Greetings, survivor! So, you want to buy a progressive skin from the Black Market event! Here's some useful info for you to consider before making any purchases!
- If you spend 1200 G-Coin and level the Black Market pass to 30, you will not be able to purchase a prog skin in the shop.
- If you spend 3800 G-Coin and level the pass to 30, you will still not be able to purchase a single prog skin.
A prog skin costs 2000 Tokens. Regular survivor pass gives you 1600. Advanced will give you 1800 Tokens.
Finishing a survivor pass that you pay for is no longer enough to get a reward.
You are forced to spend around $100 in total to get 1 of the 4 progressive skins in offer, regardless if you pay $12 or $38 for the (regular or advanced) pass AND level them fully.
The alternative would be to level the pass to lvl 70 (every level beyond lvl 30 will net you 10 Tokens) if you spend $12 dollars on the normal one, in order to get enough tokens to buy 1 skin.
If you buy the advanced ($38) pass, then you "only" need to level your pass to 50.
Keep in mind that the pass will be live for 30 days only.
And if you fail to level the pass in 30 days AND pay to get extra tokens, the entire system / event disappears leaving you without any reward.

Now, here is some math for the Chroma skin recolors of the progressive skins in the workshop store:
- A single Chroma skin is 4500 Tokens
- Advanced pass is $38 and grants you 1800 Tokens WHEN you reach lvl 30 and complete all achievement missions
- You've bought the advanced pass and reached lvl 30, you now need 2700 Tokens to afford 1 Chroma skin
- For that you need to spend 42500 G-Coin, which is $382
- All this together amounts to a lovely $420
IF you, for some reason, do not use the 1800 Tokens from buying the advanced pass and finishing leveling it, you can outright buy a Chroma skin for 4500 Tokens by spending 71250 G-Coin, which will cost you $638.
To equip a Chroma skin you must own the respective progressive skin.
Here is a comparisson between some of the progressive skins as well as their Chroma skin versions:
Progressive Buzzkill SLR (Default)
Ultimate Chroma Buzzkill SLR ($638)
-
Progressive Gear Head Beryl (Default)
Quite an upgrade, these Ultimate Chroma skins, right?
But wait, theres more.
These are base lvl 1 skins. You know that you can upgrade your progressive skins to lvl 10, right? That'll cost you some great RNG luck and about $1500 more to do.
Good luck, survivor!
