To guarantee at least one UR from normal UR boxes, you have to spend 1 miliion. How did you get that figure? As in, what probability constitutes a guarantee in your calculations? Because it will never be 100% for any arbitrarily large finite number of packs. There is a 10 pack streak breaker. If you don't get an Ultra rare item in 9 packs it will always give one in the 10th for premium, arsenal, and reserve (but independently, so you can buy 9 prem, 9 arse, and 9 res but not get one, but your next of each will have one)

Didn't they remove it in the previous patch as a "bug"? I distinctly remember reading something like that in the patchnotes.

Considering the luck of my first Elite pack on Xbox (4 URs) I figured that drained my luck for a while. Besides I have 2 x all gold weapon cards x 30 + 2 x all characters x 10 to unlock, so PAR packs are better.

So the debate is either 6 premiums - providing ~1.5 UR's on average, and 10.5 Rares. As well as 18 consumables and boosters. (assumes 12% drop rate per slot + streakbreaker) or 1 APEX Elite - providing ?? UR's on average, and 10-?? Rares. As well as 5 XP booster IV. ... The value of ?? makes a big difference here... so far I've gotten 2 UR's in each of the 2 APEX Elite packs I've received from prestige/promotions. Not exactly a large data set. I know in other threads from the first APEX Elite pack promotion some people received more and less.
Let's assume the first slot is automatic, and the remaining per slot drop rate on the 9 "non-automatic UR slots" is 10-12%, that would amount to roughly 1.9-2.1 UR's per pack. Which makes them strictly superior from an UR viewpoint. The loss of rares and boosters is the downside, but you'd still see 4 rares for each 1 UR, which means they'd still get done... Uncommons will be an issue. Of course the math behind UR generation in the new packs is a raw hypothesis and may be completely wrong. Go into the world and generate dataz!

It's between 1 and 3, for sure. If I had to hazard a guess without having good data I'd suggest a range of like 1.5-2.3 for the average.

For me there were a Naladen, a Dhan and an X5 Ghost in the pack:
