    Got a Purple from Tier 3, and a orange from Tier 4. I don't really think the tier matters but I do think that is does increase the probability of you finding something a little more than normal within the higher tiers. It is all luck based though so you are welcome to throw countless hours into farming lockboxes or you can simply get them when you get the chance.

    Example

    TIER----NUMBER OF CHANCES----COST----% CHANCE----OVERALL % CHANCE----RATIO OF COST
    --2-----------------2-------------------8-----------0.5-------------------1-----------------------1--------
    --3-----------------3------------------24-----------1.0-------------------3-----------------------3--------
    --4-----------------4------------------64-----------2.0-------------------8-----------------------8--------

    So the cost correlates to your overall percentage chance of getting a legendary perfectly, if the individual percentage chance follows the same ratio (T4 is 4 times greater than T2 and twice as big as T3).

    I got a legendary Grenade mod today from 2x Tier 3 lockboxes and even an epic shield too.

    Where did you get those % Chance numbers?

    pfft don't do that or else they'll just increase the cost of Tier 3 boxes, as opposed to lowering the cost of Tier 4 boxes... pfft don't you guys know business 101 here?

    i can vouch for the OP....tier 3 the 1st time buying one-LEGENDARY shotty......tier 4 i ended up buying 2 and got yellows and a purple(which wasnt better than my selected assault rifle and not worth shtako as far as scrip). second tier three i get a purple that IS worth something(a shield with high capacity AND a quick recharge cooldown)

    after the serious bugs and server issues this needs to be addressed

    The highest tier I've gotten out of all the lockboxes (2-4) I've brought so far is purple.

    I also went and brought 8 tier 2 boxes to see what I got. I ended up with 9 greens, 6 blues, and 1 purple. So with my luck, I probably would have been better off getting tier 3's. This is a small sample size, so take it as you will.


    What does everyone think of trying to get a small project going where people can enter what they get from each tier of lockboxes, and with enough data, we might be able to see what the drop rates are like?

    I have a feeling the data would be useless without also tracking EGO, which I suspect affects the chances of getting a more rare drop. I hate RNG.
    My forum handle "Skeety" was selected to associate with an internationally respected sport. Flying Arkfall bugs are even more fun!
