Best award I got was the Gxp 5,000. But thats it. Other stuff is mech parts and weapons. Not even a decal. I unlocked over 100 already and thats My story.

[Ertur]

I got a rifleman once.

[Lorcryst NySell]

I managed to get the 30 Caches from the Quickplay event (that Tournament Supporter Package is probably the best 10 bucks you can spend on the game right now), and out of those 30 Caches I got two Rare items (Star Burst decal and Yard Sale warhorn), two Uncommon items (10 pack of Coolshots and IS Gauss Rifle) and the 26 others were Common items (mostly , a few and some omnipods/weapons).

Still no Ultrarare for me, but I'm happy.

I've open over 100 also. No mechs and there are two other things that bug me. They have things that are "common", "uncommon", "rare" and "ultra rare". I often want the "common" thing which in the two Caches I'm about to open(for the heck of it) are 25 MC or $250,000 C-Bills. But I'm sure I will get a 14th C-PPC. (and yes, I got more crap)

The second thing is how it will slow down and almost stop on the Mech....and then it will go one more and I get another large laser.

I do not know of a 3rd world Casino with such bad odds. In the old West, people would be shot over this BS.

Hey thanks for recognizing my favorite comedy -- funniest movie of all time! Amazingly my kids agree.

I just discovered the "skip" key in the supply cache spin. Was it always there? I feel stupid that I never saw it before. You can click that if you are about to get something useless and you get the next item. I hope its new or I have wasted a lot of supply caches by not using it.

"Skip" button remove animation only, it's not for "next thing after this" but for not wasting time for the useless 5 seconds carousel to get useless "prize".

As for the topic - yes, some people got rare items, as it happens in lottery sometimes.

[Prof RJ Gumby]

I'm very careful about opening crates, sell most of them. Still, you can call me jinxed. Won two mechs. First was Vindicator 1AA, and the second one was... a Vindicator 1AA

And yes, I already got that one, so now I have 3 1AA variants of the worst mech in the game.

[Damnedtroll]

Got a is 400xl ! that's the best thing i got and sold it... little bit of anything, mostly srm4, medlaser and right kit-fox arms...

[Spangle]

Just opened 111 Caches and rarest thing I got was 1,000 MC

It was like it knew what MC I'd won and when I was about to hit MC I paid for it gave me some "free"

You actually won an Ultra Rare item with that 1000 pack ...

[Serpentine Shel Serpentine]

Hey that's like $4 or $5 depending on the package so PGI bought you a coffee at Starbucks! Pretty impressive win I would say ������

So far I think only 2 respondents said they won a mech (if I counted right), although one received the same mech twice. Not so bad since you can sell most mechs for more that 1 million C bills -- I would be happy with duplicate mechs.

Personally I think they should give us as one prize SP to allocate as you wish. But GXP and C-bill prizes, which are fairly common top prizes, indirectly serve that purpose already.

[Steelcrystal]

Got a Rifleman in a cache the other day. I've probably opened over a hundred caches at this point, and aside from that mech I've only ever gotten like one or two other yellow items.

[Sherudon]

The drop rate for items is ridiculously low, people opening 10-20 boxes and getting excited over getting a decal or a mech bay.

Never seen nor heard of anyone winning a mech, I wonder how many mc people spent on boxes that did actually get one, the cost of the mech to begin with?

Best i've got is a mech bay myself and that was only a few days ago.

[D V Devnull]

Hmm... I might as well chip in... Looking back at the things I've received from Supply Caches, I've gained some Mech Bays, (MC) in 50/500/1000 (I've really been thankful for those big ones, as it cost a bit to land up getting one!) chunks, some (C-Bills) to utilize and GXP to go with, and a whole bunch of extra Weaponry and OmniPods. However, I can't remember if I ever got any Cockpit Items to place... and sadly no Decals.

[Lorcryst NySell]

I cannot speak for others, of course, but personnaly I bought ONE pack of 10 Keys when the Cache were first introduced, and over the course of several events I've won more, as well as getting some in the Caches I opened.

I've won several times the 250 that that first pack cost me (and those first were rewards from events too), so all in all I spent nothing and gained lots.

Yes, I never got a 'Mech out of the 100+ Caches I've opened.

But since those are basically a side-effect of playing the game, I consider it a win.

[Serpentine Shel Serpentine]

In this unscientific poll, three out of approximately 30 posts said they had received a mech (one of those more than one). So that seems surprisingly good odds. If there is a selection bias (in who posts their results) I cannot guess which way it leans.

Small addendum to my earlier post... I've also never earned any New Mechs from Supply Caches.

[Burning2nd]

MC primo time, other unlock keys, mechbays

not a mech yet.. but keep spinning... @ this point its free... i won that like 25 free keys last time.. and put them all back in to return more keys and premo time and mc

[aGentleWarrior]

Yesterday I had the chance to get a mech (forgotten which) but i won:



HOLD ON

SRM2 + ARTEMIS

[Arkhams Sabre]

I've gotten a few mech bays. No mechs though.

I also know that it's a lock to win premium time if your intent is to log out after opening the cache.

[Akillius]

I got a centurion and 2 mech bays in first month or two when supply caches came out but none since.

For example I opened 60 supply caches after "Double XP Weekend!" event and best I got was: 1 warhorn, 50mc, 7 days and 3 days of premium time, 280XL, and nearly 2m cbills. Otherwise its just junky small weapons/decals/equipment I even got CASE twice, oh yay...
