The Real Info

Only not getting rare items at all(increases) modifies your luck now, any previous accessory luck modifiers have been changed and their luck bonuses added to the base stat!

If you are the exceptionally unlucky kinda guy, it helps as the longer you active chance for those (like beating bosses, opening caches, citadel etc) - the chance gets easier until you get something like a weapon mod or higher! The scales prevail!
