I'm trying to prep for the new expansion. Will the command rank raise and then the new tier gear drops out of command crates tier 5? crates? I want to know if I should pop my cxp packs now or save them if thats the case or will the new tier gear just drop out of tier 4 still?

All i keep seeing are old posts saying that it was datamined that there were new command crates but never linked to the info or anything. It felt more like here say. So if someone has this info, it would be appreciated. I don't want to use all these CXP packs for absolutely nothing.

Thanks.

They are not raising the Galactic Command Rank. Max is still 300.

But you should definitely save your Tier 4 crates and Unassembled Components. We don't know for sure that come 5.10 the Command Crates already acquired will have a chance to drop 252 gear as well as a Masterwork Shard.

What we do know is that when 5.6 hit last November, the new drop rules applied to unopened crates.
