How can make a balanced equipment deck with seasons 1 and 2, and TCM?
It seems like the likelihood of drawing a three damage weapon is quite low with all the cards together.


S1 alone is the worst. S1+S2 is about the same as just S2. Adding TCM greatly improves the odds.


S1: 2/52 = 3.8% (2 sets of Molotov ingredients)
S2: 3/71 = 4.2% (2 sets of Molotov ingredients, Concrete Saw)
S1+S2: 5/123 = 4.1%
S1+TCM* = 5:/69 = 7.2% (2 sets of .44 Magnum + Hollow-Point Rounds, Flamethrower)
S2+TCM* = 6/88 = 6.9%
S1+S2+TCM* = 8/140 = 5.7%


TCM* = TCM excluding Ultrareds.


  A better way to look at the question would be if the decks are already combined how should they be broken down?
