Do I have very mundane bad luck, or how do uncommons work?

This isn't about Ultra-rares or getting the same character card 3+ times in a row or anything about that.  I've been playing Gold and using my points to open a ton of Veteran packs.  I've been opening Arsenal and Reserves packs for a while, but aside from the Black Widow and Reegar Carbine, my I-II Rares/ Ultra-rares aren't very impressive  So I'm trying to max out my uncommons like everyone says to, and simply, does getting one weapon increase your chance of getting that weapon in subsequent packs?  Over and over again I got Incisor, now the game can't give me that anymore so it gives me Raptor.  My Phaeston has been IV so long that I won't even recognize it when it gets to V, poor Eviscerator is gotten no upgrades ever, my Mattock is miraculously V.  Obviously once the game maxes out my crummy weapons, since it loves giving me upgrades for weak semi-automatic weapons, it will have to give me the decent uncommons, but man.  Is there really some sort of logic to how the game gives repeats?

RNG is RNG.

 

Just keep getting Veteran packs and you'll be fine.  There's only 11 uncommons vs. 25 rares and 21 ultra rares, so you'd need to get 99 upgrades total for the uncommons (9 upgrades per weapon), which is actually pretty low.

There's no trick, no rhyme or reason, just crappy RNG bull****. Just keeping spamming those VPs, you'll get 'em all eventually.

I don't know, I got Mattock upgraded 3 times in about 5 packs.  Meanwhile, I'm probably going to get a Wraith before Eviscerator even gets to II

The Eagle is one of my oldest guns and it's only at III while my Crusader has been at X forever.

The weapons will fill in swiftly, but in no particular order. Trying to get the uncommon gear and weapon mods will start showing you the frustration that is to come.

The actual issue is the fact that the uncommon gear items and weapon mods actually drop less often than Rare weapons, and Rare gear items/mods drop less often than Ultra Rare weapons. On three manifests that I've built so far, I maxed my uncommon and Rare weapons long before I finished unlocking my gear items/mods.

 

The weird part is that the first month or so after gear items were introduced, they unlocked at the normal rate. Before they updated the drop tables, I unlocked more than half of the gear ranks in one month. After the change, it took me about six months to unlock the rest.

 

I still have no idea why they made the drop rate on gear so low.

 

Edit: I got f***in' ninja'd again! :o

I can't even tell whether Veteran or Spectre Packs are better for the uncommons.

Since you are playing Gold, you should go for a mix of Veteran and Spectre packs.  The former for gear and the latter for Claymore and Acolyte.  URs are nice but not really necessary.

 

.... or you could join the PC master race.

I will add that if you buy Character packs, Rare and Ultra Rare Kits drop all over the place.  "Rarity Weight" for characters seems much lighter than weapons/upgrades

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  Lies & slander..I tell you  ..Lies & slander......

 

I mean...look at this: http://social.biowar...ay&platform=ps3 ...I have spent almost 8 entire hours playing and all I have bought were Veteran Packs

 

And actually..shockingly..I got some pretty good stuff out of em....Asari Vanguard / Turian Soldier

 

 

OP, Go big or go home...nothing is cooler than spending 60k on a spectre pack that will land you the tempest 5....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: How pretty is that Katana 4...eh?   AND I still don't have a level 1 gear of any kind.

But I'm already on PC.  

 

I have Claymore II and Acolyte.  What do Spectre Packs have to do with getting those guns, though?

I have a variety of rare and ultra-rares already, they just feel underwhelming at I.  I don't really understand the advantage of having a Turian Ghost with a Saber I over any Infiltrator with sniper bonus using a Black Widow.  Other than the clip size.

+1.  I had the UR characters maxed fairly early in my ME3MP "career" (even before I had a fair number of rare unlocks), yet am still waiting for that elusive Indra unlock.

The ultra rare characters are actually just rares.

Yeah, I got the Javelin I as one of the first 5-6 ultra rares I ever unlocked.  I didn't get the Javelin II until over two full years later.  In that time, I maxed like 3-4 ultra rares, at least two of which I didn't even have unlocked when I got the Javelin I.

 

The RNG can be pretty brutal sometimes.
