Rare Containers!

[Fionntan]

You know even the container is open you still can scan it?

 This ^ Unless is a Rare Corpus Container >_<

 

Also I found one yesterday in the Corpus Deception while doing scans <3

[DraydenSama]

Do I need to scan containers to have a chance to make it a Rare one ?

No, they spawn regardless of scans of anything.

The reason several of us mention scans is that these things are rare enough to warrant documenting.

There is a trick for those who want to find the rare containers with some help.

Scan normal containers until it's listed in the codex and green (when you zoom with scanners)

 

Now run through a map, using the scanner (some missions like sab/spy make this easier, in and out) and when you see a orange container through the scanner you've got yourself a rare.

 

Important to note, DO.NOT.SCAN.IT.  if you wish to continue using this method.

Do not equip Helios or he will scan it.

If you fail to comply with the above, the rare containers will now be green and you will have to go back to the old method of literally using your eyes and walking everywhere.

RNG is either with you or against you. I Get th in bursts. One week I'll get quite a few then I'll go a month without seeing a single one. My problem is forgetting to scan th before I govall Piñata Pete on them.

I doubt they've had an actual rng change.

There's several things that make finding these things completely random.

I asume every crate has a rng roll on mission generation weither its ginna be a rare one or not.

And then you still have to stumble upon it among the hundreds of crates.

When they were first introduced, i found several of the. Now it's about 2 months ago since i last saw one untill yesterday.

I probably missed like half a dozen, simply cause i didn't go out of my why to search for them.

There has been one significant change to their RNG; they seem to have a near guarantee of spawning in the raid (I would guess 100% spawn with bugs making unreachable), with a normal chance of being Reinforced.

I got my first corpus one without even seeing it. Gammacor buff went off and broke it. Only reason I know I got one is that I got a 30 min credit booster.

One thing i noticed about their location pattern it's that these containers always spawns on the same places where syndicate medallions appear during daily alerts, for corpus and grinner crates at least. Rare orokin containers don't follow this norm cause there aren't any syndicate alerts on the void/derelict tileset, on those maps the crates seems to show up on places where you find the supply caches on sabotage missions, or at least that's what i think, i only found 2 rare orokin containers so far and their locations where on places you would normally look for caches.

I agree, I found 1 the first time this feature was out; the last week I almost found them twice.
That's great, and of course promotes exploration more.
If just they wouldn't hold Paris Blueprints-like prizes, it still would be more rewarding.

I've come across one, that's it. I use the scanners to look as well. As someone trying to fill their codex, I hate these things. =/

Simaris Scanners still count towards the codex, and are better with the upgrades.

 

Grineer and Orokin Rare and Reinforced Containers can be scanned even after being broken.

 

When did Simaris came out?

We don´t have it on PS4 :(

[(PSN)Backdoorman71]

Like Kthal said, they were very recently introduced. Do you explore all the little secret caches? Cause that's where they spawn, not usually out on the open. Y'gotta go well off the beaten path, as DE is inordinately fond of saying.

 

I've gotten one reinforced in the void (Forma and Glaive Prime BP, woot!) and a rare Corpus one while breaking my Loki out of Alad V's clutches. I thought that was appropriate, taking a little something for my troubles.

 

When this containers appeared, it was needed 50 scans each.

Now it´s only 5.

Grineer, you can for sure.

Corpus I couln´t scan because someone else broke it before I had the chance scan
