hedshot56 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I really want an Unusual Mining Light. But I also want to try my luck at uncrating an unusual. What should I do? I have about 37 Ref atm. So could I get an Unusual with this if I kept trading up? Or should I just try to uncrate? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water Salesman Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Don't unbox. Ever. In your life. Period. The end. Go buy some ice cream to take your mind off of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reflex Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Is uncrating worth it? If you get an unusual, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrous Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I really want an Unusual Mining Light. But I also want to try my luck at uncrating an unusual. Unusual mining lights are retired... So just build up, it's much easier this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotPeng Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 unboxing has terrible probability just save up and trade up. Exactly. I've unboxed over 200 crates and I always get the shitty/lowest value stuff in crates. Whereas for crate 60. I've never gotten anything worth less than 2 keys. Amazing crate in my eyes for low loss/high win, similar with Crate 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron H. #11BUDS Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 a few weeks ago i unboxed 1 and got orb fire crones i've unboxed 7 unusuals in probably 500 crates or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Jesus Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Don't unbox. Only a select few people are blessed with RNG luck needed in that endeavor. Everybody knows a guy or two, with stories like "Yeah dude just opened 8 crates and BAM DBD Brotherhood!" That guy is never you. Will never be you. Will certainly never be me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ward - MvM Anyone? Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Unboxing is a gamble. And If you do unbox an unusual, prepare for a nuts n bolts because karma hates you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woifi The Viking Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 It took me 600 crates to get a logo hound dog. If you don't have funds for that, don't unbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gren Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Unboxing is like gambling: do it for fun and for the thrill if you've got the money to burn, but don't do it in an effort to seek profit. The chances are overwhelmingly stacked against you. I've probably unboxed something like 200 crates and I've found one unusual that was worth 2 Buds. Not worth it unless you manage to get really, really lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Cyan Stone in Mustard Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 You might make a huge profit, but in most cases you'll lose your keys to shitty stranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruktfist Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 There's never really a sure fire answer to this but I 'spose if you have the ability to recoup your losses then it's not necessarily a bad idea. I mean this guy: http://www.tf2outpost.com/backpack/76561197994144284 from what I can tell has unboxed every unusual he owns and some of them are worth a fair bit, even a Sunbeams EL Jefe! Plus I can imagine it's probably the best feeling to unbox and high tier unusual. However I think in your situation with just 37 ref you're best off to just keeping on building up coupled with the fact the Mining Light can no longer be unboxed. I do have daydreams about what would happen if I unboxed a Sunbeams Team Captain but I know better than to let Gabe decide be the decider... ;3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altair Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It pretty much depends on which crate you unbox. It's a similar matter of either all or nothing. Most of us traders who are asked about unboxing them crates usually frown upon hearing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frog Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I've wasted tons of keys since I started playing tf2 and I can't recall a time I actually got anything worth it. Don't unbox, just trade for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corpfox Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Its really up to you. Unboxing can be addictive. Chances of Unusual unbox is slim to none. I think F2Ps have a higher chance of getting Unusual unbox. The best I've unboxed is a Vivid Plasma Brotherhood and the worst is a Kill-a-Watt Shooters Topi. If ur eager, do it. If u have doubts, don't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
