I'm a horrible person and bought $10 worth of these boxes since they're on sale. Ended up getting the FFAR and Iron Jim, so it was worth it.

How many boxes do you get ?

I'm assuming 10 boxes, since $10 gets you 1100 points and Rares are 200 a pop. And because it's a sale.

Then it would be 11 boxes. Can't you do simple math? :v:

Edit: That got me gently caress and all for drops. Dammit.

I dropped 10 bucks and all I got was a bunch of bodies and a combat knife. :(

It's a good thing I got an FFAR from a free box just before I did that or I'd be really pissed.

edit - If today wasn't payday, I doubt I would have bought any points.

FFAR trip report:

Core: this gun needs three attachments minimum plus one of the stabilizing sights. Recoil is kind of bad. 4 shot kill from most distances. BOA3, high cal, stock and fast mags are my current build and I'm doing well with it. Already have the 100 headshots finished and all were in core.

Hardcore: Ho. Lee. poo poo. This thing owns, even bare. I switched over to check it out and grind out the no attachments camo and managed to get all of my bloodthirsties and rapid kills in two games. That's crazy since I've never unlocked those two first. Ever. I'm still shy of the no attachments kills on it.

I hope you enjoyed my essay on the FFAR.

Tldr: I paid to win in hardcore.

Garand owns. I still have to get used to not reloading but this game is pretty great. Using a Garand + shadow claw combo cracks me up.

I'm probably gonna spend $10 this weekend.

I got the HG 40 and the butterfly knife in crates today so far. My box mojo is strong (but apparently not strong enough to get the Marshall).

Edit: in an ambien haze last night I bought more boxes and got the RSA and the skull splitter too. Definitely a pay to win weekend.

Flankensttein: A name given to a FPS gamer who constantly flanks to get kills.

"So I was playing COD yesterday, and some flankenstein came up from behind and shot me."
So my 2 month old PS4 decided to take a poo poo during COD last night. Sorry about dropping like that, but I took it back and they gave me a new shiny one should be on later after my day drinking is done.

Me too also as well. I officially only need 3 bloodthirsties to finish that horrid piece of poo poo sniper once and for all at least until the next 2x weapon xp where I will inevitably grind it to oblivion and get the kill counter :ssh:

This is why I don't want to prestige many guns that need attachments. Grind sucks, and all I get to do is add the word COCK to my gun? Naaaaah.

Though I might for the ever-so-useful KRM and Argus. Definitely for the launchers, too.

I'm just being a completion masochist. I've done it will every other weapon. Now I have seven new ones to work on. :(

Most people think Call of Duty is bad because Call of Duty is designed specifically for most people to think it's good.

And other fpses that follow the Call of Duty formula all fail because it makes them all bad games.

But Call of Duty doesn't fail by following the Call of Duty formula that most people think is bad because...

Everyone that tries to copy CoD fails, because none of them do the one thing it perfected, which was how moving/aiming with the right stick works.

See: every Ubisoft game ever, whether first or third person, having the shittiest aiming/camera movement in the industry for fifteen years.

Did you have the marshall before this weekend? Because I unlocked 7 weapons total, three of which were guns, and the only two I wanted were the FFAR and the Marshall (which I didn't receive). I'm tempted to pay $10 more dollars. Tell me what to do great swami!

I did, but not very long before that...I got the FFAR yesterday and that was the last one I needed

I've spent like $250-$300 - some of it my own money, some of it gift cards - I can tell you what everyone else who's crunched numbers on these has said, buying keys doesnt give you a greater chance of earning anything - aside from the sheer volume of keys you can buy as opposed to earning. Most of my decent weapons came from keys I earned. As I posted above, I've gotten the Garand a stupid amount of times - my breakdown is probably like this:

Garand 5/6 times
HG40 x2
Shadowclaw x2
L4 Siege x1
FFAR x1
Terribly bad sniper rifle x2
Marshall x1

I like the drops mostly for the cosmetic stuff tbh

I went ahead and dropped another $10 in the machine. Second roll was the Marshal. I'm keeping the points for when the next weapons get released because I don't care about any of the skins. I should have a poo poo load of crypto keys by then too.
