So, just got Cybjörn

For the second time out of a Legendary Anniversary Lootbox. Correct me if I’m wrong, but shouldn’t duplicates from that box be impossible? I will make this known now. I do not play on Jakunonon or SempaiKush, my PSN account, because that account was on my brother’s PS4.

My PSN account is called Tempered_Tempo, If the devs feel so inclined to see if I’m telling the truth. I hope I’m not going against the rules of the forums considering all three accounts for OW belong to me

I thought the drops for dupes were just reduced.

Unless you already have all anniversary legendary skins in which case you getting a 2nd copy makes sense.

Legendary Boxes were guaranteed to not drop duplicates. The same thing happened the first time Golden Loot Boxes were implemented. Unless I’ve misunderstood something

Well, they are supposed to not be duplicated any further. But there are some exceptions.

You are guaranteed to get at least 1 anniversary item per loot box for example. But unless you have unlocked all the items in that tier, you shouldn’t be seeing a duplicate. I was simply saying that if you already had all the legendary items for the anniversary event and the only anniversary item that dropped was a legendary, it could duplicate.

But again, console vs PC, not sure on that. I was under the impression the changes were the same. I have not seen a legendary duplicate for a long time from any box and certainly not from a legendary box.

I thought you only get one Legendary Lootbox when you first open the game during the event? Rest are ‘‘normal’’ event lootboxes.

German content creator “Highscore Heroes” opened his two legendary boxes first for his Anniversary unboxing and got Bastion’s Stealth skin in both of’em

This is also true. You only got the one box that was a guaranteed legendary.

My guess would be this…I’m not 100% but…

If you got the legendary lootbox from buying the bundle, then I think the legendary lootbox generate it’s contents first. It’s certainly the one they encourage you to open first. Anyway, their contents are generated at time of purchase.

So opening the regular anniversary lootboxes first and then saving the legendary one for last doesn’t do anything except set you up for possible disappointment.

At first I was willing to dismiss it, but I just opened a normal Anniversary box and got Buccaneer, which was a skin I didn’t have yet,

You can buy the 50 bundle and get an additional Legendary Loot Box

I always start with the Legendary Box. The free one with the event start gave me Formal. Some time later I got Cybjörn, and after purchasing the bundle I went to open the Legendary Box and pulled Cybjörn again

So you had Cybjörn unlocked in the hero gallery prior to purchase of the bundle?

ETA: If so, do you have all the other Legendary anniversary skins?

If the answer to those questions is “yes,” and then “No,” I would put in a ticket to customer support.

Yes, that is correct. Buccaneer and Sherlock were Skins I hadn’t gotten prior to the purchase, but while opening the 50 normal boxes, I got both of them. Why would the Legendary Box give me a skin I already had when there were two I didn’t have?

It shouldn’t do that, unless something has changed. I would put in a ticket to customer service.

Actually maybe they changed it. I’m looking at the product description of the legendary lootbox on the PSN and it says

As a special treat this year, each one-time purchase of 50 Anniversary Loot Boxes* comes with a bonus Legendary Anniversary Loot Box guaranteed to contain at least one legendary item. On top of that, every Loot Box may contain an item from any past seasonal events or other classic content! Each Anniversary Loot Box contains up to four cosmetic items, including at least one Anniversary skin, spray, highlight intro, emote, victory pose, player icon, or voice line. If your loot box contains an item that is already in your collection, you will instead receive in-game credits that you can use to acquire many customization options. *Anniversary Loot Boxes are available to purchase or earn in-game until June 11, 2018. Online features require an account and are subject to terms of service and applicable privacy policy (website).

Did you get the rest of the legendaries in the pack of 50? If so, then the contents of the bonus gold box must be determined after the contents of the 50.

cybjorn is kraft mac and cheese tbh

This was confirmed true. You can appeal for a new box, and they will give you a new one. You’re not supposed to get any duplicates, so if you or someone else gotten some out of the golden ones, that is on them and they acknowledge that.

Off topic real quick, there’s this symbol next to my thread now…is that bad?

You will only get Legendary Duplicates if you have all event items or all normal items.
