Statistically on average . . .

How many hours do you have to play before obtaining a non crafted cobalt ?

nearly 700 hours here and nothing , asking after seeing thread about 616 opened cases and none , personally i wish there was a loyalty daily logging spread over the month with the last day being a cobalt .

I got one from the case a day may. then the others I crafted with the old system :disappointed:

It was when I hit 350 hours in the game I think.

Got almost 700 hours as well but I got 2 cobalts from normal cases, I don’t know how many I opened though but less than 1,500 I know for sure.
Shard T45 Thunder (which is my Thunder loadout now) and fragment S83 Arty (decent card but I prefer my shard Dreiss loadout which I crafted, I like the Dreiss more and shard vs fragment is obviously shard)

I’ll probably turn the S83 Arty into fragments when the lucky case event ends and I want to craft 2 new cobalts

Got my first recently at level 56. Guess its just luck because i already opened far more than 2k cases.

I got my first cobalt from an equipment case at level 12, D45 Redeye. I think I was around 190-225 hours? I don’t open many cases, I’d have probably opened less than 80 at the time.

to reach level 12 took you 190 hours?

Prolly Steamtime. But as we all know Steamtime is pretty unreliable.

Since open Beta last summer I got my first and only equipment case cobalt the evening before second edition loadouts update at about lvl 50.
Steam time now 750hours, containing many idle.

I’d be ok with that rate if a friend of mine hadn’t gotten one at lvl 4 >:)

766 steam hours, lvl 57. 3 are from trade-ups, another 3 dropped from regular cases.

(MilkyBear) #11

Around 600h for the first, 900h for the second, both are awesome.

(Szakalot) #12

1k steam hours ; got 3 cobalt cards from normal cases

(BananaSlug) #13

750h, got one red eye from some expert case giveaway, it was somewhere around CW, not sure about that

(FireWorks) #14

1278hours on steam til my first drop. no second as of 1600

(Madonna_) #15

i opened an enormous ammount of cases, and now at lvl 47 with about 550 hours i still bought only 4 legit mercs with 50k each, every other credit was just spent into cases and trade up
crafted cobalts: 4
cobalt recived from expert cases: 2
cobalt from equipment case: 0
and now with this new “system” i will not craft any cobalt anymore

934h Steam hours - zero Cobalts.

I’m seeing a lot of people here not doing their daily sacrifices to the RNG gods.

Are we talking hours tracked in-game which is only the amount of hours you’ve spent on a server playing? Or are we talking Steam hours where simply leaving the client open for days can rack up hours?

I think I’m at 600 in-game hours and I’ve gotten 1 cobalt from cases I believe.

(LifeupOmega) #19

I got one at around 250 in game hours, had 3 total from cases, and have created around 6.

(Herr_Hanz) #20

757 steam hours, level 41, bought 30 elite cases, and 10 extra through a bug. opening all gave me no cobalt. made between 7 and 10 cobalts. got 4 golden cards from equipment cases. 2 in the past week from golden cases.
