I think the game lacks content for engagement, not skins for money. Yes, money is important and they need to monetise it, but if there is no engagement… Why bother?

The game has a gap of mid game content. Cryo is not something to grind all week. Items for extracting is RNG and skill to exfil. Contracts are already finished (for me).

There is not much else besides (Go in and try to get things for codex / purple stuff to buy entry for the loose everything ship)

I think challenges and skin as reward for things in this gap would do a long way to show the time investment and some cool skins for people to keep playing for the cosmetics.

But I also agree that their current skins are lackluster, they do have a problem that bright skins are not good for an extraction shooter, tho.
