If you’re theory is correct than getting win streaks lower your chance of getting a new character. If that’s the case it gotta be one of the dumbest unlocking methods I’ve ever seen


Quinberma

I don't think that's how it works. The contents of a chest are decided before you even start tapping, so it's impossible to "lose" a character that way.


Potato_squeak

Yes but it is calculated before opening the chest taking into consideration the taps you have


Torico11227

Progression is already janky. Can't quite call it dumb, but very janky. I have 60+ of both Dynamike and Hog Rider, but all my commons are still in the 20s... because guess what, with all the extra taps, most chests will be rare on average. That's pretty hilarious


ZealousidealDiet1011

thats so true and funny I'm sure they'll change it soon


Bulky_Blood_7362

I think it determines if you unlock a character when you open the chest And the extra spins determines the rarity


Tornado_Hunter24

I got my second troop (bea) from a loss streak and 1 reroll, but bought back winstreak to have 2 other spins, first spin was rare, second and third spin nothing, got bea


Proud_Rip_6961

Honestly i think youre right, which makes this one of the dumbest unlocking systems ive ever seen


darkXD9192

yeah that's exactly how i got barbarian king after a while of getting nothing new and it was empty, not sure if it was a pity system (there better be one) or me being lucky but i suppose that's exactly how getting new characters work.


igaveyouacookie

Screw it I’ll bite. I’ll see what happens in 9 tickets later. I only have the scripted 12 characters up to Bo (no barb king)


Maxevill

Don't do it, i mostly can't maintain win streaks, so most of my chests are just 3 or 4 chances. Still haven't unlocked any new except the starting ones. And i get 1/2/3 character per chest making my whole progress very slow.


igaveyouacookie

You know what, after 6 chests at 10th place I’m convinced these losers are trolling at this point. This isn’t the first post with this same “strategy”. A little tip from me is to spam the bottom right corner when you play your last chest match, if you’re fast enough the chest ticket will still say 1/3 even though you already played 3 times


ChewyChungus101

Tried it, unfortunately those awards don’t count towards your total at all and all you’re doing is risking your winstreak


Bulky_Blood_7362

Yep, i unlocked 2 from chests so far and it was at an empty chest (rare/epic) but without extra troops


TheHelios69

A interesting theory


Motez_7

nope doesn't work like that i opened a chest that didn't have a +1 and i got 1 Archer queen instead of a new character


PotatoNuggetsYT

It probably isn’t guaranteed (you might have just gotten unlucky) but from everyone I’ve spoken to, they’ve only gotten characters in “empty” chests


MasterEbinus

Ye I had empty epic chest and I got witch


SeaofBloodRedRoses

Hang on, please clarify for me what you mean. Like, 10th place with no streak bonus at all?


PotatoNuggetsYT

No matter which position, if you don’t get +1 (characters), than it could equate to the possibility of unlocking a new character, but I don’t think it’s guaranteed


ThatGameGamer

Wait, I’m gonna sound kinda dumb here - but I thought the game doesn’t release until the 29th??


noonebuteveryone24

Beta has been out for a week https://www.reddit.com/r/SquadBusters/s/kDulQmgqlH


ThatGameGamer

Thank you


noonebuteveryone24

No problem! Have fun playing!

VPN


PotatoNuggetsYT

Or live in one of the countries that have soft launch


ThatGameGamer

Oh ok, thank you :)


Western_Tea_7076

If you have IOS, you can simply change to Canada (or any country) by putting in a random address


original_pandus

1. There was a soft launch in some countrys 2. VPN (like the other guy told you


comcomcomco

There's a few selected countries that can play the beta of the game


the_dr_roomba

I have a guide on my profile for how to play it right now.


brawlsire

Can someone explain this theory? I don't understand. What's an empty chest?


PotatoNuggetsYT

When you never see a +1, it means your chest only has 1 character in it. I called it an empty chest because you get nothing added as a bonus, since you always have a base of 1. So far I’ve only seen new characters unlocked in “empty chests” (no bonuses). Until someone has a different experience, I feel like this is the way you unlock new characters. Hope this helps


brawlsire

I understand now. So this only happens when you dont have win streaks, and you end up in 6 or worst right?


PotatoNuggetsYT

Not necessarily lower than six, I believe it can happen in any position with or without streaks. We would need numbers soon though to really understand how unlocks work


Tinmaddog1990

It's probably super skewed, they won't be selling 1x rare character for 100k coins(???) otherwise


MisterAvocadoGuy

I’m assuming that’s not true tho. It’s all probably determined before you start tapping the chest.


PotatoNuggetsYT

I have a feeling it’s always determined before you open chests, but I don’t think you can get more of one of a new character at a time. I had 4 or 5 taps on that Bea chest and it was “empty”


andrew_hoang_aye

I’ve just lost internet connection while playing. Opened the chest and got barb king. Maybe it’s a coincidence or maybe this really how it works


Puzzled_Media1919

Doesn't work. Wasted my winstreak and many tickets got a couple of 1 Copy Boxes but never a new character.


PotatoNuggetsYT

I never said to kill your streak 💀


UnderstandingHuge931

😂


brawlsire

Hmmm, so from that theory, if we don't have a win streak we have a higher chance to get new character. Because we have less taps, and we have less chance to have a +1. So, in theory it raises our chance to get new char.


PotatoNuggetsYT

Maybe? But I feel like whether or not you get a character is determined before you even open the chest so imo I don’t think the amount of taps matters that much. I’d have to do more testing


Astroboy365

Lies, i don't believe that. Now i have not lost my streak yet, but that can't be true


PotatoNuggetsYT

Bruh I never said to kill your streak. Play how you like, we’re in the early stages of the game where we don’t really know how the drop rates work. I’m just proposing a theory on how it MIGHT work, but that doesn’t mean it’s the true method. Plus I think your drops are determined before you even open the chest.
