Someone figured out the drop rates for Overwatch loot

If you have been wondering how lucky you need to be to grab a legendary skin from a loot box in Overwatch then now you can see the drop rate percentages as someone went through the trouble of working it all out.

Reddit user, Ourobouros went through several videos that racked up around 1000 loot box openings. From there, he did the maths, working out the percentage of common, rare, epic and legendary drops.

In short, a common will drop 97.08 percent of the time, a rare will drop 78.22 percent of the time, an epic will drop 25.91 percent of the time and a legendary will drop 9.38 percent of the time. This is ‘on average' so it isn't a guarantee but still, it is nice to have some numbers to show how likely you are to get each level of item.

It tends to take a lot for gamers to 'forgive' a studio after messing up a launch, for instance CD Projekt Red had to spend three additional years developing Cyberpunk 2077 before many were willing to give the game another shot. In the case of Helldivers 2, despite the game having some rough server issues at launch, the game turned out to be so good that many players simply waited things out, without leaving a trail of negative reviews. Now, a case of incredibly poor communication and a poorly thought-out plan from the game's publisher, Sony, has put Helldivers 2 in jeopardy, with the game being removed from over 170 countries.
