Some curiosity about the level of "random" in the caches has been brought up in a couple of other threads.

If you would be so kind as to take screenies of your caches and posting them here we might glean some knowledge.

If, for instance, there are mechs in most of the caches, then we will at least know that the odds of getting a mech is not 1 in 8, it's most likely much lower odds than that...say 1 in 500.

I don't have any, not having played yet, but my friends migh get some tonight while we are losing playing.

we already KNOW that it is not 1:8. the patch notes on supply caches directly states that more valuable items are rarer... unlocking a cache will not grant you a rare item as often as a common sellable commodity.

What we don't know is the odds scale. If we assume a linear correlation between MC value and odds, and then compare with (a lot) real world opening data.... possibly we could grind out some rough probabilities.

It's going to be harder because the contents of supply caches are basically one-off unique. We could certainly get an idea of expected return per opening however.

They all seem to be pretty similar. Mine looked like the first image with the Highlander IIC in it. I got the EBJ Side torso.

  • 3 Days Premium
  • (IS) ER PPC
  • Sensor Range Module
  • 5,000 GXP
  • 'Mech Bay
  • (C) Gauss Rifle
  • Sonic Boom
  • (IS) SRM-4



For 200 MC, that's pretty good stuff. Mechbay alone is 300MC. Lucky you.

You won 250k mc?
Mc as I'm the stuff you have to pay to get?

If true, fantastic deal!

Has it ever been said that caches are randomly made? Couldn't the caches be set but what you actually end up getting is random since you spin for it?

My concern over this crate stuff is that none of us would ever want to spend MC on a weapon. Weapons are nothing bits so why would I spend real money on something that I can buy in the span of a game or two (about 15 minutes)? It feels like they should take out weapons and modules and replace them with colors, decals, and camouflage.

They feel, since they have C-Bill consumable you can buy, it`s a great value what you get in the box, if you sell it, compared to simply buying the C-Bill consumable. By a small margin.

It`s criminal.
