I saved up and got a couple of 1000 key chests this season. Did ok; got a Fury, Chimera components. and components for Halo. I have to wonder though...would I be better off getting 10 or 100 key chests...? What’s the general consensus on which chests offer the best bang for the buck?

I go for gold, because others just clutter the inventory and no substantial advantage to justify it. If you are especially Au hungry, then bronze might be the way to go. |

I've been wondering the same thing. Bronze chests used to be amazing, then they got toned down, then they got substantially hit, now I think they might have improved a bit.
Has anyone run the numbers recently?

I cycle every season, this season, I binged free Bronze Chests and only opened Gold Chests, last season I only opened Silver and the season before that, Bronze all the way.
Though with the Chest nerfs in the past I don't know if this is worth doing anymore, so I plan on sticking to Gold for the foreseeable future, big chunks of loot, you may not get what you wan,t but you're one step closer to something you might wanna try.

Has anyone run the numbers recently? Bronze is mostly 10-12k Ag, 7-10 Au , 500-700 Tokens and a random Boa - Vityaz - Griffin this season. Oh, and a scarce Key Booster. |

I usually save up enough keys for 3-5 silver chests, then open them all at once, it's been pretty good to me. I seem to have better luck opening multiple. I've never had the patience to save for gold chests.

In my opinion, opening chests comes down to this: Want: - variation of resources? Open Bronze. - variation of non-META bots and weapons? Open Silver. - variation of META bots and weapons? Open Gold. Of course Silvers and Golds can give you resources, too, but don’t count on it.  |

Gold is best. You can't get corona/halos in silver. And if you don't care about energy shotguns, you might land 6k components for one and you can sell it from there. I get 2 or 6k from energy shotguns very frequently, except glory. No luck on that yet. But I'm hoping for halos.
For anyone in or under silver league, silver chest is best to get you some resources. You might get lucky and land, lance, rhino etc. One you have a foundation of strong legacy stuff (2-3 strong bots), go for gold chests to get the best bang for your buck.
Once you have 2-3 bots, don't worry about all 5. As you play, you'll get newer stronger bots to replace those temporary 2 bots (any leftover leo/griffins you have sitting around in your hangar)

If you want gold/silver in small doses, go bronze.
1k is meh, never get what you want.
Silver, I'm apathetic to all of em, but especially silver chests. Mostly meh.

This month gold chests have been very good to me. I got a halo and glory, and pretty much nearly every spin I got what I was actually looking for. I made s simple short video you can see below.
My opinion currently is if you are open to just getting big chunks of components, either because you are unsure what you want to build or are working towards the newest items (this month was energy shotguns), you spin gold. If you want mostly silver and gold, you spin bronze. If you want a chance at some random comps or silver or random weapons, roll silver chests.

Okay, I'm seeing a lot of "I got a ..." but I'm not seeing any numbers. I've seen numbers analysis on the chest drops before, based on Pix's published drop rates and videos of the spins, has anyone done it this time?

I was always a bronze chest guy... the gold payout was quite a bit better than silver or gold chests.
Very hard to say now. The odds of hitting gold seem way down and the payments are much lower than they were.
It changes.. but Pix has gotten very stingy on gold in the leadup to 4.3

Bronze otherwise you will get a bunch of 「dookie」 you don't need and will have wasted at least 100 keys at a time. Only open bronze chests, keep what you want or need, and sell the rest. Silver or Gold are a huge gamble and waste of keys!

From my experience, Gold chest is the better bargain, although Silver chests can give you sweet stuff too. Going for a Gold chest can be risky because you would probably get something you wouldn't like, but if you do get something you want, you'll get it in a large quantity. Going for Silver chests give you a wide variety of items available and it isn't as disappointing to get something that you don't want than it is when playing a Gold chest. The rewards in the Silver chest aren't bad, it's just that you get in a smaller amount than Gold. Bronze isn't that good, it only gives you decent things like silver or tokens. I only use Bronze chests when I have ads to use up. Other than that, I spend my keys on the other two chests.
TL;DR
Go for Gold chests if you like taking risks, go for Silver chests if you like to get a variety of things, and go for Bronze if you like grinding for resources.
