JGOD Shows How Broken Weapon Trade Stations are In-Game

The Season Two Reloaded patch arrived last week bringing some incredible changes to the Rebirth Island.

The infamous map has been rebuilt and reworked, creating new points of interest with better textures and lighting. On top of that, the community could unlock a new feature called Weapon Trade Stations.

The Weapon Trade Station is a new economy feature that seems to be brand new in the battle royale system. We've seen stores, buy stations, or other ways to purchase items, but no one has created a trade system specifically for weapons.

Here's a complete list of Weapon Trade Station opportunities and their respective rewards:

Common Gun

• Another randomized Common Gun with a full clip (one magazine or clip, with no additional ammo)

Uncommon Gun

• Common Gun with a full clip
• One randomized Lethal Equipment
• One randomized Tactical Equipment

Rare Gun or Melee Weapon of Any Rarity

• Common Gun with a full clip (no extra clip)  
• Armor Satchel or Rare Field Upgrade
• Gas Mask

Epic Gun

• Uncommon Gun with a full clip and two extra clips
• Self Revive Kit
• $500 or $800
• Armor Satchel or Epic Kill Streak or Epic Field Upgrade

Legendary/Ultra/Heroic Gun

• Rare Gun with a full clip and two extra clips
• $800 or $1200
• A Legendary Killstreak
• A Legendary Field Upgrade or, in extremely rare cases, a Specialist Token
• One Random Lethal or Tactical equipment

Custom Gun

• Depending on the number of attachments you will receive a different trade from the Weapon Trade Station. The higher number, the higher the trade.

Fire Sale Deal

• Accepts any Weapon and gives great rewards. Players can only do this one time per Weapon Trade Station.
• Legendary Rarity Weapon with two extra magazines
• One Legendary Field Upgrade or one Legendary Killstreak
• One Self-Revive or Gas Mask or Armor Satchel or Durable Gas Mask (Very Low Drop %)
• One Lethal Equipment or $500 or $800
• One Tactical Equipment or $500 or $800

And based on the above clip from JGOD, you can use it fairly easily. In his example, if you're in quads, you can trade in two legendary weapons and have enough money for a loadout, essentially buying back your two weapons but you also receive all the extra gear.

Basically, your purchase is almost refunded immediately with other items. It's rather ridiculous and it will be interesting to see if this is working as intended or if the rewards for the trade-ins will be decreased.
