Yeah titles have never been my strong suit. That aside.
Way back in the Meridian Update, I had started writing down what I got out of Gold Packs, out of curiosity and my fondness for useless statistics if nothing else. I continued that tradition each update with the goal of opening 100 packs per update to get a better idea of just how rare/common certain items were. Of course, I often came a little short of that goal for one reason or another, but I’ve got it done this time.
It’s easy for one to say they opened dozens of packs and never got a single X or Y, but that’s off the top of their head. Sometimes the actual count is off by a bit. Here though, I’m able to say with utmost certainty I never got a single ONI Wasp out of those one hundred packs. Yep, not a single one.

Same. They’re insanely rare, but then again they’re pretty tough - especially so in the right hands. If you do pilot one, for the love of all that is decent in the world treat it with CARE - it may be ages before you see another DX
I’d have thought I’d get more standard Wasps and at least a few ONI’s, but alas - just 7 from those 100, and not an ONI in sight.
That’s insanely crazy that you got 0 oni wasps and 1 Hannibal wasp, but 8 Jorge’s Chainguns. 8**!!!** You can get 8 legendary mythics, but 0 ultra rares?

The six Hannibal Mantises had me scratching my head as well, especially when I got two in the same pack at one point.
Overall the item balance seems relatively fair, at least compared to launch when there was an unhealthy emphasis on Mongeese and Warthogs, but sometimes I’m sitting there looking at the list of mine growing while my Wasp count remains pitifully low…

I have only 3 wasps and one Hannibal. And yeah, warthogs are almost useless unless you have a Mic and a good driver.

Or a good gunner if you’re the one that wants to drive xD
I’ve got thirty of every legendary 'hog and over a dozen Vespins since I rarely use any of them. I drive up to a guy in an ONI Warthog. He just runs by me. I drive up to another and honk, he shoots me with his assualt rifle and runs off.
So I drive up to a guy in a tattered ghost. He prefers his ghost to my ONI hog, and dies a minute later.
In the same match I call in a Vespin. Surely they’d find that interesting? Repeat the above more or less, and end it with me getting sniped out of it while I’m in the turret all alone.
I’ve had drivers that think it’s smart to drive right up to wraiths or into enemy armories that are still fully occupied, and there’s those fantastic pillars of the community that get a chuckle out of driving your hog off a cliff when you let them drive.
I always curse silently under my breath when I call in a Random Vehicle II or III and it gives me a warthog of some sort xD But wow the feeling of love when you call a RV I and get an Anti-Air Wraith, or a Hannibal Mantis out of a RV II…

Once upon a time on Sanctum, I reckt this guy out of his Hannibal wasp with a railgun. I then stole his wasp and flew into my teams home base, up the corridor with stairway leading to the central REQ station. I equipped wheelman, in addition to damage boost, and took off to raise havoc Unfortunately, as I attempted to take off in the wasp, it managed to wedge itself between two walls, jamming it, then ultimately reckting itself and me—how frustratingly ironic! I lost a free Hannibal wasp and REQ level 6 damage boost…

ROFL!! This happened to me last night on Apex in the caves… I was so mad.

I feel your pain. Once I got one in a Random Vehicle (!!) and got stuck on the mancannon on the Armory by (Blue Base I think it is?) on Apex 7. It just got wedged between the wall and the cannon, and I eventually suicided trying to get it unstuck since every time I tried to push it the thing caused damage to me for some reason ;v;
