How many extra Eldritch crossbows are in the game because of the bug abuse if we averaged it?

since its in the hundreds, not thousands, we can just assume 1000 as an upper limit.

each piece is 1/167 duo, 1/266 trio. The latest variants of the bug required 2+ people to trigger (there were multiple variants, but most i seen used 2+ people), so, not the solo 1/55 rates.

we can assume each person did 1,000 of them for the hell of it. (1m kills)

if they got one every 167 kills in duo, there would be 5988 pieces. assuming they dropped equally it would be ~1966 crossbows.

if they got one every 266 kills in trio, there would be 3759 pieces. assuming they dropped equally it would be about ~1253 crossbows.

realistically, these are not the numbers as i assumed 1000 players for a hundreds scenario, and assumes 1,000 kc when that's most likely not the case whatsoever. (chances are, in most cases, it'd be under 100 or 200)

RNG works in wonderful ways so, basing in the drop rate is unrealistic as well as there can be random pieces making stocks more than mechanisms for example being incomplete bows, as well as you're not guaranteed them on the drop chance and can go through all your kc without seeing any.

so, don't take these numbers seriously. this is more of a "worst case, in an ideal world which doesn't exist" scenario. as there can be some odd ones with more kc or more drops than i described weather they're being truthful or not. (saying they did, or modifying screenshots, etc)
