took nearly 24 hours before I got any cases, when they finally started dropping the first 6 or so were BLNT and after that I started to get crappy prizes. I had a string of bullets and am now at 6 or 7 but i'm not fussed as the prizes are pretty poor this time, no chance i'm spending gold on purpose on this event, I already hit gold open once by mistake but luckily it was a bullet. I'm amazed there's no explosives in the prize list.

i got 96 in 2 hours on bluestacks
Have about 70 bullet casings but every time i try to open its either a blank or a crappy weapon/Respect points.
So far i have opened using cash 18 times and have opened 3 experimental rounds and 9 blanks and 6 times weapons/cash/respect points. This sucks.
Okay, I've been having some weird issues with the cases, and I was wondering if anyone else has noticed anything like this. I currently have 134 cases, which is weird because if I "open" a case (always cash open), if it's a BLNT, it doesn't subtract a case from me (so I'd still have 134 after opening). Any time I have won something (Experimental round/loot prize), it DOES subtract a case.
The other weird thing I noticed, moreso earlier in the event when it was still being really glitchy, was that if I open a case, it will either IMMEDIATELY tell me "Sorry, BLNT," or it will communicate with the server/whatever, give me one of those "loading" type screens (a circle pops up, colors go clockwise around it to denote "loading"), and I'll either get an Experimental round or a loot prize. This has led me to suspect that if I'm in an area with poor service and the game can't communicate with the server, I immediately get the "Sorry, BLNT" screen, and I have an abnormally low number of Experimental rounds at this point compared to all the other case events I've participated in. I know it's possible it could just be "bad luck" or whatever, but it was just a thought.
Edit- just a note, but I've won most of my experimental rounds recently, perhaps after they made some tweaks or something, but I was having extraordinarily bad "luck" the past two days despite opening 20+ cases.

Crates not subtracting for BLNT is intentional. The 'story' is basically that your attempt to open it didn't work, whereas when you get a bullet or a booby prize you have utilised that case.
