Anyone using this thread to spam or trade codes will be infracted or possibly banned on the spot. This is your only warning.

I downloaded the Season Pass, and I am not seeing the Liquid Metal weapon skins. They're not even in the possible list to purchase. Has anyone else experienced this??

Other than that, everything else worked; my Gears 1 and 2 achievements, beta stuff, etc. But I was pretty excited after my friend told me about the free Liquid Metal ones that come with the Season Pass until I realized I didn't even have them.

Any help or advice would be great.

[Primeval Panda]

The Liquid Metal ones are not ones that are "colored" such as the green, or team ones. It is already in your available skins list though so look toward the bottom in the Multiplayer options menu.

[collin232]

Tweaked the OP a little bit seeing as the thread was reset because of people trying to trade skins.

[KcazIsKewl]

Im soooooooooo confused how would you trade skins

Oh darn! Lol

On another not. It's nice seeing all the skins. Some of them look really nice!

[French_Kid]

I have 2 questions:

1) Does anyone know if EPIC is looking into correcting the DOMINATION achievement skin unlock? I have the achievement, unfortunately earned offline so it's not unlocking for me. Or is that pretty much a TFB situation?

2) The 2 skins that come with the DLC, Team Plasma and Jungle Camo, will they be FREE skins unlocked for doing something? Or are they NEW skins to PURCHASE?

1. Epic is removing the timestamp requirement on domination.

2. They come with the dlc and are useable as soon as you download the Map pack just like the new character skins.

[ooo0ooooooo0ooo]

Amazing guide! oh and props on the title image. Looks pretty sick. Would love if that were a real skin lol. Gonna mail in a card and get green liquid metal soon.

thank you very much. Kind of exciting to hear on both questions.

Not the best photo but it does show the skins somewhat, personally the Jungle Camo looks kinda neat.
But I will be sticking to my Gold Gnasher and IO/Green Liquid Lancer :P

to expand more on that picutre, follow the below link for a HIGH res BIG picture.

I will be honest though...it does seriously look like the guns in that picture is the same as the Jungle Digital...maybe slightly different

and if you compare it to this:

http://epicgames.com/community/wp-co...le-digital.jpg

very similar

Any word on a time frame for EPIC removing the timestamp?

[MikeCorruption]

I think the skins are amazing but at 320 points they are very pricey :/

[Mothership]

yeah the weapon skins all merged together looks totally wicked!

[DrOxycontin420]

i know we cant mention codes of any kind but the saying a picture speaks 1000 words comes to mind.

[French_Kid]

not cool!

although...I wish I had those cups lol

[KuShNsTieN]

Lol if he/she drunk all those, insta-diabetes

Visit your local Jack in a Box, buy a combo or large drink and get a chance to get the xbox green skin.

:( this looks really cool but I won't be able to get it because if I send a letter it would never arrive.

Also the Skin at the very top, is it in game and which one is it?

The title one? It's a bunch of skins merged together. I would kill to have it ingame though.

Edit: its gold omen, deadly cute, tiger stripe, and team metal

[JASEL84]

After January 1st when exclusive deal runs out.

They're trying but most likely nothing will come from it.

[xInsanexDeathxx]

Still wondering how to unlock the Flame Skin for the Retro Lancer. Epic didn't give out any information so far did they?

Nope. You just have to hope that you know someone who lives in those states.

So far no news on the flame retro. I think it still might be glitched since I've seen some people using it today.

[KingGotenW]

My flaming still has it (knock on wood). Someone posted a picture (from the strategy guide) about it being unlocked for playing a game the first week.
