Which bip is in my barcode?

Every barcode in the world hides a bip. It is not picked at random when you scan: the code decides the species, and it is the same for everyone.

Same code, same species

When you scan a code, the game turns it into a fixed species of bip: its rarity, element, archetype, skills and look. If someone else scans the same product, they get the same species. That is what makes comparing fun: what is hiding in your favourite cereal?

Your specimen is unique, though: its stats vary up to 10 % above or below the species average, so two players with the same bip do not have exactly the same one.

The five rarities

Out of every 100 product barcodes, on average:

• Common: 60.
• Uncommon: 25.
• Rare: 10.
• Epic: 4.
• Legendary: 1.

Each rarity has about 7.5 % more stats than the one before: a legendary is stronger than a common, but a good team of commons with the right synergies can beat it.

Which codes work

• Products (EAN-13, EAN-8 and UPC, found on almost everything sold): can give any rarity.
• Other codes (QR, tickets, labels…): give wandering bips, which are uncommon at most.
• Codes typed by hand: work for common and uncommon bips. If a number hid something rarer, the game asks you to scan it with the camera.

Only the type of product is used, to choose the element: bips never carry the name or brand of what you scan.

Frequently asked questions

How likely is a legendary bip?

Roughly 1 in every 100 product barcodes. Epics come up in 4 out of 100 and rares in 10.

If a friend and I scan the same code, do we get the same bip?

The same species, yes. But each of you has your own specimen, with slightly different stats.

Can I make up numbers to get legendaries?

No. Typed codes only give common and uncommon bips; the rarer ones have to be scanned with the camera.
