Not getting the Uplink Bot

In all the hours I’ve played and countless packs I have purchased (mostly the minion booster pack) I have never received an uplink bot, yet I have received plenty of the plant equivalent: the bamboo shoot. I think there is a problem with the uplink bot’s probability.

    GOT IT! After all these hours I finally got one! It still baffles me that it took this long so here’s a few things that I did before I finally got my uplink bot:

    -I deleted my save file and retrieved it again through my account
    -I let another guy play on the same PS4 on a different account and he got the bot
    -the pack’s explosive opening animation stalled for a second or two before opening

  • You've got to spend lots and lots of coins to get the good bots.  It's just RNG and they have very low drop rates.  You'll be able to get all you want from the turret packs when the boss hunt starts.  Save your coins.

    Boss hunt? Is that a point in the game where I choose the item I wish to purchase? 

    Also, yeah, I know it’s random but the amount of packs I’ve purchased without getting it is ridiculous, especially since I have no trouble getting Bamboo shoots which should have the same probability.

    I believe that next week is the Brothers Gnomus boss hunt.  The calendar has not been updated for some reason.  During these events, special consumable packs are available for whichever faction is played in that particular hunt.  Bros Gnomus is for zombies.  These contain good quantities of the best pots and bots, and are one of the best values in the entire game.  I recommend saving up your coins for these.  I usually buy about 1M coins worth, which sets me up for a good long time.

    Correction - the boss hunt started today.  You've got until Sunday to spend as many coins as you can afford and get all the good zombie bots you need.

    I should note that I don’t pay for the PlayStation Network. So if that was an online thing that I wasn’t going to do it anyway. I’m going to try playing on someone else’s account to see if he has the same problem because the absence of the uplink bot has gotten beyond the point of ”bad luck”
