Weekly weapons Scrap Exchange updates
I have calculated the theoretical amout of scraps you would need if every item would appear in the weekly exchange and you could buy it that way.
Amount of scraps needed by category and total:

It is interesting that in 2022 me and Maria also collected the maximum 846 skins.
Then we no longer had to beg the EA Dice community team for skins every week.
And Maria was brave enough in 2023 to report on Reddit about the exchange exclusive skins.
It is fair to ask that how can the BF1 player prove the "81 exchange exlusive skins" theory?
I think there are 3 different methods.
The first and most difficult method is related to Maria, because it requires skill in code reverse engineering. The method used by the BFEE community for Easter egg hunting is similar, but now you can guess the secret skins based on the decoded skin names.
I personally tried the second method. It also works with zero scrap, but it takes 2-3 days (a long weekend duration). There are a lot of videos uploaded on YouTube about Battlefield 1 Battlepack's openings. But we only need to note the currently available 4 Battlepack type openings: -Standard Battlepack (ultimate revision), -Enhanced Battlepack (ultimate revision), -Superior Battlepack (ultimate revision) and latest Operations Battlepack (with 125 items). Collect the list of skin names available through the Battlepack's opening videos (it is worth recording the YouTube video part).

The third method is developed by me. This is also a scrap free method, but faster (if you can type fast, a few hours). During the game you collect the possible skin names of the Superior Battlepack (ultimate revision). You don't need to buy the battlepack and you can generate new possible Battlepack's content by restarting the game.

Why does Dice not react to the discovery of the 81 exchange exclusive skin?
Because I think EA is afraid that the same scandal would break out among the players as in the case of Star Wars Battlefront II's unfair microtransactions in 2017.
I'll give you an example:
I bought a Standard Battlepack (Ultimate Revision) today for 2€.
here is my screenshot
Then I read the description of the standard Battlepack I bought:
Battlepack
Ultimate Revision - Purchased
Contains 1 skin from all items listed in inventory and a possible bonus.
Potential (1 item) from 15 skins
Possible Bonus from 9 non-skins item
+750 other possible skins
here is my screenshot
The 81 exchange exclusive skin is not literally, but hidden in the description by EA.
Because with one subtraction the result is 81:
846 (maximum skins) - 765 (non exchange exclusive skins) = 81 (exchange exclusive skins)
Why was Monday's malfunction in the scrap exchange backend system across three hours?
my another scenario:
Is it possible that an employee tested the technical limits of the system without success?Jaqub Ajmal's (ex-Dice exchange guy, ex- Dice producer) Twitter post in April 2023:
"The user interface would likely crash if you added all due to out of memory. I was told 10 or something like that was recommended but I think I pushed it to over 30 at times."When you wrote this comment in December 2020, didn't you have EA AHQ Hero status yet?
After Jaqub Ajmal ex-Dice producer, did EA_Atic (Christopher Hofmann) handle the weekly update?Is @ElliotLH (EA AHQ Hero) a BF1 skin collector?
Both Odin skin for Selbstlader M1916 and The Boykin Spaniel for BAR M1918 are exchange exlusive.Can’t find certain legendary skins in inventory?
