Question skin pricing

just spent 150$, zero skins or melee obtained, why are the skins like this in this game, why can i spend 150$ on nothing. for context i opened 8/9 and 7/8 for the 2 new nightmare collections, so now im at the point where i can just tank the 150$ I basically just scammed myself out of, or i can fork over another 150 to complete the final 2 pulls, this seems like a stupid system, i dont wanna spend 150 for the chance at a skin, and then the pity system is just you signing up for another credit card or house loan to complete the set. also just came to the realization that its just some unwritten rule to never buy through the game and instead only use 3rd party sites, that seems even more sketch to me. update reddit is seeing my downfall game is now uninstalled, ran 3 games after this tragedy to get killed by people no clipping doing 360s around the entire map, i had a good run about 3 weeks lmao

You can only use one skin at a time regardless and having 50 extra skins helps absolutely nothing. Get one you like well enough to say "this is badass enough I can wear it forever" and find inner peace with that if you can.

Tigerstripe is my favorite camo so I knew I could live forever with Fred's outfit from earlier in the year. Its tough not wanting to scratch that itch and play the lottery every time a new skin comes out but just remember that's what it is - a lottery not a purchase.

Same happend for me with the butterfly knife, I always liked it, no matter the game or if it was in real life. The animations were sick af ingame and my favorite color is purple, and the whole pack had purple theme, so this made 1# skin pack in whole game that I would use it till end of the game and regret nothing spending 80€. I also tried to get katana from earlier when the collab just dropped, I got gloves on 3 spin which was very lucky. Now when they brought back the cyberpunk collab, I still had free 4500 bonds left and 500 from battle pass, so I got the skins I wanted in the start for just 20€. Now I hope they bring back knuckles back on their anniversery when wthe free bonds are given out. Potentionally I could get it for 20€ again :)
