Ubisoft has confirmed that the Marketplace won't be opening its doors anytime soon. The decision stems from persistent security risks, including account theft and botting, which have threatened the stability of the player-driven economy. While we've been waiting for a safe way to trade skins, the focus has shifted toward protecting accounts from the black market and keeping the ecosystem stable.
The real shake-up arrives in Season 3 with a fundamental shift in how event packs work. Moving forward, new event collections will transition to R6 Credits only. This means the days of grinding Renown for the latest seasonal packs are coming to an end. M.U.T.E. Protocol and Rengoku will be the final opportunities to use Renown for new collection packs. To balance this, Ubisoft plans to bring back older collections with dual-currency options, ensuring Renown still has a purpose for veteran players looking to fill gaps in their inventory.
For those chasing the rarest gear, Masterpieces are becoming more accessible. Starting in Season 3, you will be able to purchase these high-tier items directly with R6 Credits. This removes the RNG barrier for the game's most prestigious cosmetics, though it leans heavily into the premium currency model. While these changes might sting for the F2P-minded crowd, they represent a clear path forward for the game's long-term monetization and security infrastructure.
