Bo2 First Box Patch _hot_

Let’s break down the history, the mechanics, and the strategies behind the . What is the "First Box Patch"? In the context of Black Ops 2 , the term "first box patch" refers to an undocumented (and some argue, unintentional) change made to the Mystery Box loot table logic early in the game’s lifecycle. Before a specific hotfix (patch), the first time you opened the Mystery Box on any map, you had a statistically equal chance to pull any weapon in the box, including the top-tier Wonder Weapons.

I believe that we can afford to give more of these gifts to the world around us because it costs us nothing to be decent and kind and understanding. And, I want you to know that when you land on this site, you are accepted for who you are, no matter how you identify, what truths you live, or whatever kind of goofy shit makes you feel alive! Rock on with your bad self!
