Yet another battlepack issue

★ Apprentice

So I have the same battlepack problem as others where I do not get any after game progress on the battlepack gauge or bar unless I have completed a DLC map.   Base maps give me no progress and this has been happening since the EA update in Jan.  Now after earning a battlepack once in a while, I usually get a 30 or 90 scrap value but have not seen a 270 in months.  And I never get that secondary battlepack where you might get a Squad Boost.   Nothing nada.  I need 2 legendary skins both parabellum and I have 2500 scraps but at this rate if they both come up I will only be able to get 1 and my only solution would be to buy battlepacks before the next weeks exchange comes out.   Can you imagine having to buy battlepacks to get your last skin?  Why can't some junior programmer be assigned to fix this crap?

I don't know anything about the progress error, but it's no wonder you're not getting legendary skins from the end-of-round battlepacks as they contain the largest pool of skins and are designed to mostly give you the cheapest skins, ocassionaly the distinguished ones and rarely the legendary ones. Personally, the last time I got a legendary skin from an end-of-round battlepack was in May or June. Also if you're missing "Paul Klee" and "Otto Dix" skins for Parabellum, do not buy battlepacks to get them - these skins are exchange-exclusive and don't ever drop from battlepacks. You would be just wasting your scraps.

Yes I am missing Paul Kee and Otto Dix.  Only two skins I need. How do you know those will never show from dropped battlepacks?  I believe you as it does seem several legendary skins only came from exchange.  Thanks!

I have 6 copies of the game in total. In none of my accounts have I experienced issues with legendary loot from the end-of-round battlepack.
Both Origin and Steam, tested on different systems as well.

 

Screenshot of a legendary skin drop on my main account with a date attached:

In both cases legendary skins from the end-of-round battlepack. The reason why I haven't screenshotted anything in the recent weeks is because I just stopped snapping every single drop as I already have everything and the fact that the screenshot folder size is becoming too big at this point. But legendary skins do continue to drop normally from the end-of-round battlepack.


Problems with the battlepack economy don't affect individual players, if you are having an issue then all of the players would be affected by it, and it certainly doesn't affect how the pool behaves - it doesn't work like that. That's not how the so-called Battlepack Glitch works, because it only then the "I have the same battlepack problem as others where I do not get any after game progress on the battlepack" happens and all of the playerbase is affected by it. Not just individual accounts.


If you have a video footage of the end game screen and how your battlepack's progression behaves for both a base and a DLC map - I'm curious to see it.

In both cases - finished matches that lasted longer than 5 minutes (instructively).

 

"Can you imagine having to buy battlepacks to get your last skin?"


Yes, I can imagine, I've already spent nearly 60k scraps just to obtain a single skin, on battlepacks until I obtained my very last skin (Sjorgen's Carl Axel).


And the two skins that you've mentioned don't drop from battlepacks, so you could only get them from the Exchange

@StrikerBait  Hi, here's a complete overview of legendary skins including information about whether they drop from battlepacks or not. Clearly the Otto Dix and Paul Klee are exchange-exclusive (it's the same style of skins as e.g. Pozzuolo and Monte Ortigara for Perino or Cobadin and Monastir for Mosin, which are also exchange-only). Overview not mine, credit goes to maria_paraskeva of Reddit.

I will get back to you with video as this happens on my account I have had since 2017.  But my alt account which maybe I have had for 3 year and seldom play is working fine.  Both are EA.  I have done the repair several time and I even reinstalled so I think this is account related.   I will make a youtube and post here later today.  Thank you for the feedback!
