Silver-chests serve that weird group of people who have played enough to have already finished grinding the things they want to use (and therefor has not much left to waste silver on), but haven’t played the game for long enough to have recieved the unique squads they want. I am one of these people, but surely I must be a minority?
Newcomers who have squads or weapons they missed out on don’t have the silver to waste (certainly not in the ammounts to have any real chance to get what they want), and veterans whilst they have the silver already have the things already. In short, the system is not really that good.
You can also not guarantee drops for a certain faction, or exclude one you don’t intend on playing. I have recieved several Soviet squads and weapons (it’s the most of what I’ve gotten), but I’m never going to play the Soviets, so it’s utterly worthless to me.
Or they could also add gold order weapons as new reward. So we would have 3% for primary weapons, 3% for gold order weapons, 3% for melee+pistol as separate weapon pool.
I think you guys should please reconsider on moving this to down tier, it is rarely seen and is rarely effective, perhaps in lower BR this can be of use, I have one but I cant use it on BR 2 or 3 without being thrown out to the faster planes. I just hope the devs would reconsider this, this item has potential just locked in at higher BR.
I mean, QoL changes are always welcome, fingers crossed we get a warning about a stray piece of BR5 equipment in a BR2 lineup at some point without manually checking everything. The Boosters change is very nice for sure.
