@E9ine_AC Be that as it may, that alone requires someone to even care about the shop recolors. If they don't, what then?
Addressing this topic directly, there are only three ways to use Legend Tokens thus far.
- Purchasing shop recolors, provided you have the pre-requisite which costs Apex Coins
- Re-rolling daily challenges you don't want
- Waiting until next season to purchase the newest legend
There are glaring flaws to all of these. For starters, the shop recolors can be bought with Legend Tokens, but you need the corresponding base skin to purchase it, which requires Apex Coins (or crafting metal if you unlock it through the loadout tab but they conveniently leave this option out in the shop). Given that you only get a solid week to get the recolor before they vault it, which appears to be permanently, if you can't save up the metal or money for the base, then you're just SOL and your tokens end up collecting dust.
As far as the daily challenges goes, there was a time when I would spend a good chunk of my tokens to keep re-rolling for challenges I can do easily. But now that they've dumb downed the dailies recently, I only ever have to re-roll once or twice if it's legend-related or that annoying "12 assists" daily. Again, tokens end up getting dusty.
And of course, the only other use for tokens is using them to unlock the next legend in the upcoming season... which takes around 3 to 4 months to happen. That's all I need to say on that.
The three ways to spend Legend Tokens in this game are both dull and inconsistent. Respawn could implement far more creative and lucrative ways for us to spend them but don't want to compromise the loot box system and exclusive events to do it. They could very easily allow us to spend huge chunks of our tokens to convert into crafting metal but that would give people a reason not to buy Apex Packs since that's the only way to get metal without the battle passes. It's not the tokens that are useless, it's the methods that require them.
