Containers & Your Belief - Open 1, 5 or 15? [Poll]

[ILiveOnTheChatBox123 936]

I hear why you want to wait for 15 so you don't get duplicates of the same supply packs-but I just hate putting so much on one randomly generated click, so I just stick with 5.

Yeah, but the truth is, I've never opened 15 at a time before. I did once buy 50 containers, but for some reason, I decided to open them all one at a time. This was when containers were still relatively new. Looking back, it was a big mistake.

[ILiveOnTheChatBox123 936]

There certainly is some chance of getting something good when you open one at a time-but I'm sure your probability will go up if you open more together. I don't think Tanki meant it like that, its just how their randomly generated system works.

Personally, opening 15 is more fun. It seems that opening 15 is luckier too.

I hate it when YTers open 5 or worse yet, 1, at a time, super boring.

I opened the 15 green containers that I had on an alt and the best prizes I got out of it was approximately 35k crystals in total and a shaft shot effect.

I believe opening more in one time gives more chance but only when you get a higher tier early on (because it generates the same tier or higher onwards) My best reward though was when opening 1 container (1000000 cry) from a weekly container: Just pure luck. And this was also in the early stage of containers, when there was no abundance of paints&skins yet...

I'm about to have five by pure chance. How long is the optimal wait time?

Whenever I wait patiently for around 2 weeks, I get really great rewards. For me, the probabilities are like:

Open immediately: Common

2-3 Days: Uncommon and below

1 week: Rare and below

2 week: Epic (and sometimes Legendary)

There have been extremely slight deviations from this since I began experimenting. Usually the 'and below' part doesn't even apply.

1 month (4 weeks): Epic or legendary (and sometimes exotic)

Nah. After two weeks it's mainly just Epic. Exotic is pure luck.

At this point I've found opening immediately doesn't give any particular disadvantages. Last months's challenge, I opened 3 sets of 4 Containers after reaching those tiers (after buying the Battle Pass). 2 of those 3 sets gave me an epic (shaft effect, freeze effect) and the other one of those sets of 4 gave me a legendary (prestigio)

 

There's also that time when I opened a rare and an epic within a short time. I got the first container after the server restart and saved it. I opened it after the server restart and got a rare (kaleidoscope). I then got a cont from a weekly mission and opened it. It gave me the rust paint.

 

 

If there's one thing that is unlucky to me, is opening on mobile. I seem to constantly get supplies from opening them on mobile.

That does create a new perspective.

Oh wait, I opened all containers on this acc on Mobile. ;P Didn't consider that may be an influencing factor, too.

*has zero containers*  cant relate

After further testing I have found that at the least logging out of your account, then in again, gives better containers. For instance: the last 4 containers that I opened were all opened after logging out, except one. I got: 10K crystals x2, 100 of all supplies pack, and 125 mines. Guess which one was opened immediately? 

I've had similar results not just in the last 4 (I just remember them clearly). For instance, I usually got 125 supplies when I opened containers. Decided to log out and in again for a bunch of them, got (among roughly 3x 125 ___ supplies) Rust paint, 100 of all supplies (again), 25K crystals, another 10K crystals, and 3x 3.5K crystals. 

That's better than I usually get. I think that logging out and in is the best method.

 

*By the way, all of these were opened one at a time, generally a couple days apart as I received them.

I did that a few times and didn't notice any significant increase. I did it mostly because I was going to open them after my 3rd/4th hunt and I'm afraid that the client crashes on me while opening one and cheating me out of a reward, or 5.

I've got over 240 containers (from four accounts) on my spreadsheet now (first was opened on 22nd May) and they have all been opened immediately and one at a time

 

My average crystal value of a container based on adding all up all of the crystal, gold box, and premium rewards (at 2500 crystals / day for premium) and dividing that by the total is currently 3189 crystals

 

15% or one in every 5.66. of those containers were rare (2% were epic), so it's hardly surprising that 5 container openings contain one rare container or that 15 container openings might contain two or three

 

I still think anyone's belief about containers is being heavily influenced by confirmation bias

 

One of my accounts is often lucky, last nine containers for that one:

 

3500 Crystals

5 GB

25000 Crystals

125 Mines

3500 Crystals

25000 Crystals

25000 Crystals

125 RK

3500 Crystals
