Hello and welcome! This sheet contains drop data for [BLACK strongbox] drops from level 25 to 100. We encourage you to use this resource to learn what level ranges you can get important [BLACK] items, especially items needed for endgame builds, and how likely you are to find them.
• Boxes were collected from the in-app purchase store in update 1.10. We have no reason to believe box drop RNG was changed in any following updates.
• Our sample size is 25,000 boxes per level.
• This data was collected by modifying the game. This was done for research purposes only. We do not condone hacking for personal gain.

Meanings of Colors
29
Mint: Collection guns and second-tier black armor (used in certain niche builds)
30
31
32
Green: Top-tier [BLACK] guns and armor. All are very powerful and most are used in endgame builds, specifically the "S1" builds in SAS Community's #class-builds channel.

⚠️ Small Peaks in Probability ⚠️
40
We're confident that percent chances are close to correct, but they were derived experimentally so they won't be perfect and will show some random deviation.
In simpler terms: if you see something like this-
[1.82%] [1.80%] [1.95%] [1.72%] [1.81%]
-the level with 1.95% does NOT actually have the highest chance to drop that item, and the level with 1.72% does NOT have the lowest chance. This is just random statistical deviation, and should not be treated as factual.

⚠️ Nightmare strongboxes ⚠️
56
All strongboxes in Nightmare mode have a loot modifier which gives items based on a level lower than your character is (for example, if you're level 47, BBs from Nightmare might give you a Gebirgskanone, even though it "stops dropping" at 43). It's unclear how exactly this works or what the precise levels are, but keep that in mind if you find items outside the range listed on this sheet.
