Also a warning - all of this assumes that:

- each part has equal chance to drop

- reward for an unlocked tank is random (so for example if you open 15 UC under yellow tank, another player might open it under blue one). This also kind of works if the rewards were given in pre-set order, so that your first completed tank always gives you one specific reward.

So first of all, 900tk to participate.
Free ways to obtain boxes:

17 from missions

basically unlimited for crystals, the price isn't listed, which is the most important (will update this tomorrow)

12 boxes from only one bundle for 1990tk

 

Now where's the catch as usual? I don't think it's the possibility of getting duplicate parts, it's the exchange system limited to ONCE per day. The 50tk price is minimal, but you can't physically exchange more than 17 parts, while you don't even want to exchange anything for the first few days. Also you need to find a player who wants just your part, while you want theirs.

Basically, in my opinion this is going to end up like every classic trading card game, where you end up with few extra pieces of duplicate cards which nobody wants, but you still can't find the last one.

  Reveal hidden contents

If I just bring up an example - lets say you bought the bundle and finished 15 missions (so there are only 2 days left). In total you have 27 tank parts. From these, you are quite likely to open maybe 15-20 unique (most likely 15 or worse) and you are left with 10 parts to trade. But you only got 2 days, so you can't trade enough anymore. You can only try to open more boxes which you can purchase ONLY by crystals and the chance to open all of the remaining parts is so slim, you'll most likely spend way too much (unless the crystal price for boxes is really low).

 

So you need to start trading earlier, right? But if you started to trade maybe 10 days before the end, the last 8 missions are almost useless, since you might again drop a duplicate of a part you already obtained by trading (or any other part you had prior). Effectively, you only have like 7 or 8 boxes and need to buy the rest to be able to start trading that early if you want to unlock all 5 rewards.

 

If your goal is getting all the reward, this might be a trap, unless you know the mechanics, buy enough extra boxes for crystals and/or tankoins and start trading not later than like 6, but maybe even 10 days before the end.

After writing all that and thinking about it, maybe there's a more efficient way to approach this.

Assuming the boxes are too expensive for crystals, the 50tk price of a swap is cheaper option. Why don't just buy boxes on day 1 until you have 8 unique parts and at least 1 extra. You might need to buy more than 9 boxes if you get unlucky, but those 12 from the bundle should be quite enough for 8 unique. Then you just start trading daily for 17 days straight. The good thing is you'll be able to get those 17 boxes for free from missions, but you'll need to find another player with a remaining part. So the last day will be pain. However, with few extra parts it might be possible to find a player even on the last day.
If you bought the bundle for 12, earned 17 from missions, you'll have 5 extra parts at the end, which greatly increases chance to find a player who has missing part and wants yours. Maybe it's even worth to buy another bundle to increase the odds even more.

 

With this approach, it should cost 3740tk + crystals for however many packs you want to buy, which isn't even that bad, considering you'll be getting a skin container, steampunk skin and soon-so-much-hated hopper and wasp drivers. Or at least the hopper one. Unless there's a surprise, I'm taking part in this, sounds like a good value to me.

 

I need to repeat it again tho - it'll be both difficult to find players early to trade parts with, and also closer to the end. You'll make your life a lot easier if you get extra 5 or 10 parts for extra flexibility.

Obviously, if you only want one or two rewards and get lucky, you can stop there and make this a lot cheaper

 

After this, I'd recommend 2 days to approach:

1) Poor + don't care - don't participate, it's most likely not worth if you don't want to spend around 4k tankoins.

2) Willing to spend 4k and go all in -  try to take the early trading approach, obtaining a part through trading should be cheaper than buying it in almost every case.

I'd not even recommend going half-in. You can go all-in early and if you get your desired rewards, stop and don't spend more tankoins if it doesn't seem worth for you anymore.

 

Follow up with pricing etc.

I'm confused about the system of part exchanging, because it was first possible to change multiple times per day and idk if it's been completely removed, or if it's still possible to do so. Just keep that in mind please

Spoiler

120k per box if you buy bundle of 5, bundle of 3 is still okay-ish price per box if you only need 3.

Good thing is only creator of exchange offer pays 50tk, so it's a bit cheaper, but also those tankoins are minimal expense of others.

And now the most important thing. You can only create one offer, but you can accept as many (or at least one... I hope this is intended) offers from other players as you want. So if you trade with a friend, it's 2 trades per day. Even doubling the trades is insane, you can trade up to 34 times, this makes the event so free.

I forgot about one problem yesterday - you can only change a part for part of the same type or color, so you need a lot of extra parts to be able to trade every day for a new part.

Don't forget to first trade parts which have the least options for trading. For example if you have a yellow turret twice and then you already have yellow tank complete and also own blue, green and red turrets, you can only exchange the yellow turret for violet turret, so this exchange should be your priority, otherwise that extra yellow turret will need to be exchanged twice to get a unique part.

tl;dr this just became a cheap event, either spend 3k tk or a mil crystals and socialize a bit, collect skin cont and some stuff, ez.

May have spoken too soon, not sure if it is 'fixed', all I know is I was able to accept 2 offers from others and make 1 offer, now I am exceeding the alleged limit of trades

I have done the following at least:

So I really don't know what's up. Clarity in the rules or actual site being not fully completed as intended.

ok

[MEXICAN-SKY 308]

Just a reminder to all players.

Remember this is TO they give nothing of value for free and will do their best to exact as much cash from you as possible. You all know what they are capable of so do not fall into the trap, if you do then it's on you when you get naff all for the cash you spent.

An interesting event lol, I just shook my head at that comment and thought yeah whatever.
