Re: Tasty wingman recolor in store

I've wanted Brass Beast for a long time, but did decide to pass on it.  First, I don't own Merciless Wing and would have had to purchase it.  I already own Death Ray and two recolors of it - one of them being Red Rocket, which I consider equally nice as brass beast.  I just couldn't see myself towards spending craft mats and legend tokens to get a skin that I already have three other nice versions of.

I considered getting the P2020 skin, as I already have the original.  But first, I put the original on and popped into the range to check out the iron sights.  I use the Nullifier, and to my eye the Lady Justice skin was far more distracting from the reticle dot.  I think it's because the skin is so bulky.  Anyway, I very seldom find myself using a P2020 with a sight, because I'm only using it off drop when I can't get any other, better choice or weapon or as a short term placeholder for another light weapon.  I think the Madame Mayhem recolor on offer looks a LOT nicer than its original, but I doubt I'll ever switch off the streamlined simplicity of Nullifier unless I see a nice recolor of it, or pull Green Mamba in an apex pack.

All this is moot to anyone who has the originals and legend tokens coming out their ears - they are both very attractive skins.  But I always seem to find myself in the ridiculous position of being poor in legend tokens.  I have to make the same decision this week with the peacekeeper skin.  I can either buy the very attractive blue recolor of Lone Star, or I can have tokens to unlock Vantage next week.   Decisions, decisions.  The blue PK skin is so nice that I'm completely on the fence about which choice I should make.

    @pandareno1999 Get the PK recolor. Everyone will want to use Vantage during the first week so it will be hard to have a chance to play as her if you solo queue.

    @Cheese9Man I played very little at the beginning of this season for various reasons. I had used up all of my tokens re-rolling dailies and buying recolors. In fact, getting Red Rocket right before the end of the season, as I mentioned, was what put me down so many tokens. I was only able to unlock Newcastle at least a month into the season. And I didn't really mind, I wasn't interested in playing him, really. I suspect the same will be true of Vantage, so I will probably follow your advice and get the PK skin.
