Containment War limited loadout cards.


(Lumi) #1

So I just read this pcinvasion.com/dirty-bomb-containment-war-update-launches-tomorrow

Seems like Paul Younger had a chat with a DB lead designer, Neil Alphonso, and he spilled some news about 30 days limited CW loadout cards!

Was this known before? I followed the streams and Faraleth’s Mega-thread but don’t remember reading any of it.

If this is true, what do you guys think of it?


(Faraleth) #2

Nothing’s been said/confirmed on the cases yet. :slight_smile: I’d take it with a grain of salt.


(Lumi) #3

That’s why you can see me harassing the author in the comments of the news :wink:

If it were true though, what would you think of it? Would this be an obsidian loadout or completely different? Btw, feel free to close this thread if you think it should all belong in your [Mega-Thread].

i think its true even Pcgamer posted about this http://www.pcgamer.com/dirty-bombs-containment-war-update-goes-live-this-week/

If it’s true it would be awesome limited edition cards yaay!


(Faraleth) #5

I’ll leave this open, because I’m only posting 100% confirmed things in the mega-thread, as well as clues given by official DB sources.

As for what I think of it…

The limited edition event Loadout Cards will be available for 30 days following the release of the update and can be obtained in three ways.

CW Equipment Cases give a 0.3% chance of scoring a Containment War Loadout Card

CW Elite Cases have a 10% chance

Purchase a bundle of 10 Elite Cases for a bonus CW Event Case that guarantees a Containment War Loadout Card.

10% chance for one of them from a CW elite case? Yeeeeeeeeeea- No. Probably not a good idea to jump the gun on it, but the cases don’t excite me at all. I’m quite content being hyped over the new content and merc - cases with RNG like that seem like a waste of time.

Yo dawg I herd u like RNG so I put more RNG into your RNG…

Now someone has to write it on the Wikipedia and it’ll be 101% true!

It’s not from ‘elite case’, it’s from ‘cw elite case’
Two completely different things.

Only to VIPs and journalists, since yesterday.

I assume that the normal cw cases are bought with credits. Cool if that’s true, shame that I just wasted all mah monies


(JonSnow) #10

It would be cool if the cases would drop just by playing like regular ones or be avalible to buy with credits.

However they will proably be priced like Elite cases and Expert cases…

(and i will buy them, like an idiot cause bling,bling)

I think that for the month in which the event will be on, regular and elite cases will be called CW cases. Or maybe that’s just a lapse. Because it seems to me that if you buy a 10 elite case bundle you’ll get a CW case on top with a guaranteed CW loadout.

Also it seems to be a confirmed thing. In any case, we’ll know tomorrow. XD


(FilterDecay) #12

I’ve been saving cases for the update anyhow so this would be special cool.


(Lumi) #13

Lucky you if it turns out that regular cases open up with CW loadouts!

They will drop. Regular cases will actually not drop at all while the LE cases do.

Awesome news! Bad for @FilterDecay since his saved up cases will not help at all :smiley:


(FilterDecay) #16

I will still expect a colbalt best loadout stoker from my regular cases :wink:

Any info on the pricing of those cases? @MissMurder


(JonSnow) #18

@MissMurder AMAZING!
Love you devs and MissMurder! :heart:
New card types are always welcome. :wink:


(MissMurder) #19

@Kaur I think they are actually the same price as their regular case/elite case counterparts. If that makes sense.

@JonSnow <3

With my luck 0.3% chance is WAY too small for me to get one.
Well it’s time to burn some cash again I guess…
