Epic Container fail

guess I have a new weapon to focus on building... I've got an epic ex cannon on the go, so at the drop rate I'll be good in say 4 1/2 years

 

I'm just waiting till my defender get to mk6 to equip a beautiful lube on it I also liked it on my fixer while my standard shield is still 10, please RNGezus give me another epic standard shield

 

If you run Defender lube and rudder are probably worth it, but they aren't applicable to any other boat. A fast turret on a Defender would be awesome fun.

 

If you are a shooter who uses napalm or fire bombs, luber is great. Rudder on a speeder is fun to play as well. Any of them could also be equiped on a fixer.

 

I figured I'd follow up on this again because today I got a "reward" deal for reaching Level 45, for a $20 container. I just opened a 6th Container with pearls. As a Shooter, do you think I have incentive to spend cash when this is what I get?

Container 1: Epic Repair Box
Container 2: Epic Repair Pulse, Epic Frost Launcher
Container 3: Epic Fire Bomb, Epic Big Shield
Container 4: Epic Tesla Bolt, Epic Big Shield
Container 5: Epic Tape, Epic Triple Torp

In hindsight, Fire Bomb was actually the only useful item because RNGeezus decided to rain on me so many Epic Big Shields I've been scrapping them. I've yet to receive 5 of anything else... though I wouldn't actually rule out Tape or Triple Torp because I scrap them all.. those and Standard Mortar (Which happens to be my only RNG Legendary! ).

Look, I appreciate variety, but it's inversely proportional to the actual item distribution (19 red, 6 blue, 6 yellow, and 4 green), and particularly annoying when I'm only looking for Red. Is 5 Containers statistically relevant? Eh.. maybe not... but even if not it takes too long to save up 3900 pearls to get enough containers to be statistically relevant.

It was a rhetorical question, I know, but this is what happens with RNG games.

 

Eh, against my better judgement I opened another Container... This is my running results to date (looks like I mistakenly added a container in my last list.. I'll fix it so that this doesn't look odd)

Container 1: Epic Repair Box
Container 2: Epic Repair Pulse, Epic Frost Launcher
Container 3: Epic Fire Bomb, Epic Big Shield
Container 4: Epic Tesla Bolt, Epic Big Shield
Container 5: Epic Tape, Epic Triple Torp
Container 6: Epic Small Shield

Item color distribution is very underwhelming as a Shooter (or Defender?), but otherwise a remarkably even distribution of item color, though not proportional of the number of item per color. Green boats would really appreciate this distribution. One more Epic item would have brought it closer to the 10% Epic rate for non-guaranteed Premium Creates, but I don't think I've actually seen an upside surprise from RNG boxes in this game, always seems to be a bit under. On the bright side I combined the pieces for an Epic BC... still need one more!
