Best way to get an orange weapon?

[Lycan]

Is the best way to get an orange weapon to try for T4 crate purchases?
Do they occasionally drop at Arkfalls or in Co-op missions?

I have an orange sawed off shotgun (which is fairly useless for my play style) i'm pretty sure I got it out of a crate.

There was a huge thread with people talking about the merits of buying T3 chests over T4 chests and a Mod/Dev replied that the T3 chests have a less than 1% chance to drop an Orange. Never said how much a T4 does but I've bought around 10 so far and have gotten 2 oranges out of them. I've never seen an Orange drop or be awarded from anything other than T4 chest. Not saying it's impossible, only that it seems pretty damn unlikely.

Best way is to go to Lowes and buy a can of orange paint.

Keep in mind, even people at 1000 ego are still only 1/5th of the way through. Just like "typical" MMOs you shouldn't really be concerned about getting ultra-rare drops until much closer to the endgame, as you'll just max out it's xp and stop using it after an hour or two anyway.

So, in short, dont' look for an uber-weapon now, even if you get it, it will suck.

In the live game I've gotten 3 orange items from tiers 4 boxes. So far not even a single purple from a tier 3. In beta however, I got an orange from the one and only tier 3 box I got and no oranges from the tier 4's. So from my personal experience I'm only getting tier 4's from now on.
