Can I Hold Onto My Competitive Points for the New Galactic Weapon?

-

Hey everyone! I’m trying to figure out if the current competitive year ends on the same day as the new patch. I’m not really after the jade weapon, but I’m concerned about whether my competitive points will be converted to legacy points before I have a chance to grab the new galactic weapon. Does anyone know how this works? If my points turn into legacy before I can buy the galactic weapon, I might as well just go for the jade instead!

Nope, you won’t be able to use your current competitive points to buy any new galactic weapons. When the new Competitive Year kicks off, all your red points will switch to white (Legacy) points, and you’ll start fresh with zero red points. It’s a system designed to stop players from hoarding points to get the new stuff right away. So if you’re planning on snagging that galactic weapon, you’ll need to act fast before the switch!

It’s crazy how people still ask about this after it’s explained so many times! Guaranteed on the switch day there’ll be tons of posts complaining about lost points!

I totally get it, though! It feels unfair to restrict how we use our hard-earned points. If I save up, I should be able to buy whichever new item I want!
