Where are the unit skins?

Hi all!

I got back into Rivals after like half a year. I was wondering: why aren't there any unit skins for sale? I thought some weren't event-unique but would be on sale all the time. I got quite a few diamonds from crates and would actually like to grab a unit skin to mix the game up a bit.

  • For some reason, all the released skins that could be bought with diamonds were in the shop for only about 1-4 weeks. After that period, they disappeared from the shop, never to be seen again. If EA/Redwood would bring the skins back, it would make them more money. Why they aren‘t returning them to the shop is a total mystery.

    Also, if you have noticed, there are some skins for units which weren‘t even in the shop/the race at all (for example, check the chem buggy. You can see an available skin there, even though it never was in the shop/the race). No idea what the heck they are doing, I bet it has something to do with their job contracts expiring. But in that case, why not just either release the skins, or remove the unused content from the game? In both cases its minimal effort...

  • @xMaksuss Thanks for the info. The one time you'd think they would leave like all the skins up because mOnEy to be made. 😉 I kinda wish they would, actually, I'd like to put a new paint job on a favorite unit or two.

    There has been some events that winner Could WIN skinns also. Instead of the great chest. There was possible to win a skin when you got first place. I won one of those.
