'ello , reading this thread , i see that you are working on the game's drop rates , considering how not even the developer that promised me the answer never got me the numbers i wanted to know , i should may as well help your massive research project. Important Thing To Know :
The drop rates are not just as simple as %gray items , %blue items , %purple items and %yellow items , due to how the game has proggressed as well as the items have been released since beta , the items are now devided into many...more complicated categories. The Current Category Of Items Within The Game's Price Pool :
- Gray filler normal items , no one uses these things , serve no purpose other than being a filler so you have lower chances of legendaries
- Rare filter items , similar to normal items , a false idea of something "better" - Purple Epic Items : [As for the current state , there are 2 types of purple items]
+ Purples that can be evolved into myth , pretty much items everyone uses , the f2p's only hope
+ Filler nonsense Purple Items that can only be evolved into epic or legendary only tier , a trap for mindless newbie grinders that just grind and max a cool lookin' item only to reallize they can't myth it.
- Yellow Legendary Items : The holy golden grail of SM...only during the betas where every legendaries , due to the current meta , yellow legendaries are devided into more categories.
+ Decent Yellow Legendaries : Legendaries that starts at purple tier , moderately decent enough for the newbies to cut down their grinding time by skipping the evolving from epic to legendary process.
+ Oudated L-Ms : L-Ms that are considered godly in the past but no one in their right mind would use now , powercreep and all that / Examples : Mortal Bullet , Purifier , Big Daddy , Desert Fury , Bull Dog , L-M Hybrid Cannons
+ Fake/Filler Legendaries : These nonsense clog the price pool of legendary items along with the decent ones so you are even less likely to win THE TRUE YELLOW LEGENDARIES. What are true legendaries you ask ?
+TRUE YELLOW LEGENDARIES. : The true holy grail , the shinest yellow light you dedicated your heart and soul and hours of your life mindlessly grinding for , these items are top meta items that will guide you toward that shiny pixelated medal so you can brag all about it to other Little Timmies on the playground with , these items only start out at Legendary and usually are the most recently backfire items
Major Examples : Unstable Incel Power Cell , any of the elemental saw blades , any of the cockpit piercers , furry shotguns
have fun on your research
