I don’t know mate. Since I spent all my tankoins on BP I really don’t feel an urge to play daily anymore. Ultra weekends have become frustrating  again since they reintroduced “spend certain amount of supplies which are abnormally high” and that’s why it requires a lot of time to complete these missions only to get utter rubbish. Last weekend took me more time  to finish than I would like to admit because of stupid spend repair kit mission.

My theory is that those who spend less time in-game have slightly better container rewards, probably to encourage them to spend more time in the game and/or spend money in the shop.

For example, I basically only play to complete daily and special missions (although admittedly these last few weeks I have been playing a little more than usual), but generally speaking I don’t play more than 30 minutes a day; rarely over an hour. And interestingly enough, my container rewards have been consistently good, giving me at least a legendary almost every time.

Maybe if you got out to take damage it would help with the repair kit mission.

On my main account I recently got AP tesla after week or two of absence. That is my second legendary augment I got from ultra containers, first one being EMP smoky almost year ago (which also interestingly enough happened after some time of inactivity). Well idk...your theory can apply at least for me.

I recently got Stun Freeze f2p right in front of an audience.

@Hiroyukisa's reaction was GOLD. I wish I could've recorded it

 

Like omg, because his legendaries have been consecutive Paints, and then when he saw my stream and it was legendary, he chanted PAINT PAINT PAINT! LOL.

Just a theory. A game theory.

 

But I'm not sure if this is really the case.

Before my break, I played on 3 accounts every single day and had one not as active account. Maybe you are getting legendaries faster on your active accounts because you are not noticing you are opening a lot more Containers? Idk.

Main

I clarified "main" because I don't spend money on Tanki anymore. I got it from the 14 Ultra Weekend Containers.

And here we go...... people not undarstanding simple concept of RNG aka gambling. I Play a lot 150k xp per week on average. 
Before the cont update i got... this is NOT A JOKE.
1st week - EMP Tesla
2nd week - AP Tesla

3rd week - Stun Tesla  

i got 3 NEW (for that time) augments while playing A LOT in 3 ultra weekends for FREE. 
Now after the update i get way more lucky i get epic drops around every 30 conts and legendary drop every 50 ish conts. Last week i got 2 legendary it was Freeze twins and a paint. all from mission containers so F2P. 
Its random. Them advertising that drop rates for epic are 50% (just an example relax) but in reality they are 5%. This would mean that you can sue tanki for false advertising. Would you risk getting sued just to get couple people to buy a little bit more containers?

You got two legendaries from a single set of 15?

No i meant one day i got freeze twins then couple days later i got a paint. both normal conts from missions so i guess i got 2 legendaries in 10+ conts.

[NikmanGT 4,363]

Same with me, I got  Gauss shot effect and many legendary paints and 2 legendary augments from the new containers ^^

That's the problem, the RNG causes vast differences between rewards of players. There should be at least some form of standardisation, for example, initial chance of legendary reward 1% and with each container opened it would rise up to, let's say 20%, and then reset when you get the legendary drop.

Alright. Well remember that I’m just theorising based on my own experiences with container rewards. It may or may not be like that in actuality.

Isn’t this considered spamming? Posting the same thing over and over again. Breaching the rules himself as a “powerful” mod while abusing granted “powers”. Pathetic.

Oh and by the way. Focus on patching your rigged ultra and normal  containers drop rates instead. I have done almost every if not every ultra container event since the “new and enhanced” drop rates have been announced and never got anything past epic. I am sure majority of players have done likewise and had the same “luck” while opening the scamtainers.

Fix your blatantly rigged container rewards system first.

I have to agree with you on the ultra container drop rates . Since the container update (I believe it was in january)  it has been 5 months now and I have got 0 legendary and exotic drops from the ultra container . I have completed all special missions and I had even participated in youtuber event using the 2k tankoins given in new year missions and was in the winning team from start (jumper) , got about 50+ ultras but did not get any legendary or exotic drop . I have obtained every ultra container possible by playing purely f2p (no buying premium, battle pass or special bundle using money) but all I get is tons of paints , as of now I have all common , uncommon , rare and more than half of epic paints .

So the developers are going to encourage heavy camping now? Welp time to see more camping shafts and magnums. Great just great

Camper will be truely camping

There's a reason why nobody uses Camper as is.  Literally graze them with one vulcan bullet and it gets negated.  Very easy to locate whoever is using Camper to negate it and they will eventually get frustrated and stop using it

I kind of still feel salty about this. XD I have been pulling 18 consecutive paints from my legendary prize pool within a week. It is so annoying; sometimes I feel like tanki is giving me the middle finger at times.

i wonder what they're trying to do with Ares, tbh i like the current version more, slow, decent dps, but it seems that they're making it very quick with even less damage now? What would its purpose be?

It's simple really....... Ares = God of War = always adapting in battles
