Is the loot drop rigged? RNG, drop rates and pity timers explained

Ever gone ten drops in a row without the item you wanted? It feels rigged, but it is usually just random chance doing what it does. This guide explains what a drop rate really means, why the average wait is not the typical wait, and how a pity timer caps the worst luck.

Try the simulator: change the drop rate, switch the pity timer on and off, and watch 1,000 players roll. You will also get a short checklist for reading a game's odds before you grind or spend.
