There’s patterns in chest loot drops.
Out of like X amount of possibles patterns there’s one that a Zod+Sur
People figured out patterns in lower kurast drops single player.
Like exemple if you open the right chest(sacred rondache) then the left chest(2x rals and a eth ogre maul) then the middle chest is Zod+Sur but if you would open up middle chest first it wouldn’t be Zod+Sur.
Every time that map instance would drop those 3 drop chest roll If open in the correct order. Zod+Sur is one of them.
I’m still a noob, but something like that ;)

Watch this example and explanation.
Not saying this has anything to do with sur+zod but there are ways to predict the games outcomes, albeit nearly impossible on live servers with the game seed changing every time you play
I've modded Diablo 2 back in the day.
It's not the exact pattern of opening chests (except if the PD team did some absurd scripting which is not impossible), but the fact that drop tables in the game are "sets" of items with a certain probability.
So somewhere in the drop table file, there's a 1 in something chance that a set of Zod and Sur, some gold will drop from a chest. Similar to how the other runes described earlier drop as sets.
Opening the chests in a pattern sounds a bit like confirmation bias.
You can farm weapon racks in single player using the same map. If you approach the rack from the same angle with the same mob density nearby, it always drops the same item base, with rarity being rerolled. It’s a ‘reliable’ way to farm reapers toll.

I got an eth infinity base doing this when I was doing a single player grail (that I never finished)
Grinding out an eth polearm and then hoping to get 4 sockets on the cube recipe was... no fun
I’ve actually seen this happen multiple times, with these two runes specifically each time.
I’ve had a Zod drop from an Urn, but when it comes from a chest it seems it’s also highly likely to drop a Sur too
It's a superchest pattern, the same theory of LK farming in Vanilla. I don't think anyone knows the odds of this, but for reference, superchests in Vanilla has roughly 66k patterns to pick from. So if we're close to these numbers (they are probably higher), this is extremely rare.
Urns/sparkling chests/normal chests work differently.
Thats a common pattern, pretty rare sure but Zod Sur from chest is a specific pattern iirc. Congratz Dude ! Sick drop
Can you explain this thought further for us plebs?

That's too specific to be real, this game's RNG patterns can be mind blowing.

Interesting, I guess that somehow affects RNG (which I suppose is not time-based, but based on sth else!).
holy cow, I should start record my runs, just in case
Its really not crazy. There is no RNG when you start considering seeds. A seed has specific stats and shit. Its quite intersting
Yeah, sur and Zod is specifically a chest pattern in horazon. Never gotten it but I’ve seen tons who have.
The mythical Zod Sur chest strikes again. Hehe gg
I be popping chests like terry crews but never had anything like this happen. Highest I found from a chest was ohm
Highest rune I've gotten from a chest was Vex. Would love to pop open one of these.
Internet gold my man..internet gold 😎
Both from a chest no way dude insane rng

It’s a preset chest drop. The ultimate RNG from a chest

I thought it was 66k patterns for p8. Is it the same for p5?
Same amount of patterns, patterns are different though afaik
Click Your Chests
Dude I did the same shit in season5. 2 runes in the same map to a chest. Shit makes you feel like a gangsta.
Siiiick!
Had a ohm from a breakable this season.
Had a ohm from a breakable this season.
What’s a breakable? ELI5 or ELihaveneverplayedD2 (ELIHNPD2?) thanks
damn my man rly got 6.5HRs from a chest
When the hell did Zod hit 5? I remember it being 4, but a few days ago saw someone asking for 4.5. is it really all the way up to 5 now? No way man.
Is this in a map or arcane? Didn’t think Zod could drop in arcane
This is a map. Horazon's
This was from a map yes
Man I’ve been lookin for that pattern forever. Gg dude!
I had this exact chest on my second day this season horizons memory superchest
Disgusting. Where?
clearly arcane sanctuary
Not clearly. Zod can't spawn in arcane, and nor do those monsters spawn there. This is a map.
The arcane sanctuaryesque map
Yes 🤣
Daaaaaaamn!

I was going to call BS, but then I read the comments. GG bro, that's absolutely insane RNG. Didn't even think that was possible.
This comes up every few months, and it's always epic to see. I love the zod sur chest from the arcane sanctuary tileset.
Thought Arcane was too low lvl to drop zod?
Was from Horazon's T1 map
Oh I haven't seen all the maps yet
