Bring Reactive Weapon Skins to the Shop!

The short summury of my post:

  1. Bring reactive weapon skins starting from the first season into rotation to the special section in the shop. Maybe one-two skins for the beginning, to learn feedback from the community. I will also provide an example of how it may be introduced in my second post.
  2. Players, let's discuss the topic, share your thoughts, push likes. 
  3. I would very much like for some official persons, admins to be involved in this discussion.

There are many cool skins from the past (not only reactive weapon skins), it's a crime to hide them from the community, it's counterproductive. Bring the joy to all of us and the income for yourself, I'm sure, you will get good money by selling skins that already exist. 

Of course, some greedy persons will say: "you promised not to do it, these skins are exclusive, aaaa..."  - but they will NOT stop playing Apex because you throw some skins into the shop. Those who would stop - will do it due to some different reasons, not because you made statements about exclusivity in the past and now change your mind. 

We can describe this exclusivity in this way: a kid came into the candy shop with his mom at 8.00 and bought all the candies of certain types before other kids. They came at 9.00. Now the kid refuses to share his exclusive candies with other children. He will eat them alone, for a very long time, no matter what other kids want to taste them and ready to pay even more than his mom paid in the shop. 

You see? This is ridiculous and not healthy. It's time to share these candies with other kids! There's no logical reason why I can't get the golden reactive skin of Eva (110 tier) from s18 just because I started to play in season 22. Also I don't care if the current alternator reactive skin will go to the shop just after s24 ends. 

The majority of players purchase battle passes due to 3 reasons: they want to get new cool skins, to get additional packs, to get crafting metals and AC. Almost no one will state - they do it to get some exclusive, to be special...

Those who are interested, old players who missed some skins before, those who are not greedy and may share the joy with others - share your thoughts in comments. Devs, do a favor to us and to yourself - bring old skins to the shop rotation. My credit card is already reactive and wants to throw my money away.

  • Here is an example how future sales may appear:

    Reactive weapon battle passes, a different pass for each of the weapon types. One player can buy only one pass per season or per season split part (the second is better). So, these skins will retain some rarity status.

    To finish a pass player should finish tasks for the specific weapon, like wipe a squad or 2 squads with this weapon in a 1 BR game, make some amount of kills etc. But no time restrictions to complete the pass you purchased.

    Apex packs, thematic weapon packs, crafting metals will also be there, in the pass. In the end, a player will get 2 reactive skins for the chosen weapon. For the weapons like R-99 there may be 2 passes, 2 skins for each pass.

    What about those players who already own the skins? Instead of reactive skins they may get, for example, 50 heirloom shards by completing the pass! Yes, 50 shards. It means, after finishing 3 of such passes they will collect 150 shards to buy some heirloom skin. Why not? Sounds interesting, as for me.

    Also, ability to purchase the reactive pass may be available only for a few days or for a week after the beginning of a new season or of the season split part. Or only for players who reached at least diamond rank. Conditions may be different.
