Random Box Balancing #615

So the Mystery Box seems to have a mind of it's own.

In one match, I can hit it 50+ times without getting the bear, yet in another I can hit it once and get the bear, and then have the same thing happen on every box hit for the next 3 box hits.

In actual zombies, the box is coded to never have a chance to roll a teddy bear until it has been hit three times, where it then gets a chance for the teddy to be obtained. I'm not sure how the chance is calculated, but around your 8th-10th box hit you have a 50% chance to roll a teddy, and no more then that.

Fire sales are exempt, obviously.

I have had the same experience. One game I use it once and I get the bear, other times I use it a bunch and don't get the bear. It doesn't feel random at all, it feels like the bear is a 50% chance to get, but then again there are those other times..

A better algorithm for determining bear chance could definitely be made.
