Apex Elite Packs drop rates, for entertainment purposes only. This is *not* scientific for a variety of reasons. Before you get excited about the apparent 35% drop rate for 2+ URs, please see the caveats below. as of 2017-Sep-05 # URs | count | percentage | 0 UR | 2 | 1% | 1 UR | 142 | 64% | 2 URs | 61 | 27% | 3 URs | 14 | 6% | 4 URs | 3 | 1% | Grand Total | 222 |
raw data on [ my Google Drive] (on the 'Apex Elite Packs' tab) The 4 UR reports: [ #1] , [ #2] , [ #3] I compiled this data by scouring BSN and reddit for people's reports of what they received in Apex Elite Packs, dating back to the first reports I could find (on 2017-Jul-20). If you have ever reported what you received, I captured it. Please don't re-report it in this thread.
The reason this is not scientific is that people who received > 1 UR are naturally more likely to be excited about it and to post about it. This skews the data in favor of the > 1 UR packs, which makes the > 1 UR drop rate appear better than it is. Probably. Who can say for sure? Another reason this is not scientific is that very few people provide proof (screenshot, or even a written listing). People's memories could be faulty at the time they post.
Regarding the 2 3 packs with 0 URs (table not updated yet, will be): Those were reported by crashsuit at the time he had his URs maxed. They *are* legitimate parts of the data set. You can't throw out data because it is 'silly' or because 'no one would ever do that under normal circumstances'.

I've actually reported a total of at least three Apex packs with no URs, not two. The one that was for sale early, plus two more when they hit the store again a few days ago. Do those really count though?
Edit: never mind, I saw your note at the bottom, I guess they do count, but still that's silly and nobody would ever do that under normal circumstances
Edit edit: Seems like I might've had one more like that from a ways before, I can't remember, I'd have to go through the drop rate thread to read my old posts

Sometimes it's hard to tell how many packs people have opened. They will post stuff like 'I got 1 UR in the last pack but one, not counting the one I paid for, and 2 URs in the other one before that, but the other one that was not un-free one had 1 also' and I'm like... uh... OK?

I opened 4 this weekend (the reward and 3 in the store)
3 of the packs gave me a double ultra rare. Final pack gave me 1 UR and 2 additional gold cards
Can't complain from my luck, the RNG gods were on my side this weekend.

Do you just want UR drops? And do you include the freebie AEP's (these are the only types I've received). If so, my very humble contribution. Again, all are freebie mission rewards.
XBOX: 4 packs, 4 UR's (all weapons) PC: 2 packs, 2 UR's (1 weapon, 1 char)
If you want all the details, I have those as well.

Not saying you or anyone didn't get it, but its very hard for me to believe, even with the 50M+ i've spent not seeing even a 3 UR pack. Now I know these are the apex packs, but are the stats counting URs from the "same" pack or URs from different packs at different times? Opening up a pack with 4 URs in it I think I'd shyt a brick of lucky charms. Also, if its possible to get 3 URs in an apex pack, that would mean the apex packs are 100% worth the $$$

If you want to report data I prefer to see it pack-by-pack.
Like...
Apex Elite Pack #1: 1 UR Apex Elite Pack #2: 2 UR Apex Elite Pack #3: 1 UR
If you care you can break it down by character vs. weapon or even report the specific items.

See how my apex rating and credits are the same in both images and the medigel goes from one side of the screen to the other?

I got 3 of them over the weekend. 2 of them had 2 URs and the other one I just don't remember because I'm dumb.

I got 3 of them over the weekend. 2 of them had 2 URs and the other one I just don't remember because I'm dumb. See, this is a perfect example of the selective reporting that leads to the data being basically worthless. You remember the packs with 2 URs because that was exciting and noteworthy. You don't remember the other pack because it wasn't exciting nor noteworthy. (We can presume it had only 1 UR, but that is just a guess.) Multiply this behavior by a lot of people and you get skewed data.
In other news I updated the OP with links to the '4 URs in a pack' reports. Only one had a screenshot. I am not giving individual links to all the '3 URs in a pack' reports -- there are too many to list. Consult the raw data on my Google Drive; all the links are there.

Actually, I am like 60% sure it also had 2 URs, but I opened it on Thursday right after work and didn't remember for sure like a day later.
I remembered the other two bc I made an effort to do so specifically so I could tell you.
