It took 147k m tokens for me to drop my first one. No rare tokens ever looted through boxes.
It is possible. I think since it drop in lootwave unless you can kill mobs in few sec, you better drop down in cat to maximize your kill rare, i dropped my first rare token from cat 02 halloween 2023.
Exciting info, only at +30k m tokens so probably have a couple more years without any rares?
Only doing gold usually but many k boxes opened, my new tactic is stop trying and hoping MA messing up and handing out free rare after a failed update ?
I think i was the first person to loot a rare token in boxes, and even got it on stream when they first came out years ago. Then my second one I looted while opening boxes for another player. I felt really sad for him and rather annoyed since I had been trying myself. But he knew ahead of time it was a possibility and I was not offering compensation for them. But i still gave him some extra ped anyways.
These things should be tradeable given how randomly they drop, or a way to earn them consistently by turning mtokens into rare tokens, and maybe even turning rare tokens into mtokens. Like how you can put oils into a crate for space travel and back again. so players that have a lot of mtokens can get rares, or players with a lot of rares but dont have mtokens can convert to save on grinding time.
It’s a competition, if you can’t match someone with a mod nano tier 10 eating hyper acc deva. Perhaps don’t hunt in the same cat. Because your chances of looting a rare token will be very slim ?
I don’t think small categories have a better chance of dropping rare.
It’s simply an illusion due to the fact that more people hunt in small cat.
An effect that’s increased by this belief, since more and more people are going small cat.
Wait a bit more and nobody’s hunt anymore in big cat, then people will say big cat NEVER drop rare. (indeed it will if nobody shoot there)
I think the chances of dropping are regulated according to the category, taking into account that fewer mobs are killed in the same amount of time in big cat.
