Field Lockers in Predator: Hunting Grounds offer players one way to unlock great looking cosmetics for the Fireteam and Predator weapons, armor, and accessories. The other method is to spend Veritanium Fragments to buy an item outright without the gamble of a loot table. After some testing, it is apparent that players can get infinite Field Lockers.
We discovered that there is a point where players will obtain enough items that they will begin unboxing duplicate items. At first this does not yield much. 75 fragments here, 250 there — if we get lucky — but eventually the collection of items grows to such a point that players on average earn more fragments than the cost of the Field Lockers, allowing them to open several, reinvest their fragments, and continue going on and on. The video below shows off a small sample of this, with around 200 Field Lockers opened.
Now, this collection was not tracked in a meticulous manner, otherwise it would be far easier to compile findings and speak with greater certainty about where this threshold lies for infinite Field Lockers. My account is currently level 66, and in total before noticing this upward trend in a net positive fragment gain, I estimate having opened around 120 Field Lockers, roughly 70 awarded from leveling up, and the rest through purchasing with currency.
This means that players might expect to see similar results after opening 120 Field Lockers of their own, though again each player will be different based on their luck. The point is that there is clearly a threshold to reach where the cost of purchasing a Field Locker tips into the negative numbers, and from there, its Veritanium Fragments all the way to the bank! Luckily, Veritanium Fragments are easy to come by and players can quickly do this on their own with regular gameplay.
With that in mind, we will reach out to Illfonic and see if this is working as intended or if they mean to adjust either Field Locker drop rates or how duplicates work.
