New: Bounty Store
We’re introducing a new way players can unlock skins just by playing Paladins! Starting with the release of Radiant Stars, players with a linked Hi-Rez account will unlock a new currency called Bounty Coins by completing daily quests. Bounty Coins can then be spent inside the Bounty Store – which will feature a limited quantity of a single skin that rotates every 72 hours.
Skins inside the Bounty Store will be priced on one of two ways:
- Increasing Price
- The Bounty Coin cost of the skin will start out low, and as players purchase the skin and the number available goes down, the price will increase.
- Decreasing Price
- The Bounty Coin cost of the skin will start out high, and each day the price will decrease.
Bounty Coin Acquisition
- Players will earn 2 Bounty Coins for each small reward Daily Quest completed
- Players will earn 3 Bounty Coins for each large reward Daily Quest completed
