The shop isnt very exciting and I can understand why they probably aren't making much money from it. But I reckon a fair few people would buy a new finishing move for their fav character, if the devs put a bit of effort into it.A lot of people use finishing moves now (when there is time) as it fills your armour back up and Apex doesn't have dance moves (like Fortnite) but Apex has finishing moves, so they need to add more. Some characters only got 2 and they arent even that good.Fortnite made a fortune from these and even Cod has added to their finishing moves. Apex had this way before COD and hasn't taken advantage of it. Its like the devs think nothing is a good idea unless they think of it.How many people asked for a gold mag? I dont know 1 person that wanted a gold mag to do this, but I know there are so many other things people would love in this game.

@johnmiceter I think the Gold magazine is more of a game mechanic where as the finisher is just a cosmetic. I would like to see more finishers, definitely prefer them over the dive emotes. I like the Dive Emotes, but I get more use out of finishers. I tend to finish people given the opportunity for the armor refresh. Granted half the time I do it, I regret it.

@johnmiceter Agreed, I am one of the people who constantly utilise finishers. The aesthetic element is cool and all but for me its all about that free shield regen lol. It boggles my mind when I watch people spend ages trying to strafe around a knocked players shield to shoot them, when they could just save ammo and pull off a finisher for a free recharge.Yes its a risk...but if you're gonna spend 15 seconds failing to thirst a player...surely that's a bigger risk?

@MandatoryIDtag Its such a shame though, because its a great thing, the Finishers. I have bought most of the ones currently available for the hero's I use and would definitely buy more.And I reckon more people would use finishers if there were some really cool ones.Just look at Fortnite for example with dance moves. I have a friend that has bought nearly every single dance move and when I used to play it years ago, I bought a fair few also.I heard Fortnite made millions and millions from this and this is Apex's best thing I would buy from the store as its useful and you would use it alot. I would probably die more often using it lol.

@Lord_Scorpion34 No, we don't invincible finishers. Thank you.

@Pure_Funk_Nugget Yeah exactly my point, finishers have risk-reward factor so their usage is low. And low usage means you don't get more. End of discussion, period.I thought when using skydive emotes, you have to also fight in the sky. 😉

Why dont they add more FINISHING MOVES in the game ?

@johnmiceter They aren't gonna add more finishers cuz the data shows finishers aren't being used at large scale. While something like skydive emotes get used a lot.

Finishers are actually quite time consuming to make also, which is another factor towards the comment above. 😛

@MandatoryIDtag Haha yeah and what better way to do it, then to do it in style with a new cool finishing move.

My friend and I have had talks about this ever since Apex came out and we both said we would buy more of these, if they made them.

Everyone hates being finished (including me) but seeing some new finishing moves, I wouldnt mind at all.

I use Bang and she only has 2 of them while most heroes have 3 and both her 2 are average and would buy a new one in a flash if they put effort into them and made them good.

@johnmiceter I agree. Finishers have not been added to. A lot of people do them. They also need to be Epic, not Legendary. It just dilutes the Legendary pool, and for what? I've never seen them on the store for sale either.

I'd expand this to include Skydive Emotes. They at least add those to events and Battle Passes. I think the problem with Skydive Emotes is they don't have any UI for them in the main menu. They are never on sale in the regular store either.

@johnmiceter Again, dance emotes get used way more than finishers....

You know why Wraith/Path/Octane get way more skins and such, more people playing them

@ILostT0Loba I reckon more people would use the other characters also, if they got some really great skins and finishers.

When a good outfit comes out in the Battlepass for a certain hero, it makes me revisit a hero I havent used for a while and I reckon if they made some cool finishers, I would definitely want to try them out in game.

@johnmiceter They said during a stream that finishers werent used enough to warrant new one.
