Did you notice the amount you need for an unlock.

Get 5, 11 or 17. Which is way less then on the other packs.

Valve have now given players the option to get unlocks by either picking them up over time OR by collecting achievements. Thank you so much Valve!!! :D

That's true. They probably lowered the number of achievements needed for each milestone so that it is as easy to get the milestones as it is to get the unlocks from picking them up.

They should also apply this then to the other classes..

Nah, the milestones are easy enough to get as it is and in the case of the Spy and Sniper are actually EASIER to achieve than waiting for the unlocks.

Apparently the average time needed to get an item (considering 25 minute checks with increasing probability) is 1 hour 40 minutes - and you don't know if you won't get a duplicate. And you get items from other classes as well.

Because you have no difficulty in obtaining the achievemnts of the other classes, some, like me, do have difficulties.

Medic and Pyro achievements, I have enough for all weapons. However for Heavy I have not enough and for scout I have absolutely none. Simply because of the time I do stick into them is not enough to get an achievement. And although some can be obtained by playing the class a lot, in my 'world' it would simply mean that with achievements, I would not get both the heavy/spy/scout unlocks in the next years.

Well - hence you have the drop system now and will get the weapons eventually. ^^

Anyways - if you're that desperate you can always use the Steam Achievement Manager - a proggy I used before the drop system.

By the way - some interesting graphs compiled by the author of the Fake Idling program - stats from one day of drops, although the total number of items exceeds 1.000.000 now.

Looks like Valve did a nice thing on the drop rate... very equal with a little tendency to the newer stuff.
