character, click that and you can make a new one.
This. It's really basic statistics, so to make the higher tier lockboxes worth getting, the chance of getting a better grade drop needs to be representative of what we spent on it. I'd like to see an official response with actual figures on the drop rate.Quote:

Got a Purple from Tier 3, and a orange from Tier 4. I don't really think the tier matters but I do think that is does increase the probability of you finding something a little more than normal within the higher tiers. It is all luck based though so you are welcome to throw countless hours into farming lockboxes or you can simply get them when you get the chance.
Or simply, it lacks most basic things.Quote:

--4-----------------4------------------64-----------2.0-------------------8-----------------------8--------
So the cost correlates to your overall percentage chance of getting a legendary perfectly, if the individual percentage chance follows the same ratio (T4 is 4 times greater than T2 and twice as big as T3).
I got a legendary Grenade mod today from 2x Tier 3 lockboxes and even an epic shield too.Quote:

yea right now I have a orange rare gun for every type of weapon and for shotguns and smg I have three orange for each. if anybody wants any orange smg or shotguns hit me up on xbox 360 my gamertag is--- I CAMP ANYWHERE
i can vouch for the OP....tier 3 the 1st time buying one-LEGENDARY shotty......tier 4 i ended up buying 2 and got yellows and a purple(which wasnt better than my selected assault rifle and not worth shtako as far as scrip). second tier three i get a purple that IS worth something(a shield with high capacity AND a quick recharge cooldown)
after the serious bugs and server issues this needs to be addressed
The highest tier I've gotten out of all the lockboxes (2-4) I've brought so far is purple.
I also went and brought 8 tier 2 boxes to see what I got. I ended up with 9 greens, 6 blues, and 1 purple. So with my luck, I probably would have been better off getting tier 3's. This is a small sample size, so take it as you will.
What does everyone think of trying to get a small project going where people can enter what they get from each tier of lockboxes, and with enough data, we might be able to see what the drop rates are like?
I have a feeling the data would be useless without also tracking EGO, which I suspect affects the chances of getting a more rare drop. I hate RNG.:pQuote:
