so is the rng working properly now =P
I was about to write how I got those two, but I would have to hear how the rng it tooootally working properly and not at all in the way that I just equipped both these weapons on my bounty hunter before opening the vaults, and somehow, magically, I get those two weapons from the same vault… kinda like the time I just equipped rapier and crossbow and somehow got those two from the same vault… two times, back to back. But I am sure it is all just coincedence

sigh, i don’t know man. i still believe it’s RNG, but only fatshark can really say for sure.
I think it is rng, but badly implemented rng that suffers during the communication with the “loot server”.

Honest question, why still open boxes when the duplicates are so bad? I got to the point where I had 3 necks, 4 charms, 3 trinkets (my only non-shield melee red is 2h hammer) then just stopped opening them entirely.
At some point they’ll fix the problem and then I’ll open my 100+ legend chests and get the reds I actually want, and should’ve had already, instead of having 12+ of each jewelry.
Granted it’s not a good solution, but continuing to open chests just seems like an exercise in frustration.

I agree but the thing is they shouldn’t be retroactively altering the drop rate of chests though. They shouldn’t be punishing players for opening chests just because their dumb system is broken.

Whether or not it’s retroactive, the optimum strategy is still to hoard chests (if you already have gear) since the worst case is the same as opening them now.
Speculating, chests are generated when you open them, so most changes to the loot system would benefit hoarders. Unless they redesign the chest system to prevent hoarding at least.
The logic ‘these players suffered duplicates, so these other players should suffer too’ made me laugh though.
The logic of “players get better rewards for not actually participating in the reward system or providing the reward feedback that actually leads to change” is just as stupid.

I’m still opening chests because I haven’t got any of the main weapons I want… meanwhile I’m on 2-3 of every other weapon lol. Once I do get the two weapons I want, I will start hording chests and wait for a patch.
I’m hoarding in the hope they put in bad luck protection and dupe protection and I can just plug away opening things until I get what I want.
I’m doing the same but fs will probably make it so that old boxes will not open with the current “no red dupe rate” or smtn stupid along those lines.
