Duplicate Perma Camo in Pumpkin Crates Bugged?

[TTK_Aegis]

Hey guys. So on the website it says this:
QUOTE:
"Duplicates are Dumb 
If you pull a permanent Halloween camo you already own, the Container will randomly select another permanent Halloween camo. If you already own all permanent Halloween camos, you'll get a payout of 2,500 to 5,000 instead!"
 

But I've pulled a few duplicate Blade camos and I don't have all the perma camos. What gives, WG? Anyone else seeing this problem? Did I miss something? Is it no longer working that way?

Did it give you the doubloons for the duplicates still? I haven't read anyone else experiencing any issues.

Yeah, it gave the doubloons instead of one of the missing perma camos I don't have yet. It's happened a few times actually.

I've you've bought one of the bundles open them all first.

What I saw when opening mine was a lot of duplicates on the way through with the uniques towards the end, I'm guessing it picks your crates and front loads them, but then you're opening them in reverse order so getting the duplicates first.

That's a very likely explanation. I closed and reloaded the game and got ones I didn't have again as well but I think you're probably right here. They are probably already determined.

Actually, no I know you're right! Because when I did the Christmas boxes all the possible ships I didn't have where Nik and Grem and I got like 4 of each. Probably because they looked at what I had when I bought the bundle and pre-loaded the rewards. Makes total sense. 

Thanks! I think you nailed it!

I posted what I got in the other thread, but this is everything in the order I got it. Note that I already had the Jackal - Nassau and Ghoul - Benson skins before doing this (of which there were no duplicates at all). You can see from the Igor - St. Louis that the OP has a point. This will make them more money because people who missed some will want them all or missed a specific one they want will buy more crates. The question which remains is, was this deliberate or accidental. Honestly I got them all in the end and still considering buying another 55 crates just because of the big potential discount on dubloons and 2 of those 3 flags I use regularly. Although I am still pretty salty about the Clans so we'll see.

I got the same unique camo over and over.  Not happy until I read this post and checked my doubloons count.  Now I'm very happy.

[Spyde]

Are these worth doing to "attempt" to get doubloons ?

[awildseaking]

Happened to me too. Got a duplicate Jackal, still don't have Scarab or Magnus.
