STAC

The Surplus Tech/Armor Containers  are "booster packs" sold in the Store for scrap or C-Bills. Each STAC contains various random items, ranging from the essential (chasses, weapons) through optional (tactics) to purely cosmetic (patters and decals). Each STAC type is intended to have a specific purpose, so that the players are encouraged to diversify their purchases rather than focus on a single STAC type to exclusion of all others.

Regular STACs
Four different levels of STAC are planned at this time, with the following breakdown, as shown on the MWT shop page.
 * Veteran (formerly: Bronze) - 8 Cards, 5 common or better, 3 uncommon for 1,000 scrap


 * Elite (formerly: Silver) - 8 Cards, 5 uncommon or better, 3 common for 2,000 scrap


 * Legendary (formerly: Gold) - 8 Cards, 4 uncommon, 3 common, 1 guaranteed rare for 3,000 scrap
 * Commander (formerly: Platinum) - 9 cards, 6 uncommon, 2 rare, 1 guaranteed rare for 5,000 scrap

Themed STACs
The Founders FAQ makes a reference to "Themed STACs". These STACs will be available in the general Store for a limited time, after which the only way to get them will be through the Premium Store.

It should be noted that while the idea of Themed STACs has been thrown around in the public forums for a while, we have no official information on what they are actually going to contain.

Card Rarity
Cards obtained in STAC boosters will have a rarity value attached to them, to help determine the value of the card.
 * Common - Blue color
 * Uncommon - Yellow color
 * Rare - Purple color
 * Ultra-Rare - Red color
