Crates

[Brandon]

So recently all these unboxing unusual has inspired me :O
and I need to know what crate has the best rate of getting hats. I know they all have 1% of getting an unusual but there are also crates that contain around 3-4 hats in them. Anybody know the best series to uncrate? I unboxed one today and got a respectless glove (not too bad) and got 8 more woot!

 

[? Frisky Dingo ?]

so....you have 9 respectless gloves? I feel sorry for you .

The one with more hats have less stranges or none at all. So would you rather get strange items or hats/regular items?
Go big or go home

I have all crate series except 9. Let me know if you want a specific one.

I suggest opening one of the newest crates so hopefully you can break even if you fail to uncrate an unusual. For example, if you open a medic crate Series #26, you fail and hopefully, you might get a medi-gun which can sell for 2.66-3 refine, you still profit like 1-2 reclaimed.

On the other hand, if you lose and get something crappy like a strange syringe gun, you cans still sell that for like 2rec-1ref. You only lose 50%. If you open older crates, such as series 20 and down, if you lose then you lose, the items in most of them are pretty low because they've been around for a while.

But if you just wanna get "hats", I suggest going into a trade server and say B>2x Craft hat w/ 1key, people always sell it for that price. They might be crap hats but still hats, 2x for 1 key, not bad.

And as for the inspiration part, most people I know have been unboxing unusuals lately and I'm sitting here thinking why the heck do I not have one. But if you're gonna try to get an unusual, any crate works, I've seen people get unusuals that are worth 1 grand in series 8 and series 20+, really just luck, not the crate series.

I know they all have 1% of getting an unusual..

I think the crate series 1 to 4 or something like that have bigger chance of getting unusal then others, not sure tho

Well im in school 1st period. Lol but today before school I took a chance toounbox medic...syringe gun >.< lol

 

[Believer]

I've spent way too much unboxing, and not really earned anything worth mentioning. I have decided from this point to just trade up.

Open strange crates. The worse that can happen is you'll get a strange...and u can easily recover 1-2 reclaimed (at least) from those.

Better yet open NEW strange crates. Collect keys now and open new crates the day/hour/minute they are added. If you get strange weapon, it's no biggie, you can trade it away b/c the market is hot.


I do that sometimes myself. I've had no luck yet. Last time I did, all I got was Strange Sleeper eh. I'm not much into unusuals tho. If i get one I would sell it for Max's Head (paint it Pink and it's a epic troll hat) and/or for $$.

 

[eurocracy]

Crates 1-4 will provide more unusuals, open them.

 

[Noise]

Series 1 & 2 have around a 1 or 2% chance of getting an unusual last time i checked, all the new crates are much lower then that.

 

[Cut Chem!st]

Dont. 300$+ Later you'll probably have a hat, but there is even a smaller chance that it's actually worth something. Just trade from normal hats/refined to keys to buds/bills and buy your own.

Or just straight up spend cash on one if you want it that bad. It's not worth it, and I've unboxed one.

Don't bother with unusuals, but gambling for hats is a bit more acceptable.
I bought 4 keys the other day and came out with a Strange Wrench, a Safe and Sound, a Milkman, and a Strange Bushwacka. I'm happy with that.

 

[Kanoa]

5 and 9 are the best.

 

[Brandon]

ew, 9 is all worthless paint

 

[HalfDeadMarine]

There's no garentee you'll even get one, I've met guys that haven opened 300+ crates on record. It's sad really.

 

[Tupperware]

I have a few early series crates and you can have em free if you want

 

[Brandon]

Spent all the keys, got black paint, hats, strange pistol, and strange crossbow so not too bad
