My brother and I both opened an Ultra Rare lootbox yesterday. We both got 400 MC. That's the second one I've got this week that gave 400 MC. If you've got a bunch of them sitting in your inventory, open them up. If you don't have tens of millions of C-bills, you can sell the extra weapons and gear that add up in your inventory and those will help pay for some of the consumables you use.

Meant that if it was actually “Common”, as in having the possibility of it showing up in one of the five “Common” Supply Caches I’m not bothering opening. Have one Ultra Rare, but last time I opened one I believe I got “Common” 1k CBills. OOOOOOOOH! Plus the three Solaris ones I know will give me tusks and some other lame crap, just like 7 of the last 8 I opened.

Also, sitting on 193,000,000 CBills. So no problem there. Been wasting some on trying mechs, including leveling them with the free GXP I got from Solaris season end. Then immediately dumping them because they underperform my current ones. Maybe if PTS 2.1 gets implemented....soon....I might try some others that are long overdue for mobility buffs.

How is this mechanic cancerous? It's free based on how much you play? Some of you guys are hilarious and not in a good way.

When they were launched, they cost MC to purchase keys to open them, or they were given away in events. They changed to being free after many months.

Loot boxs are alot better now then they use to be. I open them as soon as I receive one. I'm all for free stuff.

Number of C-Small Lasers Bowelhacker has received from lootboxes: 1,000,000,000.

Would be cool if there was a camo or paint in there but I've got zero problem with some free junk.

I use them as a progress bar. Unlock a cache? Time to get up and do something else.

On the other hand I just opened a COMMON cache and I got this collection of junk!!

Forumites love to complain, so even when a definitely bad mechanic (the old lootbox system) is fixed and turned into basically free stuff, they log on to complain that the free stuff isn't good enough.

Gotten 2 or 3 Ultra rare crates post implementation, I haven't seen this common MC heck got a bunch of uncommons clan weapons that was in a pack of 3 or 4.
