How does the RNG work?

(HammerOfDawn21) #1

I was wondering how the RNG works in this game.

Is the load out card chosen when the case is dropped, like you can open a case today or next month and it will drop the same card since it is already decided?

or is it chosen when you open it? like opening the same case at different times will give you a different card.

no one really knows. (except sd of course)

I think it works with the names of the players… when the system for instance sees my name they automatically give me a lead card… :smiley:

In all seriousness though, it’s like @hypnotoad said, nobody really knows. I personally assume it’s determined when the case drops. :slight_smile:

Someone should try it when they get a case during gen2 and open it during gen3

From a software developers point of view it would make more sense to decide the card when opening the case because nothing has to be remembered. If the card is decided when the case drops, it wastes storage space and coding effort when having to remember the card until the player finally opens the case.

Back in the day when there were still new mercs released people used to save their cases until the release in hope of getting cards for the new merc. AFAIR this did occasionally work out. Due the rather large number of mercs the probability was very low of course.

they say if you count the number of star in the sky you will unlock the knowledge of the RNG god itself.

or if you have space ships that has warp storm drive you can just visit the crib and befriend with the god himself
