I was wondering if you could retrieve the percentages you get weapons from the weapon random box. Mainly the Raygun, Wunderwaffe, and monkey bombs as they are the most important guns to get.
Also is there any reason to opening the box when the question marks are fully golden?
You are my bro, bro

The Random Box has a code comment referring to the randomization as "Mario Kart" style.
First, the game does a randomly ordered roulette wheel from the list of weapons that the level has.
It scratches off any weapons the rolling player has in his inventory, then it rapidly runs through the roulette list it has generated and stops on whatever.
For the first box, Joker has a 15% chance of destroying the box on the fourth to seventh uses of that box.
On the eighth opening of that box, Joker will always destroy the Random Box.
For every box after that, Joker has a 15% chance for the first seven pulls.
30% on and after use eight.
50% on and after use thirteen.
After using the Random Box (overall) seven times, the RayGun's becomes available with a chance of appearing in the list (not necessarially being picked) of 10%.
After twelve times, 15%.
After Round 5, the Tesla Gun will have a 15% chance of appearing in the list (not necessarially being picked).
After Round 10, the Tesla Gun has a 20% chance.
The glowing question mark is just an animation and is not monitored by the game - it doesn't affect anything.

Presumably when every weapon is in the roulette it has an equal chance of being picked which means about 1/25 in der reise. I have heard rumors hand grenades are in the box for a 1/2000 chance of being picked so that would be false right? There would be around 23 and maybe 22 if the raygun and wunderwaffe don't get put in so my odds for the monkey bomb are pretty high but the ray gun and the W' gun is pretty slim.
Raygun gets a. 04% chance at round 7ish and wunderwaffe gets a .08%? I'm tired so my math might be off. Is this correct? Monkey bomb would get a 4% chance then.
There is no Type 99 or sawed off in der riese right?

I don't know about hand grenades, but I do know that some weapons have a lower chance of rolling than others. For instance, the rarest weapon in the box (at least that I've seen) is the Colt (i.e. the pistol you start out with). I've played zombies compulsively ever since it was first released, getting hundreds of Ray Guns during that span, but I've only gotten the colt twice. Other than the Colt, I can't think of any guns that are particularly rare compared to all the others (even the Ray Gun and the Waffle). |

You can only get the colt on shi no numa. That would explain a bit, but it's still significantly rarer than any other gun. |
