It's really a misfortune to anyone who opens a IRON lockbox nowadays and gets out of all prismatic stuff with that 1% chance of being choosen, it had to be a prismatic bolted vee.
Like seriously, I know nothing can't be done but after that prismatic bolted vee fiasco at supply depot they are a whole lot more common and still being inside the IRON lockboxes is just unfair.

I opened about 32 IRON lockboxes and all of the stuff prismatic i could've possible get was a prismatic bolted vee... I have nothing to say.

It's unfair, it's sad, it's mean...

That's all I can say... can't do anything about my unfortunate loss.

Beats me.

Idk what they're trying to achieve with this.

Why hello there high paying players!

We heard everyone got several thousand Prismatic Bolted Vees a few months ago due to a number slip, so now we are going to make everyone pay for them slowly over time through the power of Silver Keys and monthly Lockboxes! Once all Vees get paid off, then and only then will we reveal the true Gunner Update.

Good Luck

You're still more likely to unbox a fancy maid headband or a dusky barrel belly than you are a prismatic bolted vee. I'd say that the odds there are an even worse tragedy, considering that as my friend Poetry said, people that pay should get something of value.

It wasn't a glitch, it was a manual slip.

@Melonfish Fixed that.

As for my own thoughts on this, it annoys me. I don't open boxes often and have never gotten anything good, but it is painful just thinking that there is a now a new part to the win/lose gambling that comes to boxes. High chance to get something low quality, low chance to get something high quality, rare chance of getting something entirely pointless.

Which is exactly why I don't trust these Lockboxes. It would be safer to buy what you need from other players.

@Holy

According to SEGA they should, apparently.

According to me, people shouldn't get any unique + useful weapons out of boxes, without there being free alternatives.

@Everyone else

How is this any different from unboxing the other crummy items? Boxes have varied from being 70/30 splits to being 80/20 splits to being 30/70 splits. This is like... a 1% difference, if not far less. The items we're talking about are all equally crappy to receive.

Look! A forum post! /laugh

This is why they brought out all those random lockboxes, I.E: Silver, titanium, whatever the new one is this month, (haven't been in game to know) to try and change the box drops. Even though I opened five silvers, and two items were old crummy items, I was still pleased that the others gave me targeting modules.

It also gives the deprived art team something to do. (not that the last 11 or so boxes weren't something...)
