main issue:

the silver crates becomes bloated with stuff that most don’t need.

not only you gamble milions of silvers for not always good rewards, but as we keep going forward, the content within silver crates gets over-bloated.

so you have to contend between event squads ( the 1%… ) event vehicles, skins, actual weapons, weapons skins, silver, boosters, appearance order, decals, callsign/vehicle/squad/callsign orders etc etc.

and for folks like me that have fully completed the grind, have all or most event squads, and would rather focus on cosmetics. but doing that, it’s just a nightmare as you only get the BP for appearance order and sometimes callsign with some skins that you can’t quite choose. and worse, for weapons, you only get them sometimes through events which most can’t play all the time.

so here is my proposal:

The solution

in my opinion, much like crossout:

Separate / Split the crates:

for those who are not aware, crossout has dedicated crates for pretty much most different things ( perhaps too many, but that game has a different faction system, so it’s kinda okay. but i’m just showing it for the concept )

so, here in enlisted, it should be something similar, aka, having dedicated crates.
but as a starter, the one i’m interestred with, and should be currently in enlisted, you have two crates:

Default Silver crate:

which includes:

  • Events squads
  • Gold Order Soldiers
  • Event Weapons
  • Boosters
  • Weapon Upgrade Order
  • Soldier Upgrade Order
  • Vehicle Upgrade Order

( New ) Dedicated Cosmetic Crate

much like crossout, a dedicated cosmetic crate, in which should include:

  • Appearance orders
  • Callsign Orders ( Delete them already )
  • Decals
  • Vehicle Decorations
  • Weapons skins
  • Vehicles Skins & Gold order vehicles

Why ?

Very simple.
split the actual gameplay items from the cosmetics ones.

if one needs the other, it should not receive the other.

for example, a new player does not need skins or appearance orders.
much like, me, i don’t need weapons, silvers, or pretty much anything that isn’t cosmetic related as i pretty much have what i already need accumulated over the years.

after all, we removed the academy and the RNG from soldiers and weapons, and while yes, in nature, such lootboxes have to do with rng, the rewards should not have different type.

and that is all.

I love pulling a bloody M1919A6 with some bandages on it instead an event gun like SKS-30 or Mkb42(M), who would want to have a unique and cool gun like those? nah. (how much more irony do I need to add here? cmon, this is a joke)

well, i like the concept of weapons skins and at the same time, have unique weapons.

but not in the same place.

at least, imo.

hence why splitting would solve so many things for majority of the people.

while I agree with this post entirely, DF / Gaijin would never change it because it would increase the odds in the non-cosmetic crate to get better items / more items, and so the you need to purchase less crates. So the attraction to buy silver lions decreases i.e less gold sales / less revenue. So while I do 100% agree, it makes more financial sense for them to keep one crate and keep your odds at getting items low, to increase overall revenue to buy gold and lions

well, they could always increase the price of said crates.

after all, you do have higher chances of getting something worth your time.

which % would increase.
but that goes for silver and boosters as well.

or in the cosmetic crate, appearance and callsign orders.

i think it would change very little.
and be more of a QOL.

especially if we consider that, we keep getting more events squads, more event weapons, and more cosmetics.

having plenty for both

It shouldn’t be more expensive considering that the rewards are less important to gameplay. Im sure most veterans would rather have another rmn 50 than some golden pistol anyways. It should either be cheaper or same price but definitely not 10k
