Rust skin drop question

[funk]

I got I think 2 drops in the 115 hours of playing this game and was wondering if that's just how infrequent it is, or if they turned off drops, or what was going on? I did a search and I can't find anything definitive.

[Blaster :D]

Search the Dev Blogs there's an older one that says they're awarded based on Time spent in Game. after that they never mentioned how they're awarded again that I'm aware of. It's random though, I've got 3 skins in 1 week, and I've gone a month without getting any before. I'd keep in mind those skins are usually the cheapest skins you can get. I got the forest camo pants 4 times in a row last year.

The last officiall intervention says :
- 12 hours must be played to be elligible
- 1 skin per day max
The only mystery is the real chance we have to drop an item when this 2 conditions are met.

Some recent thread said that it was back to old days where you can have just 1 skin per week, but each week where there's an update, there's this kind of subject. It's not really relevant.

what hes saying is that you have to play 12 hours in one day to get a skin drop

I have noticed that I tend to get drops when i'm playing a lot within a few days, versus playing the same number of hours over a month period or more. It does look like it increases your chances when doing long play sessions instead of spreading it out.

Not sure, but you can get good skins best i got from waiting in rusty moose Que is tempered ak so just afk. But i have 5890 hours combined on my 2 accounts and ive gotten 13 drops so don't get your hopes up though.

I played for less than 3 hours, and I got 2 drops. One of the drops was a golden weapon barrel.

its just random - your not getting any high dollar skins from it - its a bot that scans the market for items under a certain threshold of value after a certain dollar amount of skins have been purchased and buys them and then it randomly distributes those skins amoungst players who happen to be playing at that moment... if some idiot accidentaly lists a 30 dollar item for 30 cents you could end up with it tho
