OK, I am officially annoyed. I have saved up keys for 3 weeks aaaannd... no Vault Blitz! And worse, I can guess the reason why: a special Halloween skins VB next week :-P
C'mon Plarium, it used to be you'd sneak in a 1-week special Blitz when you had a scheduling issue with a holiday. Now we just get to sit on it for an extra week for the "special reward" of a holiday skin blitz. Which means less A-Coins in the blitz bar and lower odds of winning A-Coins in the Fortune Crates. Stop cheaping out! Just stop it! You're pissing in my Cheerios here!!  |

Yep. I was annoyed too. I went ahead and spun two 10s and hit 50k for both, I guess that makes up for the wait.

I spun six 5s to help me get credits for max Panther. I'll get some more keys before the new one starts.

Yea the partners asked about it too. Didnt get a solid response as to why. I figured it would be just like you said S1E1; 1-week vault blitz, then an event crate rush around Halloween skins like they did with the sunrise ones.
But maybe they got bad metrics and feedback from the sunrise one. Enough to limit the Event crate rush to high-end weapon/mech events. Not sure though.
Either way. I want my vault blitz yo.

I'll get some more keys before the new one starts. 5 key vault has that 6,250 credit reward that is just too low in value and has an absurdly high chance of landing. The 10 key vault cost 2x the amount of keys but has a minimum 4x the amount of credits (25,000). It is the goldilocks chest for A-Coins and credits for sure. |

To reinforce this, I was spinning 10s to clear out my skins, and got credits 9/10 times. Moved on to 20s and have only not gotten a skin 2x out of 8. 10 for credits if you have lowered the amount of skins available. However, If you still have a lot left to win... I am not sure how that would play out. |

I am not sure how that would play out. Yeah, you have to check the percentages to see. There are tiers of skins. When a skin is won, the remaining skins of that tier have their percentage chance go up. Only when all skins of the tier are won do the percentages on other tiers of skins, A-Coins, and credits change. I made sure to get the lower set of skins in the 5 key vault done before going to the 10 key vault. I presently only have 4 skins left in the 5 key vault but have a very low drop chance. Since that low 6,250 credit prize exists there, I go for the 10 key vault. The 4 skins of the lower tier are here with a 2x chance to land them over the 5 key vault plus the other tier of exotic skins as well. The 20 key vault has even higher chances to land those exotic skins plus chances at the prototype skins. However, I would get only half the pulls than if I do the 10 key vault and nothing in the 20 key vault concerning A-Coins or Credits has more than 2x of what can be found in the 10 key vault. Okay, you could get 2,500 A-Coins in the 20 key vault but its odds are so low to win that. Like the chance one would have had trying to get the Disc Launcher 12 in the last event!     |

I stuck it out and rolled until I had no more skins in my 5s and then moved to my 10s. Not one time did I attempt roll a 20 until the 10s were bare. Truth be told the 10s have been a great source of credits, Now , that’s just how I worked my vaults.

I spun the 10 key chest just now and got a Surge(?) skin. Now I have 23 skins left in there. I only had 4 skins in the 5 key thing. Disappointed, I bought a $5 offer and got 74,000 credits and stuff. Edging toward that max Panther. Edit: I now have 3 skins in the 5 key box. And what is up with these percentage chances now?  Part of 10 key box below  |

Once I did this I went through the skins pretty quick, now im just on legend skins in the 20s.. until they add a new bot... but the spider bot didnt come with skins that fell into the 5/10 crates so that was nice. |

Even though it appears bugged for you, I bet you can still look at the numbers and see the relativistic chance of getting a particular selection. If spinning the 5 key chest, you look like you have about a 10x chance of getting the crappy 6,250 credit selection over the three remaining skins. I suggest sticking with the 10 key chests going forward. |

So i've been following some advice I saw on YT a while back that 10s are the way to go for best bang for your cheese. I was/am too lazy to crunch the numbers.
What I'm reading (please correct me if im wrong), is that most of you would try to empty the skins on the 5s them move on to the 10s?
With the benefit of your current experience, would you go the same route as you did before and if not, what would you have changed?

The thing I'm debating now is when/if I am able to roll the 20's ( I have a glitch going on that cause the game to restart when I try to roll 20s) , will I? There are tooooo many good resource for the price. You will see a switch when you hit 6 stars, acoins are plentiful and credit become the challenge. |

Welp, not as sure about my Halloween skins theory now that they're offering last year's skins in a special Event Crate. Personally I wouldn't pay 300 A-Coins or 80,000 Credits for the chance to win random bat-themed kiddie pajama skins, but to each their own. More interestingly, it does look like folks get another chance at older skins - these bat skins were the first ones offered for only a limited time and now they've repeated. So I think we can expect other skin collections to do the same. And it does seem like this is a smart way to do it. If someone really wants to complete an old collection of skins, offering it again separately but at not too much cost seems like a good mechanism. So with the delayed Vault Blitz, does this mean they will be offering a new Halloween design next week? Perhaps something Robin-themed? Guess we'll find out next Monday. Tune in same bat time, same bat channel... (sorry, couldn't resist)  |
