If you can't pay your rent cause u wanted all your money on a game, thats your fault not Alternativa's. Next time just go to the test sever and open em for free.

Honestly, he's just joking. Seriously though, what kind of goofhead would use up all their savings just for a few measly containers rather than use it to pay rent?

I wouldn't say "rigged". More along the lines of more quantity = more quality. Meaning that the more containers you have, the better your chances of getting something good are.

I've opened them 5-at-a-time and 15-at-a-time.  Pretty much same results.

When you look at DaringDeer's Container Project results, it's quite telling to see how many containers it takes to get highly valuable stuff like Premium, Augments, Skins, etc.

As an example, of the 2300+ containers opened, only 27(!) of them yielded a Hull Augment.  That's barely more than a 1% chance of getting any Hull Augment.  The odds are even lower to get the specific Hull Augment you need for your hull. 

And skins?  Heh, you're looking at a 0.43% chance to get one at all.

While we don't know the actual odds of each content, DaringDeer's projects suggests that the odds for getting the aforementioned super good stuff are very low.  So it's no wonder there will be cries of terrible/rigged containers.

Equip the lowest GS possible on your tank while opening containers.

Opened 24 Containers the other day. (3 I saved, 11 from the daily freebies for Tanki's Bday, 10 from winning Comic Captions)

I didn't get a whole lot of exciting things, just two alterations, Slugger and Remote Rocket Explosives. The rest were crystals and drugs (luckily only one set of mines)

You got 2 Alterations in 24 containers.  What do you expect?

I've opened ~ 70 containers since the alts were moved there and nada... zip... zero alts.

I've never gotten anything notable out of container except my beautiful and hot spark paint.

Does this actually help? Or troll because I forget to change after opening containers?

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Just got stun immunity augment for hornet on my Killer2_the_best account. My first hull augment ever by the way.

It does NOT.  Already tried that - same crap as always.

You don't already have enough DD, DA, etc?

F41TH said "worthy".   I would guess that implies augments, skins and things like Premium.

[E_polypterus 2,374]

Whenever I open a cont and if I see white color I hope I get either double speed or double armor. But I get mines. I get them unusually a lot(not always). It’s very frustrating at times, you complete all your weekly missions for nothing.

[wolverine848 13,097]

10 days of premium and a few augments in June during the Birthday celebrations. 

Well this is why you are lucky then - not the DA & DD.

And batteries are better than DA & DD because they are way harder to get.  Don't you have thousands of DA & DD?

I think my Marshall account has ~ 16k DD and 18k DA.

[wolverine848 13,097]

Just now, At_Shin said:

I have about 4.5k DA and DD, even more batteries and even more speed boosts and mines. 

I have 5k batteries. Don't need more coz I don't use drones.

Trust me - you will.

Hey you missed augments of the turrets and hulls you never play with (i mean aug for 'the all supply hull'? i didnt even buy it till than and high pressure pump for firebird? when i do freeze?)

[CaptainKiller 67]

What is the probability of getting an augments for those turrets / hulls that i never even bought?

No no, you should trust me, I will not use them. I will only use my drones if there's a special mission with decent rewards for completing it. But as such missions are extremely rare, I can tell you that I eill not use my drones.

?? You might as well use drones like Driver/Trickster since these do not consume any extra supplies other than batteries, and will still provide you with a sometimes noticeable advantage when playing.

Unless you're saving them to use them at Legend ranks, your stance makes no sense. 2-3k batteries is more than enough to keep in reserve for special missions and such, if I were you I would use drones to speedup the completion of missions etc. in MM.

My Driver drone is at level 5. I am gonna micro upgrade it up one step every sale. Trickster is a very tricky drone to use. Using it unwisely can result in wasting a few supplies on each battle. I would rather not use drones as I do well without them. 

Using drones adds another variable to my battle strategy- it makes me play in a way that would utilise the drone to its maximum potential. But, playing like that often does not workout for me and I get the same score as I would have got without using them.

Though driver works well for me, it is only at level 5, so there's no point in using it in normal battles.

For trickster, just go DA, then Speed Boost after 5 secs after spawning, and then u have DD available almost immediately, giving you almost full supplies straight out of spawn.

If you don't want to use a drone that makes you supposedly "change your gameplay", just use Sprinter and play as you normally would before, its especially useful in CP by giving you a free RK every time you cap a point.

Why not?  You have the batteries.

As you keep ranking up you will meet more and more enemies that use drones - many 24/7.

If you don't make use of something that powerful you will find it increasingly difficult to compete and get missions done.
