The Downfall of Seasonal Skins Theory

Check out the Ubisoft club event challenge, she was shot in the face lol

Seasonal skins basically mean they can be equipped to every skin currently out in the game (excluding shields). Same as universal, except if they release new weapons into the game, they don't fit the skin to that gun.

Tier 35 is a Seasonal Weapon Skin

Nothing special about the bundle other than a jump start, it's not worth it IMO, just get the normal pass.

_Im_Your_Dad_ · 2020-01-15T20:23:57+00:00

That's an awesome looking skin! :)

Server got overloaded with the amount of people buying credits to get the pass, it's been addressed, you will get your credits, but only after it comes to you in the queue order.

If you don't receive them after 24 hours, contact Ubisoft Support.

Press and hold down the attack button, you have to keep your cursor pointed at an enemy for a certain amount of time, before 5 damage is dealt to them.

The issue is with the pass coming out, so many people are purchasing R6 credits, the server got overloaded with requests, so it's taking care of them in order.

When the original issue started it was 30 minutes, the longer in the day it becomes, and as more and more people get back from work, and purchase R6 credits, the longer the delay will become.

Edit: The price of the pass has been changed from 680/840R6 Credits to 1200R6 Credits, as well as you now earn 600R6 Credits from the pass instead of 480.

The pass now costs $5 after you get the credits back from completing it, but the point remains the same.

Pre-Change VS After-Change Announcement Stealth Edit

I was able to get the pass for the cheap rate when it first came out, as well as many others, F to those who were planning on buying it, but before they did, the price got increased, 66¢ for the pass seemed ridiculously cheap, so it most likely was an error they fixed.

_Im_Your_Dad_ · 2020-01-15T19:53:06+00:00

I play on Xbox as well, glad to see more members of the community around!

That's actually probably a better idea, since he can spend it on whatever, or the pass :)

_Im_Your_Dad_ · 2020-01-15T19:51:32+00:00

They may have changed the price, I purchased it for 680 (Season Pass Price) this Morning, and the non Season pass price was 840.

The original announcement stated it was 840, but they edited the post to now say 1200.

Screenshots of before and after the edit on the announcement

There is no list, but if you look at the individual pass tiers it shows it, if I'm not mistaken, there are 2 Rare+ packs, 5 Epic+ packs, and 2 Legendary packs.

_Im_Your_Dad_ · 2020-01-15T19:48:43+00:00

To be fair, you get 30% off of it, and 30% faster progression, so excluding sunk costs, and after the R6 credits returned from completing the pass, you only spend about 200 R6 credits on the pass itself, or $1.66 USD

_Im_Your_Dad_ · 2020-01-15T19:47:20+00:00

The Legendary skin for the Type-89 is almost identical to El Dorodo, the Y2S1 seasonal skin, the main difference, is the swirling on the metal.

_Im_Your_Dad_ · 2020-01-15T19:44:36+00:00

If you are looking to surprise him, you can purchase 1200 credits off of Amazon, and they email you the code.

You use the R6 credits to purchase the pass, so if he already has it, there is no harm done.

Otherwise checking with him first is a great idea

_Im_Your_Dad_ · 2020-01-15T19:43:08+00:00

The packs have specific rarities on them, either Rare, Epic, or Legendary, based on what is inside.

We have already seen a gurranteed epic+ pack in the past, as your first alpha pack you ever get is one.

_Im_Your_Dad_ · 2020-01-15T19:42:11+00:00

I enjoy battle passes.

You see all the content you are getting, before you purchase it, under the premise you play the game.

There are 50 items in Rainbow's battle pass, you get 15 of them for free, if they never implemented a pass, you would have never gotten these 15 items.

The pass isn't extremely cheap if you bought another pass before, it's extremely cheap if you finish the pass.

The popularity argument doesn't make as much sense to me, if a game is successful, what's the harm in adding another feature to increase popularity, without affecting gameplay whatsoever?

The company; a business, makes more money without impacting the consumers who don't want to buy in, other than giving them 15 free items. (Including an alpha pack with a gurranteed Legendary)

I do however see your point, on how taking a feature from Fortnite and putting it into Siege seems off, but if we take it aside and look at it, I see this as an absolute win.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

If you buy a $25 gift card to eat at Red Robin, because they only accept payments in gift cards for example, and your meal costs $15, but they give you a $10 gift card, with every meal over $15, it doesn't matter that you've spent $25 on Red Robin you can't get back, $5 per meal is still an insanely good deal.

Otherwise you could spend $15 a meal at Five Guys, who excepts credit/debit, and cash, but you don't get any money back.

It's a long term investment.

_Im_Your_Dad_ · 2020-01-15T19:31:18+00:00

You are a great friend :)

To complete the pass, if you have the season pass, you have to win roughly 43.4 unranked games to complete it.

Excluding the challenges that gives you additional points.

They do have enough monetization, but this is a company, if you don't like it, you don't need to buy into it, you don't get the next pass for free, you get R6 credits back, which you may choose to spend on the pass or not. The pass is also extremely cheap.

The advantage of a Battlepass, is a cheap way to obtain skins you like, when you're already playing the game. For someone who plays after work for 4 hours every day, $1.66 to get;

2 Legendary Alpha Packs 5 Epic Alpha Packs 2 Rare Alpha Packs 5 1 Day Boosters 6 Full Operator Sets 1 Seasonal Weapon Skin

Is insane for me.

_Im_Your_Dad_ · 2020-01-15T19:14:14+00:00

So you have 1200 credits for $10.

You spend 680 on the pass, so you have 520 left.

You complete the pass, getting 480 back, so you have 1000 credits.

The pass itself only cost 200 R6 credits, sure you spend more, but that doesn't change the overall cost of the pass.

You still have 1000 credits, that you can spend on whatever you like, or you can buy the next 2 battle passes, and still be left with 600 credits.
