    I’m not some troll foaming at the mouth demanding percentage odds because if these kids had any intelligence they’d understand since scrapping doesn’t involve the use of real money in any way it’s absolved from Loot Box rules...BUT...

    I took a few months off from burnout...at the time I’d occasionally scrap 20-30 commons a day. They were very rare, but I’d occasionally get an epic piece. Like I said, very rare, but I did.

    That being said, have things changed in the recent past? I’ve scrapped 1.5 million gold in the past month, and outside of epic materials or the worthless tier level up items, I haven’t received a single epic piece. Not one. Not asking if they yanked those out or if it’s just harder now? I can freely admit if the chance at an Epic piece has been removed entirely, I’ll probably stop scrapping entirely. Thanks!

    As far as we know, nothing has changed. Only the devs know for sure. I doubt they’ve changed it though.

    Yeah I also feel like I haven't gotten anything from commons lately. Even less rare pieces it seems to, but idk if that's just my luck or what

    Every two weeks or so? In the 10 months I've played the game, I never seen odds anywhere near that. There is occasional epic pieces here and there from boxes, but I haven't seen a legendary piece outside of the raffle in 6 months... and 3 months ago that well ran dry too. The latest update where you can earn a legendary item is likely the only way I'll ever get one, and it'll be weaker than the rare/epic items I already have.

    Fun fact, legendary items are automatically better than their rare counterparts. I think you need to level it up like once to make it surpass a rare that you’ve leveled up 49 times. That is some serious parts and materials savings.

    Actually, the basic, untouched Level 1 Legendary is immediately better than a Level 50 Rare.
    My Sniper Cannon does 498 - if I pulled a Legendary, it would do 504. For Epic, the crossover point is around Level 35 depending on the item type and attached perks.

    Stop crying, kid :)
    Just recently I got few legendary pieces from scrapping.

    That is why we need chances - to understand what we doing and not to cry on the forum later "where is my epic pieces"

    More damage doesnt always help, I spent so long trying for a legendary, I didnt learn any skills. So basically all I learnt is to how to shoot only.

    C0834149-536D-4D77-8EC1-D891EA69B388.png Considering the chances of getting Epics from Free Crates is low...chances are scrapping is even lower than that. I think it’s safe to say the more you scrap the better your chances, right?

    Edit 1:
    I will say tho, I have gotten legendary pieces before from both the Free Crates and Scrapping. Although Very, Very, Very Rare. Plus I play a lot which means I scrap a lot.

    I dont play much but I scrap a lot so I got a legendary at 4 months, but since then I havent got any pieces. However it means that while my red items are strong, the rest are very weak on my speeder as I often scrapped epics and rares I could have saved up to get multiple tier 4 rares and maybe tier 4 epics.

    Let's be honest though... for F2P is it faster to level up to a T50 Rare or to get a Legendary? Hint: I've got a half dozen T50 rares, and no Legendary item in sight.

    The problem is that players keep assuming Legendaries are better than their epic or rare counterparts, but that is only if you get Legendary copies! It's super easy to get copies of Rares, and easy to get copies of Epics in comparison. Legendary copies? Ha... good luck with getting a pair, and more good luck getting the pair you want if you aren't in Nightmare AND don't pull out your wallet.

    I think scrapping something gives way to little in return. When I have collected 10 rare or epic item pieces, first you often get not what you want or need and second when you scrap you get 1 item piece and 50 uncommon parts in return.
