What x1 Luck Means
Detector luck multiplies the rarity chance of the dig sites you find. x1 luck means the game weights rare, epic, and legendary spawns x1 compared with the Rusty Detector baseline. Higher luck is the fastest way to move from junk farming to rare item hunting, but it only helps if your shovel is strong enough to dig the pings it finds.
Is the Rusty Detector Worth Buying?
This is the free starter detector. It is the only option when you begin, so use it to learn how pings work and when to dig.
