So, I've seen the Recruit, Veteran, and Spectre packs, and even asked a question about them. I mostly understand how those work. But today while playing multiplayer, I saw an Equipment Pack, which I have never previously seen.
- How does this differ from the other packs?
- What does the time limit signify?
- Is there anything in it that I can't find in the others?
- Why didn't I see it earlier? Is it something new, or did I have to do something to trigger its appearance?

There are a large number of different equipment packs. In general, the packs available from the multiplayer store grant you items, weapons and powerups, and unlock character classes. Some packs have a focus on a particular type of item, so for example, an Arsenal Pack will have a greater focus on weapons while a Jumbo Equipment Pack will only drop powerups.
