Mythical Items

[Crokeii]

Convinced that mythical items aren’t in field lockers. I opened 296 CONSECUTIVELY and not a single one. Although, I did get 2 knife shaders and both were exotic. I averaged one exotic every 20-40 boxes.

It is quite rare for me to obtain a NEW common, uncommon, and rare.

So, the only items I look for are exotic and mythical items. Yet, these items are so incredibly rare in lockers that it makes even opening these lockers pointless.

There is no work to get these items as one could get enough currency to buy these items in just a FEW games making the rarity of these items pointless.

One could argue that it’s a good thing that it’s easy to make one’s Predator or Soldier cool, but with the repetitive nature of the game one of the few things I look forward to is grinding to get one of these items to make my character look cool.

I don’t think you’ll really like hearing this but the mythical items are definitely in the game…they’re just EXTREMELY rare. At this point I’d say I’ve opened over 3000-4000 boxes and got maybe 3 mythical rarity items in that time. The majority of them were mythical helmet skins and one was the Viking Axe. I’ve opened a few of the Exotic knife skins along the way too, but those are still pretty damn rare.

There are loads and loads of Exotic items in the game and still a whole bunch of Mythic as well. That means your chances of opening an exotic or mythic that you’d actually want is exceedingly rare. It seems like there isn’t anything in the loot system in terms of increasing your chances of getting new items versus duplicates…so that means even when you do finally open an exotic or even a mythic…there’s a high chance you already have it, even if you’ve unlocked everything.

Again I don’t know the drop rates or anything like that but just from some observation I’ve seen the same exotic weapon skin or exotic predator skin tone multiple times. I’ve even seen the same exotic knife skin come 2 times in about a 20 minute period. (and both were duplicates as I had opened the same skin the day before…see images below). Those sorts of things, although anecdotal, tell me it’s likely just purely random what you open from a box, in terms of both rarity and the actual item itself.

There are also a few other things here that are off to me. First of all I really don’t mind it taking a while to unlock the coolest or best of the exclusive or hidden items. That makes sense for it to be a certain amount of time or require a certain amount of game play achievements to unlock. However, the loot / credit system as it stands now is basically broken. After you’ve opened a few hundred boxes and hit level 100, you have enough money to just keep buying boxes and making enough back from duplicates to buy even more boxes. It’s an infinite loop of loot boxes with seemingly no system in place to increase your chances of getting the super rare or hidden items. That just leaves us with using an auto-clicker and idling the PC while we cross our fingers. There’s got to be a more fun way to hide / unlock the rare items.

Haha, this just happened 5 minutes ago. Very frustrating!
