    How many battles have you had? It's hard to get epic dupes until like level 30.

    He's talking about rare dupes, not epic dupes.

    You don't need a dev to repeat the same message. RNG is random so sometimes it may take a looong time to get what you're looking for. But sometimes you might get lucky and get two of them in the same day. Thing is, you never know in this game.

    Yeah it’s just RNG, there is no conspiracy.

    I've been playing for about 9 months, 7,000 battles, and have yet to receive an epic turbo or overboost. It happens.

    These are all correct. True randomness means you have absolutely zero guarantees of getting an item at all; never mind more than once. I ran a simulation of 75 crate openings and 25 piece combines - in that, I ended up with two items that had no duplicates; a Cannon, and a Standard Mortar. While that's not a big deal to you as a Speeder, a Defender player who wanted to play the close-range rapid-fire pew-pew game with a Cannon would be quite miffed.

    (I don't think anyone would miss the Standard Mortar though.)

    I see two problems here:

    The first is "meta". Players devise "best builds" for a given boat and other plays , predictably, want to emulate those best builds. So suddenly the lack of a <xxx> seems like a crucial problem when in fact numerous other choices would've been almost as good (and some of them better as new, undiscovered metas). This is simply a mismatch between the mindset of the developers (which is that you should build with what you have) and the mindset of players (I want "the best"). In the case of the OP, is flare really a required weapon? Surely there are a wide variety of other weapons which could be mounted which would also work.

    The second problem is when you get to something like turbo. That item is not really optional in this game. Having a good turbo changes the fundamental nature of the play all by itself. In my opinion this is more a problem with turbo being too powerful than RNG. On my M4 speeder I only had 1 rare small shield so I swapped out with epic bandages instead. But what, exactly, would I use to replace "no turbo"? RNG systems fail spectacularly when the players, rightly or wrongly, decide that any particular item is "mandatory".
