[quote=“SkrubLord;165207”][quote=“kaMMakaZZi9;165204”]@SkrubLord first post bro.

Culprit case is 500 cycles; to get the case and all trinkets it’s like 7650 cycles.[/quote]

Thanks, I guess I need to check my eyes or get glasses. Maybe both.
But one thing I dont understand, the culprit case will contain only special edition cards of the culprit, or will it have only 1% chance? If its all special edition, then its reasonable. If not, this shit is overpriced as hell. 10000 credits for 2 event equipment cases that has 1% chance of a special edition and that is the only thing that is different about it compared to a normal equipment-case? That is bullshit. Might as well buy normal cases and try to get a cobalt.[/quote]

As far as we know it contains unique skin (guaranteed) for the culprit only and it’s random - 1 out of 9 possible loadouts.

After I saw the price of the boosters yesterday… well… I think nothing can be guaranteed now except for the trinkets and 15$ obsidian card :smiley:

I think the best thing anyone can do this event is be patient and just play the game for 4 weeks, then determine how you’ll spend your credits/cycles at the end on the 5th week.

I could get the 10,800 cycle bank right away but I don’t think it’d be a good idea. Then the cycles I get the rest of the event will have to be wasted on cases otherwise I’ll lose them and thus the credits I’ve been saving.

If I already owned all the mercs, I’d probably just go to town on cases, but I need 3 including Aimee.

Well what If I want event skins for Nader and Sawbones (I really do). They are in rotation the first week, so I can get their skins only then, because we know proxy will be most played from that rotation… At week 5 only the 4 top played mercs from the past 4 weeks will be on rotation = skins only for them… How am I able to get sawbones, Nader, fragger and stoker skins than without risking the ridiculous rng and prices for elite case bundles? :slight_smile:

The booster price is soo NICE… I cry every time. 100k+ credits for one guaranteed skin which can be for merc you don’t want or bad loadout. All of this for 5 weeks.

Just to clarify - I’m talking about guaranteed cases (via boosters or just luck). I won’t buy 1% chance cases because they cost like 3500 credits.

You loose the cycles you didn’t spend forever? So in a scenario where I turn all my credits into cycles like Jesus turned water into wine and I dont spend those cycles, I’ve just thrown all my credits out the window? I know its not gonna happen cause I’m gonna play alot during the event, but just in case I loose internet connection for like 5 weeks (who knows, it might happen). Jokes aside, some aspects of this event seems so be badly thought through.

(kaMMakaZZi9) #45

That was my question with the suspect cases, aren’t they ALL coming back the 5th week? Meaning there will be a Suspect Case A, B, C, D to represent each week.

This is the only part that needs clarifying IMO.

I think they are not all coming back… Even if they did - 16 merc RNG all over again. WTD and CW all over again

(kaMMakaZZi9) #47

But I heard they will be separate cases. I’m so confused on that aspect.

(onLooSe) #48

You can save your cases from week 1,2… etc. And they will contain only those mercs from this particular week. That’s what I know. At week 5 there will be “battle” between the top 4 most played mercs in the previous weeks, so if you like one of those mercs you will have another chance at getting skin for him/her.

That’s what I understand so far.

Correction: I went through all the twitter posts and it seems that in week 5 you will be able to buy all 4 suspect equipment cases (separate for each rotations in the past weeks), but those are the 1% event skin chance I’m not interested in. This case costs around 3500 credits for 1 percent… no thank you. I don’t think that in week 5 you can get guaranteed cases (without spending money) for mercs that aren’t top suspects in the previous weeks.

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?[/quote]

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 ?[/quote]

the shattered skull only increases cycle earnings by 10%

[quote=“Jostabeere;165090”]I would like to know what are the odds of dropping 100% cases with each amount of boosters. But SD won’t tell anyways, since people gonna exploit the system.
I gonna try to get 100% cases with as little boosters as possible.[/quote]

I probably wont stack more than 5 or 6 at a time, its still a high percent to get a 100% case, plus you potentially save 5 or 4 boosters.

How does 60 000+ credits sounds for some chance for getting event skin for one out of four mercs with 9 loadouts :smiley: ?
I think stacking up 2 is pretty much a lot… but hell… this might be like 2 percent chance for getting an event case :smiley:

not really if someone already knows for which merc they want loadout they should take the case on the week of those merc since there will only be 4 merc they would have much higher chance to get something for the one they like

idk buying aimee or fire wall :frowning:

@ Jesus… Nice post man, thanks for the number crunching this really helped clarify a few things for me. I have around 300k Credits so i will be able to get EVERYTHING! And i will easily get at least 2 EVENT LOADOUT CARDS.
I will also support the Game and purchase the Skullsplitter Trinket 5$ and The Vengeance Pack for 15$ since i love DirtyBomb and playing with you guys, i have hours of fun on this FREE to play game.
Now i just need to pray to RNGeesus that the couple of Event Loadouts will be one for my Stoker and one for BushyWhackWhack lol. Here’s hoping :smiley:

I’m pretty sure you’ll want to get the Firewall first.
Unlike the Firewall, Aimee won’t disappear forever. :slight_smile:

@RazielWarmonic Any hint on the exact amount of Cycles we get per missions and at the end of matches?

@Kirays i know but aimee is cooler D:
