Streak or Loot Box at the End?

Just as the title alludes to, when you won your character from the Gauntlet (albeit Locutus, Guinan, or Caretaker), did you get them on a streak (how long), or in a loot box at the conclusion of the Gauntlet?

Just curious to see the results... And thanks to everyone in advance for taking the time to post.

    My first Locutus was from a rank 70ish finish.
    My first Caretaker was from a 27 streak, my last was a 12 streak.
    In between, I've received the gauntlet crew reward from rank 1 finishes and streaks as low as 3.

    Only started tracking it fully with Caretaker:

    Started the Caretaker gauntlet at 8506 rounds
    Caretaker #1 at round 9944 (15 streak crate)
    Caretaker #2 at round 10135 (39 streak crate)
    Caretaker #3 at round 10161 (1st place vault)
    Currently at 10773 rounds.

    Pretty sure the odds of a drop are sooo low that it pretty much doesn’t matter what box you open. Opening any box is the key.

    Agreed. And because the chance is so low, there’s some alarming swings/variations. Look at my stats above, I got 3 caretakers within 217 rounds.

    • Locutus (x1): Loot Crate

    • Caretake (x1): Streak of 3

    6x locutus - 3 streak, 3 loot boxes
    3x guinan - 3 loot boxes.

    That is crazy luck. I haven't got any of the legends yet and fully expect that to continue.

    When you get purple trainers from a top level box you know luck isn't with you

    He had good Locutus luck and has had awesome Caretaker luck so far.

    Guinan not so much...she was around for over twice as long as Locutus.

    frustrating to see people with 10+ Gauntlet Golds with the same amount of rounds as me... urgh
    For the record my one and only Guinan was from a loot box at the end
  • Caretaker from a loot box.

    Typically place between 1st & 5th now (starting in Guinan era), never have seen any of the characters drop from final rewards.

    I did get 2 Guinans, both from a streak of 3.

    I unfortunately started after Locutus but I got

    3x Guinan from streak and 2x from 1st place loot box (in same gauntlet event).
    1x Caretaker at this point from a streak of 12 I believe.
  • Synthetic CommanderSynthetic Commander ✭✭✭✭✭
    1x Caretaker from loot box on my first time reaching 11th place (due to some lucky round wins).

    Began gauntlet maybe halfway into Guinan's run, never got her. My crew was lousy most of the time though so streaks were brief.

    The odds are always low, and the winning can be very odd. Like winning several within a low amount of rounds. Then, there are those who have played 10k+ rounds and never won...

    Locutus - 1 from a 6w streak, the other likely from a loot box.
    Guinan - 1 from a 6-12w streak, 1 I don't remember, 2 from loot boxes
    Caretaker - 0.

    I remember my only copy of Guinan came from a Streak of 21, and my 2 copies (thus far - hoping for more ;) ) of The Caretaker have both also come from Streaks (21 & 6).
    As for my Locuti, they happened a longer time ago, and so my memory regarding them is unsure, but my best guess is I got 2 from Streaks and 2 from end of Gauntlet Vaults.

    For me individually, what the above says is that Guinan was by far the most difficult to obtain (fortunately got my only copy of her during the time period after it was announced she was leaving, but before she was actually replaced).
  • Streaks - 1 Locutus (15), 4 Guinan (3, 3, 6, 6), 2 Caretaker (3, 6)
    Loot - 1 Guinan
  • Cpt. CavemanCpt. Caveman ✭✭✭✭
    Locutus x1 3 or 6 streak
    Guinan x 0
    Caretaker x 1 Top 5 box
  • I've gotten 3 Guinans, 1 Locutus, and 1 Caretaker. All of them were from streaks, and all or most of them were fairly low. At least 3 of them were on streaks of 3.

    Guinan was on streaks but it was so long ago I don't remember what number of streaks.
    Caretaker was in a conclusion box for making first for me.

    Locutus x2 - both streaks, but don't remember how long.
    Guinan x2 - both short streaks (<12, but don't recall exactly).
    Caretaker x2 - both longer streaks - one at 24, one at 18 - on back-to-back days B)
  • I got my one and only Locutus from a special pack a while back (bet im the only one here that got a Locutus that way :sunglasses: )
    And I also got my first Guinan from a streak of 33 (bought her DYC). Then got her 3rd copy from a streak of 9. Finally i got my 4th copy from a streak 3 box (i then bought her DYC a 2nd time to ff her). Still havent gotten the Caretaker.
