How hard is to get the M16 from the crates?

[Sorcerer117]

Title.

Is it even possible to get the M16 on PC now days?

I got the Ak-74/1911-MARSOC/M60A3 in prestige boxes. But no M16 so far. =(

Well it's just down to RNG, I got one fairly recently and while it is a good weapon, the Mk 17 on the map is an all round better tool.
I managed to get the SIG556 LLama in one of my first lucky dip drops and that is still my favourite, hits hard with great range and much less recoil than the standard 556 kitted to the same spec.
Just been doing the dailies for about 8-9 months, rotating through the 3 saves every few weeks, got about 75% of the drops, now starting to get a lot of repeats so I can spend on the other packs, got the SR25 Jungle a couple of weeks ago, damn if that thing isn't just like seal clubbing, hits like the HTI DTech, handles like an AR.

What you mean by 3 saves?

Yeah, i know the M16 is not the best, and its even bugged, but its more for the aesthetics.

Also, how many hours do you have?

2,122 HRS
There is 3 save slots available, (small panel next to "continue campaign" on start menu)
Currently I have one at about 70%, one at 25% and one with 5% missions done, so i can do boss missions without having to clear 3 regions first.
The second one is for lower level missions, if they have already been done on the first.
Sometimes like the other day you get "Challenge #2" "trail of the General" then "Challenge #3" is "Black Site", which you will need to have done to get Challenge #2 done, so you have to start a new map.

If I've done all the challenges for the day and still feel like playing, I get on the newest slot and chase convoys and skill points to prepare it for when I finish or done most of the high level boss missions on the oldest slot. Takes about a week to fly all over the map, picking up spotting parachutes and intel cashes.

So every 4-5 weeks the oldest save becomes the newest, rinse repeat. Juggling the 3 saves I can usually get all 15 challenges for the week, with an average of 3 of the 800 prestige point bonus days, so end up with 14-20 prestige crates and 1 or 2 Spec Op crates, basically around 20 goes at the Lucky Dip.

Was going to quit once I got the "Stampede" lever action rifle but after I did get it, kind of figured may as well get all the stuff, without paying any real money.

I wasn't dissing the M16, I would put it about 5th choice on my list for AR's.

And how do suggest I "just open Spec OPs crates" without paying cash for blue points. I finished the game a couple of years ago, there are none to be earned by playing the game.

Repeat orange creates give me blue points to "buy" weapon packs, took 6ish weeks to get all the accessory packs, so I don't have to chase them any more.

Can be 2 if you complete 20 challenges per week, 1 Spec Op for the 15 challenges plus 1 every 20 Prestige you open.

Last I looked had about 30 legendary items left to collect in Spec Ops, 40 legendary in Ghost crates, and the Prestige crates have 4 legendary, 10 epic and 45 rare (mostly emotes I think)

Mostly it gives me something to do while I wait for the next Sniper Ghost Warrior title to drop.

recently i played SGW 3, very nice game ;D

Back to GRW, you might be right, i didnt want to pay alot of money for Ubi to unlock a gun thats random, but it might be the last resort

also, if ubi turn off their servers for Wildlands, the save game with the itens will be saved?

if in fact they turn off i think we will be able to use 100% all unlocks save from the interwebs?

I would assume that anything you have saved on your hard drive, should be available to be used when played off line, but just a guess.
Maybe turn off cloud sync, so you could be sure it;s saved to hard drive. I only play off line but still have cloud turned on, mostly because I haven't got around to turning it off.

SGW is my favourite shooter, they are not afraid to make big changes between iterations, unlike most games that are basically reskins of first title like Elite, seen one exploding testicle, you've seen em all.

Just doing daily challenges and buying prestige crates, thats all. I have all without paying cash
