Haloween skins...

I just had a look at some of the new skins that have come out and like a few of them.

I have to ask, what is with the pricing/packaging?  I wanted the bloodhound skins but I'm not going to pay €60 to get all the crypto junk and other cosmetics I have zero interest in.  Why not just sell it individually?

Serious question.  I was a bit surprised when I worked out how much it cost.

  • It's beyond shocking.

    The only true horror is the prices of these skins!!!

    To put into perspective. For the price of ONE skin bundle... YOU CAN BUY A BRAND NEW FULL PRICE GAME

    Whatever it is they're playing at is an experiment based on pure greed.

    It is genuinely digusting.

    I can't believe this isn't being flagged up anywhere by any media or watchdogs, 'cause this is genuinely getting way out of control.

    Can't wait til the first $1000 cosmetic pack is released.

  • It’s so disappointing. they’ve learned nothing, even from the backlash of last years Iron Crown event

    whats worse is that they’re not even new skins, the majority are just lazy recolours bundled in with last years skins. It’s one thing to charge a ridiculous price tag for new skins, but for lazy recolours? No thank you 

    so disappointing as well as I’ve been saving up my coins from the battle pass and was even prepared to buy some more if a new legendary Wraith skin came along. But I ain’t breaking the bank just for a lazy recolour of a skin I already own 

    Halloween is such a big event as well, you’d think they would have saved all the best skins for this instead of the Aftermarket collection, such a shame. But not as ashamed as they should be over them prices

    Ya, I don't get it.  Why package up loads of crap you don't want and jack the price up to a ridiculous amount so you can get that one skin you are after.  It's a cosmetic and probably one you are only going to use for the next few weeks.

    Really don't understand the reasoning for this.  One less sale I guess.

    Yeah, this is such BS. What a sh*tty way of doing business. I have only ever spent the original $10 on the battle pass because of the ridiculous prices/bundles they include in this game. If top skins were less money, or if they allowed you to buy skins separately (instead of in bundles like this absurd halloween event), I would have spent a ton of money on this game. But I can't support these business practices. They just give a huge middle finger to their fans every time they do this, and we have been fingered a lot 😉

  • they need money to pay their team to make more....skins and...those little things that go on guns that no one ever wanted

    It's like the obsession over heirlooms (in various Facebook groups for Apex).  I mean, *literally* no one cares.  It makes no difference.  I can loot your death box just the same.

    @StormPS3 Don't get me wrong.  This is a business and they expect to make some money from this.  It's basically a free game if you so choose.  I always get a battle pass and I generally pick up a cosmetic or two throughout the season (last one I bought was some time ago, it was the "Claustic" Caustic Santa Claus outfit, it's awesome).  I enjoy them sometimes as it allows you to be a bit silly and express yourself - I also appreciate other people do it for different reasons which is fine.

    I don't understand why they purposely pack stuff so it's basically a total ripoff.  That's what is happening here.  I thought they learned their lesson already.  I was *very* surprised when I realised they wanted me to pony up €60 for it.  Not going to happen.

    It is frustrating because it doesn't have to be this way.  It just doesn't.

    I try to throw a bit of money their way because I feel I should support what is an otherwise pretty awesome game.  Meet me half way guys...

    @RockDokRock While I agree this halloween event skin stuff is ridiculous I disagree with the heirloom. I love my hammer and will never get sick of seeing it.
