Anyone know if the drop rate has been adjusted on the boardwalk shooting gallery? 0/48 at the moment. Haven't had a game update recently that I'm aware of and didnt see anything on the boards regarding adjustments.

Have I just had a horrific run of luck?

Thanks in advance.

i had one earlier today. i had long periods of no drops, then a few close to one another. it's difficult to predict. try and try again... your luck will surely change! (i hope)

Not that I have noticed... I guess I still get about 1 in 10, at least the cash is good.

And I hope they don't change the drop rate; I like to think of it as a bonus for giving input/feedback and reading this forum.

Seems the same to me.
Its a straight % chance to drop i think.

I just got 2 out of 3 tries at boardwalk.

I will go 20 in a row with nothing, then get three in a row dropped, so all in all the numbers even out. I am thinking you are due for a fiver....LOL!

I'm in a long drought in the junkyard currently. I've hit the scrapbox around 30 times over the course of this morning with no luck :(

Not sure if this true since I have not been looting any M4A1s at boardwalk but according to the NPC loot list on a wiki page it has the following. Suggesting you have to master the level once. Again not sure if this is true.

Boardwalk
Shooting rage – M4A1 (Gun, A/D 20/22)
requires 135 energy, 20 maces, 12 hatchbacks
1:6 success rate (only after mastering lvl 1?)

I have not mastered that level and I get the standard drop rate of 1 in 10 and have all along. Got more this morning.

I think a lot of drop rates on that spreadsheet are pure speculation.

I've not mastered that area (hard to achieve) and sometimes I got 1:2 dropping rate. If mastered that area help fixed the dropping rate at 1:6, I would never master that area.

Thanks for the heads up, I have not gotten to looting M4A1s at boardwalk yet but its good to know that mastering the level does not effect the drop rate. I don't like mastering some levels and do not intend on doing boardwalk, costs to much energy, time, cash for buying items for jobs, and gain too much experience.

recently I got more frequent 1:2 dropping rate from that place. Look like the new area share the work load. The new M4A1 looting place also good, more chance for 1:2 dropping rate but the energy is double the boardwalk.

Check this out...

I decided to bite the bullet and buy the necessary equips for the boardwalk shooting game to see if I got better odds at nabbing an M4A1 than I have been lately at the junkyard.

Try number one: jackpot
Try number two-six: nothing
Try number seven: jackpot

So far it's trending very closely 1:6

random factor -- there's no way of knowing the rate unless you had, say 30 people in the study.

Well... Get on it. I would love to see the results of this study. When do you plan on releasing your results? :)

Drops have been about 1 in 8 at both locations for me, so not so great.
