Hey guys, i haven't played for a long time, and i know that flak jackets are a normal loot drop from boxes these days.

My question is, im almost 99.999% sure that surge flak jackets were an ultra rare 1% drop chance because that was the first type of promo of this type.
I know on the wiki it says 25% now, i think it was changed to match all the other promos since.

I seem to remember flak and draped armour were both ultra rare drops.
They were selling for 1 mil crowns when the promo was out.

Would like an answer from a GM or someone really old who remembers too :)

They were not rare, in a sense

Their drop chance was the same as all the others. They had never been seen before, so they were rare items. They also look cool, which raises the values of items in sk quite a bit.

You're doing it wrong. Let me quote the wiki:

"25% - One Surge Costume Armor:
Surge Flak Jacket, Surge Draped Armor, Surge Fur Coat, Surge Cloak, Surge Brigandine, Surge Plate Mail, Surge Cuirass, Surge Scale Mail, Surge Culet, Surge Raiment"

See, there isn't a true 25% chance of getting the jacket. There's a 25% chance of getting a chance at getting a jacket.
Nothing guarantees you'll win it above all the other surge armors.

Jiker, i'm still nearly 100%

Jiker, i'm still nearly 100% sure they were ultra rare drop, not just because they hadn't been seen. Really want an admin to clarify this.

itsh shooooo unique O3O

just a theory, but i do believe that the high price was due to flak not existing anywhere else at the time
unique style = lots of crowns
it went for 300k crowns when i got mine, so it's just logical for it to be expensive

Be excellent to one another

The 1% you are referring to is the Hacked Aura. I do believe that the flak and draped were all part of the "normal" surge costume drop-rate. I can't prove it with any links but I was around at the time.
