Welcome back, Pilots! We've got a mid-week event crunch here, with some need-to-know information concerning the surprise events that we had no previous knowledge of. Honestly, I'm not quite sure what Bandai's reasoning was here, but I'm not exactly one to complain. First up is this all-new banner for Gundam F91 and Buster Gundam.

We had seen some information awhile back concerning these two Gundams, and that it was listed as an "event login bonus". However, we had absolutely no clue what method in which this login would give us parts for new Gunpla. That method, apparently, is a banner with a unique currency called Capsule Medals.

These Capsule Medals can be spent in an amount of 1 or 10 (one for a single and ten for a multi draw, although there is no bonus for pulling ten) in an attempt to get parts for these two. F91 is the featured 4* of the two, and I have to say that I'm far more interested in the Parts as a whole than the current featured banner (which I am straight disappointed with). Honestly, F91 as a whole is a pretty exciting suit, but I'm not about to crack out a tier list here. Despite that I think Buster is the real prize out of this banner.

How do you get these Capsule Medals so you can try your hand at these sweet, sweet Parts? Well, logging in, of course!



As you can see, the logins give a grand total of 30 Capsule Medals over 7 days of consecutive logins, which will give you 30 total Part draws. There is not a higher rate for any of these draws by doing them as a multi-draw or a single draw, so feel free to hammer at it any way you want.

Only 30, you say? Are there more? Lots more, actually. You can buy 5 of these bad boys from the Event shop for 10 Advance Coins apiece, to a maximum of five Capsule Medals. Additionally, you have a chance at one dropping on each Event stage that you complete. The drop rate for these is currently unknown, but we have some theories on that, as a whole. While we have originally compared them to the assume rate at which Awakening Circuits seem to drop, a few of us have been collecting data to find a numerical value, or approximate drop rate. If you're interested in helping these efforts, you can join the official discord of the subreddit "r/gundambattlegunplawarfare"

At this time, it looks to be roughly in the range of 20% to 30% drop rate overall, but there have been a larger amount of actual reported drops overall in the 35 energy cost mission, or "Super Hard" difficulty. Keep in mind that this is the opinion of the author and not a definitive result. Later, after we obtain more data, we can likely explain a more definitive drop rate on these items. This type of Event is confirmed to be a normal occurrence moving forward, but the F91/Buster banner will close on October 17th. There is also no evidence that these Parts will be added to the Standard Capsule banner after the Event has closed; these appear to be limited.
