Call of Duty Mobile, along with multiple other competitors, have released their own Halloween event. The limited-time event has been a blast to gamers as many free skins and boosts are made available for free after completing quests in-game. The best thing is that you can get all the best skins without paying a dime, as they can all be exchanged by event points.
However, on the Paying side of things, it's different. The odds of all the drops seem to be low enough that fans have been raging about them. A few of them have even voiced their concerns about the issue of microtransactions directly to Activision.
At the beginning of the event, the rate of the draw and crate were hidden – while it did not break the rules of the storefronts, things like that are still frowned upon. The real odds were revealed by a couple of data miners after that, and they were not pretty.
Because of the aforementioned actions, Activision has to put out a patch to resolve the issue. Currently, on the page for the lucky draw, you can check for the odds by tapping the “more information” button. This would work for both the roll and the crates. The last thing to be mentioned in this section is that both the cost and the odds would increase simultaneously after each draw.
According to a post by Activision, below are the real Lucky Draw odds of the first iteration:
HS0405 – Trick-or-Treat Camo: 12 percent
MSMC and Knife Hallowmas: 10 percent
Season Weapon Crate*1: 15 percent
AK47 Pumpkin Head: 0.08 percent
Outrider Skeleton: 1.25 percent
Purple Weapon Card*1: 25.67 percent
XPR-50 Hallowmas: Five percent
ATV Hallowmas: Nine percent
Backpack Hallowmas: 12 percent
This might not be the last time you heard about this issue, as the PUBG community is also demanding the same transparency for their microtransactions. This should be the industry’s default, as paying for the odds of getting something without knowing the exact details is very unethical.
