How Luck Boosts Change Crate Value

Luck boosts raise your odds of pulling a higher-rarity car from a crate. Mathematically, a luck boost is worth far more on an expensive crate than a cheap one, because the absolute value of the upgrade is larger. This is why you should bank the LARP code (and any future luck codes) for a single big opening session rather than spending it the moment you redeem it.

  1. Save your luck codes until you can afford a batch of your best crate
  2. Redeem all luck boosts right before opening
  3. Open every crate in the same session while the boost is live
  4. Do not waste boosts on cheap crates
