Before i reach 200 dwellers in the vault there was almost always a rare armour/weapon/dweller card in the luncboxes from the missions but after reaching 200p. they stop. On the fourth card there are 500 caps i mean wtf i made them after rushing five rooms, absolutely pointles.Now, i think the rare dwellers won't appear becouse of the dweller cap but i need those weapons and armours. The last 5-6 lunchboxes was absolutely awful, so i ask is this normal to make us buy lunchboxes or is just my luck, 'couse its a long time without a legendary stuff.

My three vaults are now in the 100-120 dweller range, and lunchboxes generally svck - as in 50 food, 50 water, 1 Radaway and 500 caps. Borrrrring. Recently I've been using backup file "do-overs" to open lunchboxes. Yesterday I restored one unopened lunchbox SAV file at least half a dozen times before I got anything worthwhile, but then it dropped a rare dweller card and Fat Man card in my lap.

There is still good stuff in them but there are definitely disappointments.

Also there is the effect of the power creep making most things disappointing eventually.

For instance:

When you first start your vault and open up a box and get a hardened shotgun (9-12) when everyone is sporting lever action and hunting rifles (4-5 and 5-6) that seemed pretty awesome.

Later on though even nabbing a combat shotgun seems lame when everyone is sporting gauss rifles and flamers.

So it follows that satisfaction with lunchboxes declines with time since less and less that a lunchbox can give you is relevant or useful. Since the contents are random there's a lot of disappointment to be had

the last lunchbox gave me rusty gatling laser so it's not a bug but the drop definitely svcks from some time

I think the rewards were adjusted; I had better luck a few months ago with Legendary pulls being quite common, but its much harder to get them now. However, I'm fine with it since it provides purpose near the current end game. It's fun trying to get pulls to add to the collection.

Im running three vaults, one I started about a week ago. The new vault still pulls a lot of good stuff, whilst my two older and much more powerful ones generally pull pointless stuff. So I suspect that there are adjustments so that new and in need vaults tend to get better stuff.
