has anyone got a charge blade out of a lockbox?

[Rizzlok]

Yeah, I'd say so. They noted that T4's have had the new charge weapons & blades added to them. So either roll the dice on T4 boxes, or get a guaranteed charge blade from the faction vendor by going through all of the arenas and getting those missions done.

welp i didnt buy the dlc so the grind option for me

Bought around 40 T4s now...nothing interesting...mostly greens as per usual. Now I have no SC but I do have 6 mill ark salvage...maybe I should build a space ship with it!

Anyways, I do have the rep orange blade but it's disappointing to know a purple one from a box is better...huh.

As a side note; these blades might look cool and fun to use but I find it's better just to use a gun instead at least for PvE since you get all those lovely extra stats + synergies + MUCH higher DPS + no need to go up and personal with mobs that love to chain stagger, KD, and or 1-2 shot me.

These weapons really need bonuses on them! Ego refresh on kill, stowed weapon reload, etc etc...why can't they have stuff like that? Lame!

Blades atm feel like a poor choice as a companion weapon over all.

Just in case you have not already done so, make sure to load some of your melee perks when using the CB.

I wasn't able to stay connected long enough to really do anything w/ dlc, but my son was, and after he loaded up some of the melee perks, he was decimating with his blade.

I got the purple one from the vendor after golding all the arenas, is the purple lockbox one better??

Only slightly. (VERY slightly) Check the pic I posted earlier in this topic.

The "light" damage is 8 higher (808 vs 800)
The "jump" damage is 15 higher (1515 vs 1500)
And for some reason it highlighted the "charge" damage on my purple as if it was higher, even though the damage for that stat is 129 higher on the orange vendor blade (2121 vs 2250)

I've found a pretty awesome combination is a charge blade and a low refresh time flash grenade.

Stun 'nade > hack stunned enemies to pieces > rinse & repeat

Even better if you have the +X% damage from behind perk because it's easy to get behind stunned enemies.

I got a legendary blade out of a T4 box 35 minutes after the servers went live...

I'm not very popular in the clan right now... lol

I got a purple castithan charge blade out of a tier 4 box. It has better stats than the orange one from the faction vendor.

But what would a legendary be then? 815 if found? LOL never understood the obsession with orange

@ Jbone yeah I got 20 of them in less than 10 minutes open only 4 box and finding three crayons.... seriously pics or fiction

Yeah, the difference between any of the charge blades in the game (lockbox or vendor, all rarities) isn't going to make any kind of significant difference in damage output really. The only real difference is that some have to slot for a blade color mod and some don't.

Although I have no idea if you can open that slot on the ones that don't have it from the start, like you can with the guns. Maybe you can?

I'm the same way, I'd want to see it also... I guess the 'colorful' sarcasm deserved it...
