    Lockboxes, Tier 4 better than Tier 2?

    Ok, so speaking of Lockboxes, are chances for good loot better in the Tier 4 boxes than Tier 2?

    For 64 keys I can buy 1 Tier 4 which gives me "4 weapons of at least uncommon quality", but for 8 keys I get "2 weapons of at least uncommon quality", so for 64 I would get actually 16 weapons.
    So 4 times the weapons, for roughly 2.6 times the price in scrip.

    Seems like a good deal, unless the chance for purple/orange weapons is far higher on the Tier 4s.

    Does anyone know?

    This links to a spreadsheet where a collection of people are tracking the drop rates for lockboxes. I lost the forum link though to the thead.

    Really hard to say, I think it's "intended" that you have a higher chance at a higher price.

    I bought about 20 each and I got 2 oranges from t4s and 4 from t3s. I stick with t3s now. ^^
    When I was little, we found a man. He looked like, butchered. The old woman in the village crossed themselves... and whispered crazy things, strange things. "El Diablo cazador de hombres." Only in the hottest years this happens. And this year, it grows hot. We begin finding our men. We found them sometimes without their skins... and sometimes much, much worse. "El cazador trofeo de los hombres" means the demon who makes trophies of men.

    Interesting, I buy mostly tier four and have 4 orange weapons from tier four only. And everytime I decide to buy 3 tier three boxes instead I never get anything worth keeping. So I stick to tier 4 now. I usually at least get one weapon I can use for a while.

    After buying several T3 & T4 I "finally" got an Orange weapon from a T4. A pretty sweet assault rifle - altho I would of preferred a SAW - I'm still really happy it wasn't a crappy combat shotgun like my other Orange is (don't remember how I got it) but it is by far the weakest shotgun in my inventory. Has something like 12x8 damage...

    Anyway, back on point. After trying several T3s and not getting anything worth while I stick with T4 now which does give me a whole lot more Blue & Purple over the T3s which most of the time gives me green for all three weapons.

    Most white level shotguns you receive when you start the game have better damage than that.

    i'm sticking with t4 because i'm constantly out of space.
    Your Challenger won't drive? You're probably in the passenger seat.
    Can't sell/delete an item? Check all of your loadouts, it's likely still equipped.
    Auction house? Why? It'll just render bits purchased lock boxes pointless, and weapons are mostly equal anyway.
    Gear/enemy progression? No thanks, it'll only render 90% of the content trivial when you reach the highest zone.
