Skin Trading

This will probably never be implemented because Respawn/EA probably wouldn't make as much money but I think it's a cool little idea- Let's say you love to use Bangalore but you never got a good skin for her, but you did get a legendary skin for Pathfinder- which your friend uses all the time. He has a really cool legendary for Bangalore but she just really doesn't fit his playstyle. If you both want to trade you could then request a trade, If the other player accepts you'll go through a few steps in which you both choose which skin you want to choose and it shows up on both of your screens which one both of you picked. You then press confirm and the selector goes away so you're locked into the skin you picked and if you both click accept the trade will go through. You will only be able to trade legendary for legendary, rare for rare, common for common, ect. You wouldn't be able to trade character skins for weapon skins but you can trade weapon skins for their weapon skins. (These are all ways to make sure no one gets scammed for their skin) It will ultimately make you feel a lot better about yourself and your character and your friend too.

And no, this is not just because i want a legendary for my favorite character. I'm willing to support the devs since they made such an amazing free game and i already bought my favorite skin in the game (I bought the liberator for wraith- uncommon opinion since most people say she looks like a cancer patient but the skin reminds me of jack from Mass Effect 2)

I just think it would be a really cool way to set this game apart from the other Battle Royale games and although it might make legendaries a lot more common as people would actually have them for the player they want- who doesn't want to look dope in a fight?

And come on nobody can say it doesn't look 100x cooler to be fighting some of the super cool legendary skin characters so its not like it would be a bad thing to have more legendaries around

  • Slightly off topic, but I really really hope that you can't ever sell any skins for real money. If this happens, here comes the cheaters, bots and everything you don't want in a game. I mean yes, there are allready cheaters, but get money involved and the amount of cheaters will explode.

  • That's another reason i added that it has to be legendary for legendary- it prevents people from giving you a common and you giving them a legendary for money. The only way i think these things would get sold for money is selling your account or if someone really wants to take advantage of you and steal your money so you have to give them a legendary and $5 or something for the skin you want- but i think it would be easier just to go onto a forum like reddit and you could probably find someone who has the skin you want and wants a skin you have- or you could make a post about it and I'm sure you'd find someone too. It sounds like a ton of fun as i remember in my early days I used to have so much fun trading Pokemon and this seems like it would be pretty similar and I think it's very fun to have your personalized character especially as new legends are soon coming out and people are going to learn who they're loyal to.
  • Personally I would prefer the option to sell your skins like the steam community store which will allow to make money as well

    You mean like selling the skins for apex coins? That's not really the concept I'm thinking of. I like the idea of making new friends through trading-  I feel like it would be a super fun addition to the game where it would be a lot easier for you and others to get skins for the characters you identify with

    @JolT_Fonz_TTV42 I would like the idea of two people gifting each other skins and trade for them like let's say you claimed twitch skins on the wrong account this could help fix this issue while also keeping everyone happy with the skins they want and if someone stops playing apex and has skins melting away skin for a skin
