Floor Item Probability?

Is the chance of getting each item on the floor the same as its rarity via PickUp? Earlier today on round 8 I got 5 Guard Specs in a row, which would obviously be 1/100,000 which seems a bit unlikely. I also didn't get any Hyper Potions after something like round 3.

Well, have you tried via Pick Up?
From a quick look at the disassembly, it looks like the chances are not the standard Pickup chances (as the page currently suggests). It's a bit too complex for me to exhaustively do this now, so I've added a research template instead. Thanks for bringing this up. Nescientist (talk) 22:52, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
I haven't been using a PickUp user on my run I'm afraid - I wasn't explicitly playing for research purposes, just noticed something didn't seem right! WhameWhame (talk) 23:01, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
It appears to depend on both the floor and the round. Apparently, you can get up to 30% chance for Guard Spec., in which case the chance you observe that "only" is about 1 in 400. Nescientist (talk) 23:47, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
