Weekly weapons Scrap Exchange updates

I recorded a video about the Battlefield 1 inventory bug.
This week MP18 is in the weekly scrap exchange.
The inventory bug affects three MP18 skins (they are not even visible by default on the inventory screen):
Der Weimaraner skin for MP18 (Road to Battlefield V reward), The Hutier skin for MP18 (Battlefest reward), Siegfriedstellung skin for MP18 (Road to Battlefield V reward)

The basic inventory screen state for smg is 0/87.
When purchasing the three special MP18 skins, the smg counter changes: 1/88 -> 2/89 -> 3/90
And of course they will be visible on the inventory screen, even though they were hidden until now

my video:

This is Maria.

This is NOT a bug. This is intentional since these are considered exclusive skins, so naturally - you won't see them inside the Inventory tab until they are obtained.

I've seen a person on Reddit blaming this on the recent UI update, but this is not the case. This existed before the recent UI update and I even talked about it on Discord, which predates the update itself (I've marked the date of the post I made on Discord in red).

This was made intentionally, because these were Battlefest/Road to BFV skins. I knew this cap increase existed from beforehand, and I've literally mentioned that in Page 1 of my sheet explaining how the cap behaves through these skins, because they are considered "hidden" skins. I thought I made that crystal clear, but some still get confused by it

sry my hunglish, Maria
But I also don't understand how you can decide with 100% accuracy whether a given skin can be obtained by battlepack.

for example, The Pegahmagabow skin for SMLE MKIII (Battlefest reward, PTFO skin)
A second event, known as Battlefest: Revolution, took place from September 19 to September 30, 2017.
4 missions for exclusive weapon skin for MP 18, Cei-Rigotti, Lewis Gun and SMLE MKIII.
https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Battlefest#2017

Suppose that:
1. condition: I only started playing BF1 after the Road to BFV event
2. condition: I only get skins through battlepack (weekly scrap exchange and community missions are strictly excluded)

You decide based on the law of large numbers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers) whether a given skin can be obtained by battlepack.
You buy a lot of battlepacks and once you get the skin, is that skin available through battlepack?
My two conditions (1. AND 2.) must be true of course.

@HUN_gattaca_lg  I don't think it has ever been officially confirmed that these skins do not drop from battlepacks, but, empirically, it's clear it's like that.

Personally I've never got neither a PTFO skin, nor an Arras skin, a golden-mahogany skin or a golden-ivory skin (the Road to Battlefield V reward skins) from any kind od battlepacks. The same applies for the Tsar, Apocalypse and Turning Tides legendary skins (Dead Kings, De Scévola, Company K and so on). 

@mrtnm1994117 

I don't understand either:
Is
the set of skins that do not appear on the inventory screen by default (which increase the value of the counters)
proper (or strict) subset of
the the set of skins that Maria says are not available via battlepack?
Or are the two sets actually the same?

I have a bunch of scraps, I'll make a video about opening of battlepacks.
And I will compare my results with Maria's list.

@Viancee_IlI 

I had some time and read your theory several times.
I think there are 3 skin differences during the calculations.

default inventory screen:
self-loading rifle: 129 skins
smg: 87 skins
lmg: 129 skins
rifle: 143 skins
shotgun: 59 skins
sidearm: 175 skins
vehicle: 83 skin
129 + 87 + 129 + 143 + 59 + 175 + 83 = 805 skins (slot) visible on inventory screen by default

inventory screen with all skins:
self-loading rifle: 137 skins
smg: 92 skins
lmg: 137 skins
rifle: 151 skins
shotgun: 62 skins
sidearm: 178 skins
vehicle: 89 skin
137 + 92 + 137 + 151 + 62 + 178 + 89 = 846 skins visible on inventory screen with all skins

all 846 skins - 805 skins (slot) visible on inventory screen by default = 41 skins not visible on inventory screen by default

ultimate revision battlepack (special, distinguished or legendary)
potential (1 item): 15 skins + 750 other possible skin = 765 special, distinguished or legendary skins drop from battlepacks

enhanced ultimate revision battlepack (distinguished or legendary)
potential (1 item): 15 skins + 378 other possible skin = 393 distinguished or legendary skins drop from battlepacks

superior ultimate revision battlepack (legendary)
potential (1 item): 15 skins + 118 other possible skin = 133 legendary skins drop from battlepacks

special skins drop from battlepacks= 765 special, distinguished or legendary skins drop from battlepacks - 393 distinguished or legendary skins drop from battlepacks = 765 - 393= 372 special skins drop from battlepacks

distinguished skins drop from battlepacks= 393 distinguished or legendary skins drop from battlepacks - 133 legendary skins drop from battlepacks = 260 distinguished skins drop from battlepacks

805 skins (slot) visible on inventory screen by default - 765 skins drop from battlepacks = 40 skins (slot) visible on inventory screen by default, but not drop from battlepacks

@Colt6940H 

Maria's battlepack theory is interesting, it just needs to be proven in practice, which takes a lot of time.
I forgot that there is also a fourth type of battlepack: the Operations Battlepack.
https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Battlepack/Battlefield_1_Active_Series
Operations battlepacks have a higher chance of awarding rarer skins than standard battlepacks, as well as awarding puzzle pieces to unique melee weapons (Russian Axe Puzzle Piece and Russian Award Knife Puzzle Piece).

I found a post on reddit from six years ago: the Operations Battlepack Contents.

Hoping for 1911 for once 

@Viancee_IlI

sry my hunglish
I tested Maria's battlepack theory today.
The following very detailed explanation was made by Maria:
https://imgur.com/a/zEZv1lr

How much resources did i have for the test? I had ~72000 scraps and the duration of the test was ~6 hours.
What battlepack types did i buy? I only bought superior ultimate revision battlepacks for 900 scraps.
The superior battlepack only drop a legendary skin, and it can also drop a bonus puzzle piece or xp boosts.
Of course, I recorded every superior battlepack's opening.
I didn't keep a single legendary skin, I sold everything (legendary skins, bonus puzzle pieces and xp boosts) to have as many attempts as possible.
Using this method, I was able to collect 91 different legendary skins from superior battlepacks.

I don't upload all 91 different superior battlepack's opening videos to YouTube, here is my last video when my scrap ran out.

Here is the screenshot of my test result:

I will try to explain Maria's battlepack theory one more time.

=
total 78 skins NOT DROPS from battlepacks (Maria)

Comparing my list (legendary skins dropped by superior battlepack during my test) with Maria's list (skins NOT DROPPED by the battlepacks), we can see that there is no skin that is on both lists.
Maria's battlepack theory passed my test.

A few words at the end:
If I had more scraps and more time, I would have continued the test.
I only opened superior ultimate revision battlepack for 900 scrap. I haven't tried the other three battlepack types:
-ultimate revision battlepack for 200 scrap
-enhanced ultimate revision battlepack for 450 scrap
-Operations battlepacks
