Is anyone actually paying this much for weapon skins?

[Ivy Augustine Hall]

Seriously. Why does a skin like this even cost 5.2k ARX when I could buy 3-4 entire ship skins with similar aesthetics for the price of one handheld firearm?

 

[Eeka]

lol are there weapon skins? cool

 

[Ivy Augustine Hall]

i honestly didn't even realize until about 30 minutes ago lmao i've been playing the dlc since it came out

If they had any decent skins, I'd think about it.... but not at that price.

 

[Andro]

They are pretty overpriced for mostly generic things. Some of the ones for plasma weapons are OK.

 

[ebbrell]

Yeah I bought that one. I want chrome ones to come out

 

[Kimosabe_X]

Maybe one day when they are on a sale... about 60% off...

So never, I guess...

Thanks for the heads up I always forget about weapons skins.

I'll go buy some now.

They are a bit pricey imo. But I solve that by only buying when there's a sale and I use up my free arx.

 

[Sara Lyons]

10x too expensive

 

[Ralph Vargr]

I bought the alphabet bobbleheads with my free ARX.

Weapon paint jobs are not exciting me.

 

[ferus]

No, they are overpriced.

 

[yianniv]

I bought 2 with free arx, and some spare from before. They're overpriced.

Half the ARX would still be pricey but probably acceptable. A third the ARX feels more appropriate to me, though. I rather save up my free ARX for a ship kit than two and a half gun skins.

I bought a couple for my AR50 and Aphelion during a sale, and only because I had about 9k free accumulated Arx on my account and didn't know what else to do with them.

They made the weapons look even more like toys, and I regret wasting so much Arx on them now instead of getting a couple of Chromed skins for my ships.

Am steering clear since and since I won't buy any more Arx ever again I can't afford them anyways lol.

Arguably a ship skin for 2-3k is expensive too. Or the cmdr skins for around 12k.. Still I see lots of them frying/walking around.

If you feel it is expensive wait for sales or dont bother with them. Also.. Forgot the costs of the gpu/hotas/etc?

Yeah I noticed a lot more players splurge on the more expensive skins than those who don't, or who stick to the cheaper stuff. Not judging them, I used to do so myself (am drawing a line at the EDO skins though as I really do think they're way overpriced).

And I'd still be at it if FDev didn't botch the transfer of existing skins into EDO's rendering system properly. I should be grateful for that really as they're really poor value for money in terms of effort and quality, always have been especially if you compare them with what other games offer, and at what price points.
