    For the level that is bull. You get legendaries before lvl 200 I have had 3 or 4 of them.

    I've gotten a legendary pistol from one, but I've also gotten legendary items from the other two as well. I'd say they all have the same chance to give the same loot.

    At the cost of 48 keys you get 6 chances at loot, and at the cost of 64 keys you get 4 chances at loot?

    After experimenting at trying them out myself I found absolutely NO difference between the quality of items found in the tier 4 lockboxes and the tier 3 lockboxes.

    Bought 5 Tier 4 lockboxes and 5 tier three lockboxes. Same average quality of items, EXCEPT the tier three lockboxes reward FAR FAR more loot!

    In fact someone else running this same experiment got their first legendary item from, you guessed it a TIER 3 LOCKBOX and NOT from a tier 4 lockbox!

    I REPEAT TIER THREE LOCKBOXES REWARD LEGENDARIES SO WHAT IS THE POINT IN WASTING METRIC SHTAKO TONS OF KEYS ON TIER 4's?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    How in the name of the golden diapered baby jeebus did this make it through alpha and beta testing?!?!?!?

    Is this working as intended in an attempt to encourage people to dump cash into the game to buy keys to purchase more boxes or has it just been bypassed for the past year of testing?

    The only crafting system, and the main way to get the best loot is broken? Through Alpha AND through beta?

    This is 100% completely unacceptable in any way shape or form.

    This needs serious attention urgently!

    And reading the tooltips on the boxes it mentions NOTHING absolutely NOTHING about having higher chances of better gear through the more expensive boxes.

    TL;DR Buy tier three lockboxes, collect legionaries ???? profit.

    I bought three tier to Lockboxes and got 2 legendary items as well as three blue items and one green first three I ever bought.so from what I can tell the tear to lock boxes are your best buy

    I've won 2 orange weapons from 1 Tier 4 box, the first T4 I opened had 1 orange, 2 purple, 1 blue. I've seen a lot of these posts as I'm trying to find better items, at least to change things up a bit.

    I've opened maybe 5 T2 boxes, I've never found anything but greens in them, occassionally a blue.

    I've opened over 5 T3 boxes and no oranges, a lot of greens, few blues, rarely a purple.

    It's completely luck, the second lockbox I bought since starting the game was one with 2 oranges inside. The only reason I'm trying the others now is because of posts like this, but I feel like I should just save up and buy the T4s. Even if they don't give a rare every time, and you get less items for more, usually they are better. (Blue+) I get enough greens from.. everything else in the entire game. I haven't seen anything but grenades and shields on Arkfall events, I'm almost at EGO 1000 now and I have not been rewarded with anything but shields and grenades, from completing the event, destroying crystals, or from the creatures. I was told that's just how it is. I've only found blues from other drops, like in Co-Op maps, maybe 1 blue per 100 green/white.

    I don't need more loot, I need to be able to find the items I want. I have over 100K salvage pieces from deleting all the random garbage everything rewards me with. My opinion, just buy the T4, take the better chances, have patience. You can get green/blue/purple from everything else apparently, but only lockboxes drop orange items, from what I've experienced, so why not take the higher % instead of more loot you can get anywhere. The last T3 I bought gave me all greens, very disappointing. I'll play with it some more and see how it turns out.

    Sadly there isn't any real way to communicate/trade on this game, so I ended up selling all of the oranges I found, I didn't like the weapons but I would have been happier trading, or even giving them away.

    Does anyone know about attachments, can you find legendary? Are lockboxes the only place to get good ones? I've found like 3 blues since I've started, not for the guns I want to use, of course. I've found a handful of greens but mostly the normal white ones.


    Oh and here is a chart I found on another thread about drop rates... I have no idea how 'concrete' it is.

    I've only ever won oranges from Tier 4. I did a week long thing where I only bought Tier 3 after hearing that the rates work out to be better since 3 lockboxes VS 1, so after an entire week of it, bought two tier 4's and bam, two oranges.

    From my point of view ure a lucky man. I finished main quest around ego 600 and then only grinded Keycodes, every bit of Archsalvage was going in to Keycodes to. I think i opened over 50 tier4 and 50 tier3 and not got any legendary. It is possible that this game has a bad RNG (Random Number Generator) that is based on some think on the line of the Charakter or Account Name and bugged like many thinks here.

    I invisted to mouch time tring to get a Orange out of boxes, wiith the high possibility to be bugged out. So only cassual play for me and i will not buy any dlc until i see a orange out of a box.

    >.> i've still not gotten my Castithan blade, so i will keep hitting the T4 until i get one, all this after getting a good amount of responses that the T4 is the box to hit, for a Castithan blade....

    *cough*

    this coming from someone, who does not frequently hit lockboxes, just when i think "hey maybe it is a good idea to hit a box today".

    *cough*

    I seem to recall that the blades *only* come from the T-4 version of the lockboxes.
    If that's true, I wouldn't want you to unwittingly waste keys on lower tiers.

    In the last week or 2, I have pulled nothing but blues from t4 boxes. (25-30 guestimate).
    the last 2 days I bought t3's and pulled alot of greens, but quite a few purples as well. No oranges in either. in fact I've only gotten 2 oranges out of boxes since I started playing (a shotty and a frc launcher).
    So In any case, at least for me, the orange drop rate sucks horribly from boxes, and the purple drop rate has gone down dramatically in the t4's.
    I can't say it's useless to try, what else am I going to spend my green on?

    Danke
    I hate to post on something that was dead for so long but since Im not the one who resurrected, I get ojs from all boxes in spurts. Bought 50 t4 didnt get jack went to t3 didnt get jack went to t2 got a shield a spanner and a nade. then pulled a sniper from a t3, pulled 2 something dont remember from one t4 box. Its all random. Some people are certainly luckier than others but I believe as long as you keep trying different boxes and different locations you will get your lucky day... some day.

    Got 1 orange after opening 14 tier4 lockboxes (since I came back) and about 3 epics in total. then I swapped to Tier3 and I got 3 oranges and more epics, mainly due I'm able to buy more lockboxes thus increasing my changes.

    "IF" you say so Derpy and the fact i am oddly cute-ly attracted to you, i will keep hitting the T4, when ever i decide to hit a lock box.
