There was no way to guarantee the skin you wanted and on top of that if you got all 24 you had the opportunity to buy a heirloom (Rarer than legendary) axe for Bloodhound.
Turns out to buy all of it would run you $170 (incl the 2 free chests) which got people mad. So they reworked it so people could just buy the exact skin they wanted for 1800 coins (Which is on par for other shooters like fortnite) on certain days and specified what day during the event each skin would be available.
This didn't solve the base problem (Its an event shilling loot boxes you could only earn two of them) so the playerbase raged more and a respawn dev shit on someone so now all hell broke loose.
