I always wait for a first Ultra Rare Supply Cache before opening any, that way it gives me an idea on the odds of getting an Ultra Rare.

I'm now at 27 and still no Ultra Rare...



Are you more lucky?

[thievingmagpi]

you'll probably just get a lrm5 or something anyway

[Mumuharra]

The old caches sometimes really had some fine prices.
I got various XL engines.
The new caches are pure crap for me.
Not even worth a look.

I got an FRR decal

only your current faction.

[thievingmagpi]

oh its some lore **** lmao

[LordNothing]

i got more useful stuff from the old skool caches. while its nice that you can win dekkles and boltons, i think there needs to be a lot more diversity in prizes. how many lrm5s do i need? maybe some mrms or a gauss rifle every now and again.

Had an Ultra rare recently that gave me 400MC.

After how many you think?

[Rhialto]

Just for the record, before those 27 it took 15 to get my first Ultra Rare.

Breakdown was:

8 Common
4 Uncommon
2 Rare
1 Ultra Rare

At first sight I thought it was mathematical, now I realize it's not.

[GeminiWolf]

I got one last week, so they are still in game. Sorry for your luck on getting one brother.

[ZaRyume Mukeiyu]

Yeah, I just got another Ultra Rare today after maybe at least a few dozen useless caches. Even better that it also gave me the 400 MC pick. Since this revamped cache system, out of maybe 7 Ultra Rares out of almost a hundred regular caches, that's 4 of them with MC for me. It's a real pain of RNG, but at least it's not as bad as other lotteries in other games. I remember fondly in War Thunder about the amount of times the roulette is rigged to tease you with a million lions or better just to stop on a measly 1000 lions instead or worse. Every, single, time.

Interesting, that's almost the same stats as my 1st batch. Kinda twice of each level.

Now that I ask, I guess my next one will be an Ultra Rare. :-) Let's see...

Really hard to say. I may only have had 2 total since they changed the system.

So that’s what, about 60% common, 25% uncommon, 10% rare, 5% ultra rare? Give or take a bit. Might be set to 55% common, and the others a little better, but I have a feeling they’d round to fives.

[Prototelis]

Don't think I've ever gotten an ultra rare under this system.

With the old system I got 1000 MC out of the very first cache I opened. Got lots of modules for skills I didn't have too.

PS, PGI whats up with throwing out some ultra rares as event rewards? Can that be done?

[- World Eater -]

I think I've only had one since the new system started.

[MechaBattler]

The fact thievingmagpi had no clue the FRR is the faction he is currently in. Speaks to how little lore is represented in this game. I really hope PGI steps up their lore game with MW5. : /

Well I suppose modders will probably fix it after launch. Assuming they can.
