Cargo pods



Cargo pods in ToH are the primary way to acquire resources (metal, plasma) and components.

Getting Cargo Pods
Cargo pods can be aquired by two methods.
 * After a mission you will be rewarded with a random cargo pod.
 * You can purchase specific cargo containers with prestige.

Cargo Pod Contents and Rarity


Cargo pods always contain plasma and metal, and may contain one to many of either prestige, missiles, conduits and/or components.

The components rarity is equal to the type of the cargo pod. Like everything else in ToH, cargo pods come in five different rarities: common, uncommon, rare, very rare and legendary. Cargo pods rarity does not equal content rarity. In other words, a cargo pod is not guaranteed to contain any components at all, its rarity level only sets the level of a component if one is generated by the loot table. If the loot table for a cargo pod generates no component, the pod will contain only plasma and metal, as well as possibly some conduits and prestige. Therefore you can get a legendary container with NO components to speak of, just metal, plasma and possibly conduits and prestige.

A sample of approximately 200 runs at missions 7 and 8 (Sector 1) suggests that the component/no component ratio is about 50/50. A recent patch (early July) suggests that all very rare and legendary pods are now guaranteed to contain component drops.
