I've been collecting my Supply Caches since 2018, until the day I earn an Ultra Rare Supply Cache (excluding event rewards), which happened today on my 185th Supply cache :

So spoiler alert : Here are my findings.

Supply cache type :
- 121 common supply cache : 65.5%
- 43 uncommon : 23%
- 20 rare : 11%
- 1 ultra rare : 0.5%

The actual drop rate might be :
- Common supply cache : 66%
- Uncommon : 22%
- Rare : 11%
- Ultra rare : 1%

Common supply cache :
- worst : 1k Cbills
- Best : Targeting Computer MK VII worth 140k
- Special : Black & white decal or 50k Cbill compensation for duplicate (no color decals available)

Uncommon supply cache :
- worst : 1k Cbills
- Best : Srm6+artemis worth 260k
- Special : Black & white decal or 50k Cbill compensation for duplicate (no color decals available)

Rare supply cache :
- worst : A cheap equipment or weapon (no 1k Cbills available)
- Best : Weapon worth 600k (lrm20, er-ppc, gauss riffle...)
- Specials : Color decal, peace necklace, lump of coal, banner, dreamcatcher, duct tape, sparkling wine, gazelle, dog tag... (no warhorns)

Ultra Rare supply cache content :
- Uncommon : 1 day premium
- Uncommon : Color decal (Edirani light horse - 71st light horse decal)
- Common : 10,000 GXP
- Rare : Dog tag (not a warhorn ?)

Time to go spend my 1 day premium, see you next Ultra Rare supply cache

I have had 6 Ultra Rare...so I think the RNG Gods were not kind to you.... The items in the Ultra Rare made me laugh tho. However with that said, its free stuff and its like opening presents on Christmas from Relatives who don't like you but are forced to bring you a gift

[JediPanther]

Just stock pile it and sell it off for massive c-bill boost. I had a pile of 40 flamers get me some nice upgrades to some mechs.

Well initially they needed a key to open and their content was mostly crap (except for some mechs, mechbays and MC).
Then they didn't need a key, the Ultra Rare dropped ~every week, and although no more mechs there was 400MC and mechbays.
Then at the same time PGI made the Ultra Rare become Ultra rare (like 1 in over 8 months for me), but also made their content mostly crap...
So we're back to the starting point, except that you get a lot less chance to be disappointed by a top box, and that now that top box it's a ~guaranteed disapointment.
Basically Supply Crates, even the Common ones, remain a great addition for new players short on Cbills.

0 from the Ultra Rare supply cache(s), up to 2 from the Rare, up to 3 for the Common and Uncommon.

So that's somewhere between 0 and 532 new launchers.

I've got a lot I'm going to open soon enough, and this is what I'll be tracking. Specifically LRM5's and SRM2's with artemis. Its ABSURD how common they are in those things.

[Red Potato Standing By]

I seem to get a lot of targeting computers

[Joshua McEvedy]

I usually get SRM-2s + Artemis.

An LB10X in an ULTRA RARE cache. PGI acting like we are literally role-playing 3025 and we should be some broke mercenary on the periphery leaping for joy.

An LB10X is only an "Uncommon" (meaning half-common) item of an Ultra Rare cache.

What would be great is an "Ultra Rare" item of an Ultra Rare cache.

[Scout Derek]

If I could still sell them I would.

[Prototelis]

God that mario paint music.

Should have used the save music tho, missed opportunity.

[Warning incoming Humble Dexterer]

Ultra Rare supply cache content :
- Common : 10,000 GXP
- Uncommon : LB 10-X AC
- Uncommon : Horse decal
- Rare : Lump of coal (winter is coming)

To be fair, even the most common supply cache is typically worth over 50k c-bills now that you get 4 prizes instead of one, so you wouldn't want to sell any of them anymore.

[Warning incoming Humble Dexterer]

Ultra Rare supply cache content :
- Rare : Std engine 185
- Rare : Peace necklace
- uncommon : Bad dream color decal
- Common : 400MC !!!

Is it possible to simply "sell off" a Supply Cache for some fixed price without opening it?

Already answered above : Quad-time supply caches are free to open, fast to open, and always contain well more then 50k cbills worth of resell items...

And I just confirmed the Ultra Rare supply cache can contain MC.

Okay, then.

[Warning incoming Humble Dexterer]

It took 4 months, but here's the new Ultra-Rate Supply Cache after :
- 17 common supply cache
- 12 uncommon supply cache
- 3 rare supply cache
- 1 ultra-rare supply cache

Content of the ultra -rare supply cache :
1) 1 day premium time
2) FRR banner cockpit item
3) Clan wolf decal
4) 400 MC

I don't need that banner and I already have the color decal, but that's excellent ultra-rare supply cache content, thanks PGI

[Nearly Dead]

Been playing since mid December. One ultra rare. Since I open them when I get them I have no idea how many I have had so I can't help compute the odds. Played around 1200-1300 hours. Was a nice haul though IIRC.
