XT skins and Gauss

[Fenrir 335]

Like, the vast majority of them is available in regular containers. The hoverhull XTs are at least available in UCs (most of the time). But what about Gauss XT? Why is it even more elusive than the new HD XT skins, did the devs just sort of... forget about it? Can't be because of the old Gauss eXTra pack, can it - as all the other components of it are available in UCs. Just not the skin. Strange. Any clue?

Thanks for replying, though... Your answer seems to imply that Gauss XT is in the regular containers, but it's not.  And that's what I'm asking about specifically - why is Gauss XT, despite being an older item - not obtainable at all, while all the other skins are, in one way or another.

Ultra containers contents are updated regularly, that is to make more odds in your side to get the exotic item that you want, gauss is taken away now but i'm pretty sure that it will come back. For example, i would like to get crusader XT, but if there are 20 exotic items my chance of getting crusader XT would be 1/20 if i get an exotic BUT if they took away some other exotics my odd  to get it would increase. That is the reason why gauss has been taken down, to make other exotics have more odds to drop, this way you can target specific exotics and try to get them. When gauss would be in Ultra containers they would took away other items maybe hopper or ares XT so you could try to get it with more odds in your side. ThunderHunter must has been mistaken, I am pretty sure that gauss XT will not move into regular containers for now as it is a recent item, around april 2020 i believe.

Because the items are newer than other items, they are placed in Ultra Containers.

When the items are more older, and when newer items come into the game, the current ones will also be moved into the regular Containers.
