Weapon X....any mods have an answer to this?

in General Discussion
Will there ever be other opportunities for players to acquire this champion? Or was he simply a one-time, whale-only trophy?

    More opportunities in the future.
    Maybe even in the next gifting crystal around December

    You could only get him in legends runs, why was it “whale only”? That’s absurd

    It was only 1, and that wasn't just any legends run...

    Meanwhile there is a mythic f2p, and I did my 7.2 legends unit positive. 🙄

    The amount of resources needed for achieving so high in Legends runs is so high, that it is hard to imagine obtaining this many units&resources without a major investment of real world money. It is possible for f2p, just unlikely imo
    It’s really not that much. How much do you think it requires?

    My apologies then, I originally thought Weapon X was given out for only 6.4 Legends.

    I was asked how high would I estimate the cost, so here it comes:
    6 quests with lets say 6 paths. 1 path takes full energy in Act 6 from my experience, so that is 36 refills.

    Quests 1-5 can be done realistically, on day one with 12 hours long run in idk, 1000-2000 units worth of revives and potions. For 30 paths, something between those numbers is imo realistic. Then there's GM, who would imo take a minimum of 200 units per run. I know ppl can solo him but mind you we are talking the day he was released. In sum it is 2200 units+36 refills. I tried to keep the amounts as low as possible.

    Possible for f2p as I said, but I think it is safe to assume that majority of those who did it were spenders.

    BUT this whole assumption is based on a wrong on my side, where I thought Weapon X was given only for 6.4 Legends. So please let me apologise myself for this mistake. I didn't inform myself well enough before commenting. My fault totally, no excuses

    But even assuming 6.4 only, how hard is it really to grind 2000-2500 units if you want to do a legends run? A couple months work?

    Honestly, the only real separation between spenders and ftp for a legend run is the 30% boosts, which are a lot harder to come by for ftp.

    He doesn’t spend very much, maybe a couple deals on big weekends. But rarely spends other then that.

    I’m not a whale by any means, but I still got Weapon X from the 7.2 Legends

    Don't forget the need of an iPhone...try doing a legends run on an android....if you don't have the budget to get an iphone/don't have access to one then you don't even have a realistic chance.

    Regardless, it would be nice to have a chance. I tried legends 7.1 and 7.2. Both nada. Wonder how close I was.

    This topic derailed. The question was regarding future possibilities of acquiring him.

    Yup. Just like SW Sigil - there must be another way to obtain him. Part of a special quest like Ultron in LOL?
  • ShadowstrikeShadowstrike Posts: 3,088 ★★★★★
    There have been no announcements regarding any future opportunities to acquire Weapon X. As we approach the holidays and gift-giving season, I would recommend everybody stay tuned to any announcements to see if things change.
  • WOLF_LINKWOLF_LINK Posts: 1,324 ★★★★
    There are tons of Champs which can be only obtained during special times of the year … as a Trophy. Goldpool, Platinpool, Thanos/Kang …

    So just deal with it that Weapon X was exclusive to Story Legends. Act 7.3 won‘t have a Legends Run, they canceled them because of too many Cheaters. There will be new opportunities to get Weapon X in the future.

    By the way … the ingame messages said that Sigil Scarlet will be exclusive to Sigil Shop for at least 6 months, afterwards there might be F2P options to get her.

    In total I’ve spent somewhere in the region of £250, the majority going to 6* sig stone offers on the last few July/cyber deals

    Calling legends whale only makes 0 sense, sure there’s some luck involved, you’re gonna struggle if you don’t have a ghost, but a max sig 5* ghost would be very reasonable for legends, and I got mythic in 7.1 with my r3 ghost only being at sig 40, and aa and Corvus being at r5 and r2 respectively
