First day 3 gold chests, 2 silver, since then nothing more then average and the %increase you r supposed to get from regular chest is gone. Think there is an issue

Not sure if your question means you just bought him or if you are referring to after this week's update.

The 'average' for chests appearing was never that high to begin with. I averaged about two a day, so buying the companion really has boosted the numbers for me. I'd say it's tripled the number of chests at the very least.
What I don't know is: was that picture of White Claw in the top left corner of the chest window ALWAYS there since his introduction as a companion (I bought him immediately)? I never seem to have noticed it until recently, and wondered if the graphic is a recent addition? Also, is there such a thing as a 'generic' chest anymore? Mine all seem to be renamed to White Claw's Gold (or Silver) Chest.

As soon as you purchase the White Claw the image for the chest pop up changes to include White Claw in the corner. All the game mechanic altering companions (Arbo/Flynn/Ol' New Dude) all have the same behavior. The chests are also always a White Claw's xxxx. They replace the generic silver/gold chests.

I get chests without the white claw symbol and other than the first day, no real increase in chests. I was wondering...

And I never got 2 a day chest wise and still do not. Thought I would get more with purchase, looked good on first day, then...flat linr

I usually average just one gold chest a week, but had about 10 on the weekend and 2 on the last 2 days.

There I was thinking they had fixed it.

It must just come in cycles orr something..

I will document how many I get in a week. I am a dork about figuring out the break even point

Ever since I got White Claw, I get quite a few chests (probably close to 40% or more). I even had 2 gold chests at one time, the other day.

My results are consistent with obidawsn.

Yes mine too. About 3-5 gold & 10-15 silver a week. Maybe more
