PSA - Don't worry [as much] about Weapon Variants

Well, you skip it, but you still have to deal with the now worthless I-X regular drops stealing your money.

He should just say what the weighting is.

This guy has 7 other rare character cards past X without even rank I of Batarian.

I assumed he was referring to weapons only, and the weighting applying to variants of an individual weapon.

Yeah, I played all day and just now finally got a Batarian. After getting Salarian Architect and another to level 15, and a few more character cards for all other Gold characters I already had at X, of course.

Plenty of people have maxed out purely on credits, no AndromedaBux spent. Were I not lazy I could run the odds for you to have unlocked all URs except Kineticst I. It's low, but not unfathomably low.

You'll get tired of it again once you max the new rares and you'll be tired of it for 3 times longer.

Everybody has that one hole in their manifest that hasn't been filled.

Except the people that don't Scratch that. Everyone


(Okay fine except weirdos who spent 59 million credits yesterday to re-max their manifests.)

I got him in the first pack .. Should I continue to buy expensive packs I'm sure they would pretty much be batarian, batarian ... X+ Cards will start to drop after the batarian is also X .. 
Same story with UR (hello_isaac reports he had maxed UR prior to 1.09). He pretty much got kishocks until it maxed ... Then the X+ craziness starts (chars and guns)..

Yesterday spent 6.1M on Premium packs. Had maxed manifest before 1.09.

Salarian Operator XI
Human Kineticist XIII
P.A.W. (Concussive) I
Naladen (Bulwark) I
Ushior (Siphon) I
Kishock Harpoon Gun IX

UR drop-rate 26,2%

Batarian Scrapper XII

Free Apex Elite Pack got me additional Batarian Scrapper and Salarian Operator.

No, you're correct, I had rare characters maxed and got about 5 extra unlocks before Batarian I. Peddro just got lucky. 

I had 13 million credits to burn last night.... decent amount to notice a few trends:

- The UR variants, WOULD NOT drop until I had the Kishock 10. I was getting UR character cards, but not a single variant UR dropped until Kishock was level 10. After that, then variant guns dropped.

- Maybe this was pure luck, but the rare variant cards would drop the level 1 of a gun... and continue dropping a different level 1 gun. I didn't get a level 2 variant until all the rares had a level 1 gun of the same variant. So Talon Siphon 1, Scorpion Talon 1, Halberd Siphon 1 etc.......... and once all the siphons dropped, then I got a level 2. I didn't get all concussive or bulwarks, and the ones I do have are level 1. But I did get all the rare siphons, and only those guns went to level 2 and up.

Not sure if that is a pure coincidence, but it was almost as if RNG was waiting for me to have every gun in a certain variant before dropping the level 2 cards.

- None of the new mods dropped for me. I assume they're last on the list of things to fall, as characters & guns will fall first. Once those max out, then the mods will start dropping. Otherwise, you can buy them with mission funds right now which is stupid.
