So you start with all common, right?

But say you stack like 10 unopened, do they become uncommon?

And if you leave even more...

Do they become rare... ultra rare... and finally legendary? (I don't know if last one is a thing, but yea...)

I get that impression somewhere that that's how supply cache works now... but it doesn't make sense to me...

Pretty sure they're random.

Huh??? What cache you win is common, uncommon, rare, etc. Why would holding onto them longer have any barring on their rarity? They cant become something different...and they aren't bottles of wine, my good man!

Like I got the impression that they are a leveling system, so like the more you accumulate, they turn into a rarer one. or something like that...

seems there are different tiers of caches. some give better stuff than others. the ones you get for solaris always seem to have bolt ons, the ones you get in qp/fp seem to have dekkles. there also seems to be a rare cache that gets you cool stuff (i think thats where i got the 400mc from).

the ones you get from solaris might get better the more accolades you collect. i havent gotten deep enough in to tell, but it seems you need more points to unlock the next one so it stands to reason that they get rarer the further up the accolades bar you get. at least in theory.

They should improve with age.. like wine

[eminus]

I don't think supply cache is like a whisky or a wine, the longer you leave it the better it will taste LOL

There's too much salt in the whine for that.

Noticed that finishing off the first level in each division gives you ones that have bolt-ons. Having finished of the 2nd level for Div1 through 3, that doesn’t remain the fact. All three were either common or uncommon. So not sure if they get better as you progress. Going to try and focus getting the 3rd level done for Div2 to see if it gets better.

Same goes for QP ones. Grinded my way through getting three. So far, only Common or Uncommon. Lots of junk. Might get to unlock a fourth one with the daily events. After having to get 5 KMDD to secure the only win for the current event, after two more losses bacuse I couldn’t, not going to bother doing additional QP games to get it. Getting tired of having to core kill almost half the enemy team to get a win.

Don't get too excited about even the 'rare' ones. Got one the other day - said it had a guaranteed cockpit item. I'm thinking maybe I will get a decent warhorn out of it. Nope, got the 'lump of coal' along with 3 small (2-4) missile SRM launchers.

In terms of the Solaris ones with the bolt-ons, it's possibly better to wait a while to open them until bolt-on support for your favourite mechs is added to the game in future patches. Right now, whatever bolt-on you get from these crates will be limited to those 8 or so mechs that actually support bolt-ons at the moment. So waiting longer should in theory give you a chance at more mechs, UNLESS the cache's contents were already fixed the moment you received it (I'm not sure when their system does the actual RNG roll to determine what's in it).

[razenWing]

you know, someone of you, rather than being pen15es, either can not reply, or simply point me to the correct perception and move on.

Again, how I thought was how it works was from rumors I heard from various people. I don't know if its true or not, as I never gotten anything other than greens. So I have no idea if rare is a thing... ultra rare is a thing... or how they were given.

Appreciate the info some people gave...

others...

F off.

[Gladiolix]

You get the rarity you get. Common, uncommon, rare or ultra rare. There is no leveling system to caches.

If you leave them long enough, wouldn't they become LosTech?

Supply cache is pretty much useless. Better off spending that MC on mech bay or a hero mech on sale.

MC's now have absolutely nothing to do with opening supply caches. You get them for free and you open them for free.
