Because you add one more option to the lot. Before him, you have like 9 chances out of the 9 times 17 mercs. After he is released it’ll 9 out of 9 times 18 mercs. Simple math, will make the probability of getting a specific loadout more reduced.[/quote]

That. There are no CW cards for Thunder so chances will decrease.

??? First you roll for the type of case, then you roll for the loadout. So it’s still 0.3% for CW.

Doing it the other way around would be sloppy and outright misleading.

How do you know?

It’s 0.3% for getting a CW, but in the scenario where you hit that 0.3%, you then have to roll the dice again to get a specific loadout. If you’re looking for a specific merc, the probability to get it out of the lot is reduced for each single merc once you have more mercs to chose from.

That’s how I see it too but in case of Thunder it doesn’t count cause there are no CW cards for Thunder.

Meanwhile I opened another 100 cases before the update arrives today (400k left):

lead 70
iron 28
bronz 1
silver 1

No CW or Cobalt this time :’(

Because I expect a certain level of competence of SD.

There are no CW cards for Thunder so nothing changes for CW cards.

Did they actually say that there wouldn’t be? Usually, with every new merc addition we also get all the flavours of skins for him/her. Would make sense to see it happen for containment war loadouts too.

Yeah, they said so yesterday in their stream. No CW cards for Thunder.

I’d go for the cases. There’s a 0.04956 chance (5%~) that you get no cw loadout, if that is worth the risk for you, go for it.
