I give up with Lockboxes. Any suggestions to help here?

enlighten please.

Sounds like one of those scam email advertisements XD. Send me 10k script and I can show *YOU* how to get your very own ORANGE ITEMS! Limited time offer, etc.! =P.

Taking the mick a little bit, but I would be curious as well.

Don't bother.... it's either A - Total BS or B - Lucky Streak or C - It Works but Trion will F with the Lockbox rates again (See Patch 1.024) rendering it useless.

Oooh, how much do I have to pay to get Lucky Streak? =D

But yeah, I've started to just buy T3 lockboxes, more stuff to salvage that way XD.

At least your lock boxes work, I can spend the keycodes, but I get literally nothing. No pop ups and nothing new in inventory.

This has happened to me. 4 times in fact. 3 during this past
LOOT DROP weekend (laughs, story for another time) and 1
time last night. I have also been given the Exact SAME gun several
times.. from the same roll. Sometimes they may be different
colors.. but a VBI SMG with no nano, any synergy, and no
MOD slots open.. on both.. is the same gun. :\

I haven't got a Orange in over a 1000 ego. I roll numerous
boxes, 3 and 4's, from different locations (as I vendor browse)
Only to just end up spending more time in the salvage matrix.
**Sighs** "Would you like to break this weapon down?"

It ought to be a new perk in the 2nd/exclusively upper echelon perk package that you get access to at >E-2500.

Got my 3rd Orange last night. Canker, Auto-Lobber, and a Rebound Lobber...

I suggest people stop focusing so much on oranges and play with the stuff they already have. Build up salvage, get to know the weapons, even the base weapons, and get xp on them. Along the way be surprised when you do get an orange, especially if it's good, or by the purples you can get that are often just as good or better.

If anything, getting an orange weapon (even a good one) is a waste until you are max skill, better to use anything other than oranges to level up as they cost 25k ark salvage to reset exp bar.. too expensive to do many times. Everything else costs less, purples are a tad expensive on 10k, but I can't resist using them to lvl up.

Have to max them all out at least once to see what weapon mastery bonus is.

Great advice, you never know when there might be a great XP bonus. Unless the existing bonuses are just THAT bad anyways.

Lockbox system sucks, I'm level 3600+ and 90% of my gear is from vendors... That's sad.
