My secret to getting good rewards from just a small amount of containers.

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

Lower your GS as low as possible. I noticed it helps. This definitely a reason why so many recruits are running around with XTs and I don't even have a single XT on my main account.

[Gottabeawesome 5]

I don't think there's any difference... open one at a time or not equal i

[Galdar 45]

I don't think opening several containers at once changes the possibilities. It gives more of an impression of better luck, as out of 5 containers let's say, there is often one which offers at least some "Rare" content.

I think it's just a "mass effect" perception if we can call it this way... just a thought.

[Potdindy 866]

There are some wise responses here. As humans we tend to only remember instances where randomness gives us a specific result, but forget all the times that dont. For example, if someone opens a few containers individually and gets good reward, they will come here explaining that opening single containers is the best way, when in reality it was just randomness. If you want to end this debate, record opening hundreds of containers in different ways and compare the rewards

My secret:

Don't open Ultra Containers. They never gave me anything worth more than 3500 crystals.



Just kidding lol. But seriously, that's how it it for me.

Just opened 30 containers, and in those 2 x 15 batches I managed to get Stun immunity for Titan and Titan Prime Skin!

WOW!

 

Shame I don't have Titan on that account...

Well, now you have a real incentive to get it.

I have both bad luck and good luck with 15 container open once

3) Opening up containers at a later time or date.

So I have been doing this for all the containers I have received for quite a while now. Once I get done with missions for the week, I would save up all the containers I have collected during that week until the the start of next weeks missions. I guess the motive behind it is to have something to look forward to when I do start next weeks missions.

What I found interesting was that it somehow influences your chances of getting something good. Been opening them at just a couple hours before server restart for a couple weeks now, and that's where the spurt of my luck has been coming from. So it wouldn't be a bad idea to hold on to your containers for a bit rather than opening them on the spot.

This one might be the only true one, because, if u open up regular containers, play a few bp's to get some augs you don't have, you could 'increase' the chances to get an aug that may not be in the BP, etc, be eliminating stuff that is. But even then, it's not something you can guarantee. Containers are a gamble.

I.e the day crisis was released, I got it within 5 minutes of the restart, not a lot, BUT it took me 1000 ultras to get crusader. It is just a chance.

If it was AP immunity - maybe.  How often am I really worried about a Titan being stunned for 2 seconds.

And that account already has a mk7 mammoth.  Have a lot of upgrading to do on items I already own - not gonna start investing in another heavy hull.

Mammoth cold immunity.  LOL.  Didn't they just give that away?

I also got mammoth cold resistance from container after I already got mammoth cold immu,

why I would ever use that. just like you got both heat immu and heat resist

[alkyng 3,080]

If the containers was really random, then there is no differences between opening it one by one or in a punches or with anyway.

To be honest containers are a raise of pressure, and convert me into an angry after getting a stupid luck. The problem is the game is dependent in containers in the strongest items, disgustingly how the game converted into a gamble though Tanki in real isn't the type of the games that contains loot-boxes. If the containers came in 2015 in example, there's literally nothing to put into containers.

Bad luck or a good luck in containers, it's not my problem or cares. My problem is, don't make the game dependent in containers. If you made it clearly with a real money $ I think it's way better

Shame, this game used to be about playing tanks. Now everybody's busy figuring how to beat the casino. What happened?

Keep in mind, when containers were added, none of the other forms of earning rewards were decreased to compensate. So the developers are practically making the game more free to play with the "casino".

To be honest, I really love the concept of containers but it would have been much better if some items were obtainable in other ways and not only through containers.

No they're one of the things that makes the game's balance, not a generous thing from developers. Especially when there are items aren't obtainable except with containers.

It's like when someone says Missions and Challenges are deign from developers to us, as the only revenue should be "battle rewards". Nope they're all together composing the game's balance in general.

You should be. This thing is stupidly powerful when up against Hunters in Siege.

Stun immunity won't save your buffs.  If I'm at the location, and hunter zaps me, moving is the least of my worries.

Stun immunity is the thing that can save you. EMP or AP is useless against hunters.

Just to remind you:

• Stun Immunity still allows you to use your OD
• Stun Immunity still allows you to move around
• Stun Immunity still allows you to keep the Rugby ball/CTF or ASL flag

Play tactically and this will be a very powerful Immunity indeed.

I'm talking Titan here, not hopper or hornet.  And your example I responded to was Siege - which involves trying to stay in place and cap as opposed to moving around with a ball or flag.

Unless stun immunity prevents my already placed dome from disappearing it won't be nearly as beneficial as not losing my supplies.  Those two seconds of moving do not compensate for keeping all your supplies.  As a heavy hull I'm far more often gonna support the cappers than I am being one of the cappers unless it's a very small map or I'm the "back-up" travelling right behind the carrier (who would also have to be slow or I wouldn't be close enough to be effective).

9 times out of 10 when playing a Titan I'd rather have EMP protection than stun protection.

AP protection is the holy grail as it makes you much safer in the dome - allowing the dome to do what it's designed for - protecting you.  It's a rare things these days with all the Titan counters out there.

Just opened 15 containers on my main as soon as I got them on PC. It paled in comparison to the last two times.

This time I received heavyweight augment for hornet. While the previous two times I was following all these tips and received the digital borealis animated paint and prime skin for Viking.

 

Also @MysticBlood's advice of buying all the flag paints, really helps. Ive also noticed that opening them during events increases the chances a bit.

They've introduced so many new paints, the flag paints are almost irrelevant.

Haven't got a flag paint in over 100 containers. But I am getting a lot of the new paints...
