16 T4 Lockboxes in a row: Blue, Blue, Blue, Green. Six. Teen. Times.

Its completely screwed up.....they said better chance with tier 4 now....BS....and believe me i would know....it has gotten worse since dumbload content....another lie....terrible company

I've switched to tier 3 today to see if that's screwed up or any better. Right now I'm getting blues and purples, so overall slightly better than tier 4 at the moment.

This is what I have noticed for some time now... which is why I don't even waste my time with T4 boxes anymore.

I've gotten a few oranges and purples. The problem I have is I only get weapons I don't like to use. I seem to only ever get shot guns, launchers, and a ton of infectors.
I like to stick with AR, LMG's, and SMG's.
Oh well, RNG's have always hated me.

Oh well, RNG's have always hated me.

RNG was very kind to me over on DCUO for Friday night league raids last night...

if by some miracle of the universe you do get an orange out of a lock-box in my experience most of the time it has been some weapon I never use or have useless bonuses anyway so I quit worrying a long time ago about the crap I get out of lock-boxes and have been perfectly happy using purple/blues with useful synergies and bonuses that have been much easier to find in the game

According to Trick's State of Defiance letter, we can expect this in the future

"Not only will we be working on the core balance of the base weapons, but we’ll be assuring that our rarity and mastery bonuses apply to each weapon they can appear on. Higher rarity weapons will always be accompanied with celebration and never disappointment."

I hope they get that part done soon, because I'm sick and tired of the rare orange weapon being a POS. Like yet another VBI Tacc Autopistol with no nano effect and the typical garbage "on revive other player" bonuses. Or another orange Birdshot Pump with no nano and a x1.05 mag bonus.

I too am cursed with the BBBG nearly every time I open a T4.

Purples are pretty rare for me and oranges are, well even rarer. :/

But I guess that's how it's supposed to be really. Though I hate that greens pop up in T4s, it's just something we gotta come to terms with.

When I was getting T3 lockboxes, I got one orange item for every million of ark salvage I spent on keys. Since I switched to T4 lockboxes, I'm getting two orange items per million ark salvage. I'm at like 18 orange items so far, and just today got one that has at least some stats that go well together. It's not perfect, but it's fun to play with for a Tachmag Pulser:

I just opened the ULTIMATE box of Disappointment the other night..

4 Identical Weapons... all of them FRC Bullrush Pistols.. a White, Green, Blue, and Purple..
Every one of them with NO SYNERGY bonus, every one of them with NO NANO, and the exact same stat bonus (1.15x reload).

Then turned around and on my next lockbox, popped an orange shield and 3 purple guns.

This game is RNG at it's finest some days, and let me tell ya boys and girls.. RNG isn't just short for "Random Number Generator".. but it's also the acronym for Rapid Nasty Gifts... Ruining No-ones Game... or my personal favorite.. Rhino's Now Given!

Enjoy!

from the beginning of the game I was doing mainly tier 2's and 3's
after much of the patching etc. I decided to start with a few tier fours and my first squirted out an FRC Saw
(that I sold in ten minutes lol) and since then... nothing so I guess it's really all timing.
tier 3's have always been my favorite they seem to cough up the oranges
far more often then the other tiers (for me anyway)
