I'm convinced they are broken in some way, but no one will actually acknowledge that.
I bought 26 T4 boxes with bits back when they had the double bits sale. Cost me $50. Out of 26 consecutive T4 boxes, I received ZERO orange weapons. I couldn't believe it. I didn't expect a ton of them, but certainly expected at least a few. That's not much to ask. Instead, I learned never to buy bits for lockboxes again, and I haven't. Too bad, as I would have probably bought some every week for that purpose, but they blew it with that flat out robbery.
I now only open T3 boxes with what I can grind out - and have gotten a few oranges. If I had to guess, I would say one every 10-12 T3's, but that's just a guess. T4's really aren't worth it, especially since they contain green weapons, and cost so many more keys. I would suggest T3's - but if you really want orange weapons you have to get them from other players who hoard them and deal them on the forums here.
