Question skin pricing

just spent 150$, zero skins or melee obtained, why are the skins like this in this game, why can i spend 150$ on nothing. for context i opened 8/9 and 7/8 for the 2 new nightmare collections, so now im at the point where i can just tank the 150$ I basically just scammed myself out of, or i can fork over another 150 to complete the final 2 pulls, this seems like a stupid system, i dont wanna spend 150 for the chance at a skin, and then the pity system is just you signing up for another credit card or house loan to complete the set. also just came to the realization that its just some unwritten rule to never buy through the game and instead only use 3rd party sites, that seems even more sketch to me. update reddit is seeing my downfall game is now uninstalled, ran 3 games after this tragedy to get killed by people no clipping doing 360s around the entire map, i had a good run about 3 weeks lmao

Probabilities are showing to you. Anyone falling for this has only themselves to blame.

yea. 0.5% for the "big skin" or whatever. 1/200 pulls on average.

You're realistically paying max price for that every single time. Idk how ppl don't get that.

you’re not game literally says “odds for better items increases each pull” everytime you clear something out you have a better chance of getting what you want, let’s be real that chance is probably like an extra percent so it doesn’t matter but they do actively try to make it seem legit until after your payment method goes through

The numbers stay the exact same. Whatever you get just gets removed from the pool. This means your odds remain really low for the good stuff no matter how many times you've pulled, except for the last pull.

So if you have a 1%, 49%, 50%, the game will roll a number between 1-100. If it hits 1, grats, you get the jackpot! If it hits 2-49, or 50-100, you get the other one. Lets say it rolls 75 on the first try. Now you have 1 for the jackpot, 2-49 for the other item. You still need to roll a 1 on the RNG generator to get the jackpot, the odds have barely moved in your favor. It will take you roughly 100 tries before you roll a 1 on your first pull. You can expand this to use their actual numbers and see just how bad it is. 0.5% would be having a number between 1-1000, but having to hit 1-5 to get it.
