ReV: The Math. (For those who keeps saving like squirrels like me fearing of not having enough)

(Jesus) #1

So in the stream we have been able to notice that:

  1. There is three different cycles packs:
    -The first grade pack sold at 10000 credit granting you 1000 cycles
    -The second grade pack sold at 50000 credit granting you 5250 cycles
    -The third grade pack sold at 100000 credit granting you 10800 cycles
    Do not forget that you will win cycles at the end of each match you play.
    And as @RazielWarmonic kindly reminded me there is the SkullSplinter trinket available for 5$ that will increase your match gain in cycles by 10%.

Now there is basically four items you’ll want to buy in priority with those cycles if you are a collector like me.
-Culprit Case 500 cycles
-SpamTrap Trinket 650 cycles
-Antivirus Trinket 2000 cycles
-Firewall Trinket 4500 cycles

The bill adding up to a total of 7650 cycles So If you have 100k credit you are fine for that and you will be able to get every of those items and have some cycles left, You’ll need a minimum of 80000 credit if you want to get those items through packs since youll need to buy one second Grade pack and three first grade pack.

Now for the Case boosters. If you are not familiar with those, which i doubt, the boosters increase your chance to get special edition cases at the end of matches with the same chances as dropping equipement cases when you reach the number of ten boosters and they disappear when the goal case drop.

They are sold at 1250 cycles individual which means that if you want to get 10 of them
you gotta gather nothing less 12500
which means minimum one third grade pack and 2 first grade pack
these pack adds up to a minimum bill of 102000 credit for 10 booster which will take effect on ONE guaranteed case.

For the interested the case with the 1% chance in it are 350 cycles/u. Which means:

a first grade pack(10000C) will get you 2 of them we can even say 3 since there is 50 cycles missing to get the third one and we win cycle through matches so we can assume youll get the 50 by playing.

a second grade pack(50000C) will get you exactly 15 cases.

a third grade pack(100000C) will get you 30 cases for 10500 cycles with the 300 cycles left we can assume you will gather the 50 missing and goes up to 31 cases for one of these pack.

And for those who dont know there is a special Obsidian Card for the Culprit that you can get if and only if you buy Aimée with 15$.
No other way to get this one for now.

Now you can plan your spendings through ReV.

You can also grab a Skullsplitter trinket for $5 to increase Cycle revenue from playing. :slight_smile:

(b8rpwn1337) #4

thanks for the post. it’s insightful. i’m gonna buy the skullsplitter trinket too.

(Randomdeath) #5

I might just have to simply re read… But is there listed a total amount of Cycles needed to buy everything in the event?

(Jesus) #6

@Randomdeath

This is probably what you are looking for. I didnt included the event cases price as one can buy an undertermined number of these during the event. but this is what all the other items will cost.
On top of that you can get the 5$ dollar trinket SkullSplinter and there is also an Obsidian card for the culprit that you get if you buy Aimée for 15$.

(Mc1412013) #7

Good thing I have 450k stored up

(bontsa) #8

Mental Agony Targeting Humans has never been my forte, thanks for crunching the numbers out :wink:

(Mc1412013) #9

But at what rate do we get cycles. Base credits are at one rate. Then u have first win first play and missions. Now credit boosters only affect base pay. Are cycles earned these way too or only equivalent to base pay and missions

Does this trinket act like credit boosters where it’s only base pay or is it applied to missions earnings as well?

I didnt heard anything about the cycles rate I dont think there has been any precision on that. Now i dont think the trinket affects mission earnings but one could hope.

@RazielWarmonic @stayfreshshoe Any answer for that ?

Haha thanks. Im kinda stupid sometimes. (It shows, doesnt it?)

(solace_) #12

This is interesting. You should maybe add in the 50 000 C cost of aimee as well, becuase most people will probably get her if they have the credits to spare.

(FireWorks) #13

Or jump for the 15$ Culprit combo with her.
Or buy event stuff while possible and buy her after the event.

(Sinee) #14

This event is just a complete credit hemorrhage, what the fuck, man.

The boosters are absolutely appalling. Because not only is it monstrously expensive for 10 just to get the regular case drop rate (which is just 30%), they also all vanish after you get your first event case. So say you want Proxy and get Nader instead or something. Welp, you gotta buy them all over again.

What the bloody FUCK.

(nokiII) #15

First all the people complain that there’s no proper credit sink in the game, and now people complain that there’s an credit sink. I don’t understand but I also do not care about bling.

(Jesus) #16

The thing is it would be a good credit sink if it was a permanent kind but its an event limited in time. An i think people would prefer something less credit sinking that would let them get several try on loadout and stuff before the event ends. Because with those boosters if you take them and you have about the same speed as me you can get the ten once a week without spending on anything else no case or such. We still have to see how much cycles drops in match. This could make things better;

(kaMMakaZZi9) #17

OKAY.

Advice for someone that will have around 105,000 for the event?

I want all trinkets and the culprit case. Should I buy 3x 10000 credit cycle packs and 1x 50000 credit cycle pack or just buy the 100,000k pack?

Keep in mind I’ll be playing A LOT during this event. I save 20k the first way and I still do need Redeye, Bushwhacker and Aimee.

***im also buying the skull splitter trinket. So I will potentially earn a lot of cycles just playing. Should I save my 20K by not getting the cycle bank for 100K?

(N8o) #18

Looks like I aint getting an obsidian.

First advice dont worry about the merc you still have to get 50k comes fairly quick so if id be you id totally forgot that during the event and not save credit for that the merc arent gonna fly away youll have plenty of time, i keep doin missions and im now at 116k so personally ill take a 100kcredit pack right away and buy the culprit case and all the trinkets then after that ill see about cases, because i also want event loadout so il probably go on boosters after that as i can make 100k a week if I get the job done I should be able to get a few cases I hope

(kaMMakaZZi9) #20

I almost want to just keep saving and see how many cycles I can earn during the event without spending my credits on a cycle pack. Then when it’s crunch time do what I need to to get what I want.
