News Wire: SSR Selector Compensation For Paid Skin Owners

Also, good news for Katya fans.

Following the announcement of major changes and discontinuations of various game outfits, information has been posted by official CN accounts detailing plans for compensation.

Purchase to Qualify

The compensation will be sent to all players who has made a purchase in one of the following categories before 10:AM on August 30 (UTC+8):

  1. Any limited-time outfit in the paid shop (includes outfit bundles, but not standalone weapon skin purchases and likely not the first-time-top-up bonus outfit Fenny - Lionheart: Delusional Starlet)
  2. Any outfit in the Choice Products shop:
    • Yao - Quiet Quitter: Enduring Valor
    • Fenny - Lionheart: Indomitable Charm
    • Fritia - Little Sunshine: Unfading Glow
    • Acacia - Redacted: Unbeatable Rank
  3. The Ultimate tier of any previous or current battlepass (the tier that includes the battlepass outfit)

Update: the third category has since been clarified to confirm that purchasing the current battlepass will also qualify you for compensation.

Qualifying players will receive a selector that can be redeemed for 60 Manifestation Fragments (enough to unlock a character) of any of the following operatives:

  • Lyfe - Wild Hunt
  • Fenny - Coronet
  • Fritia - Hush
  • Yao - Winter Solstice
  • Marian - Swift
  • Acacia - Kaguya
  • Chenxing - Ethereal Cloud
  • Haru - Absconditus
  • Mauxir - Shadow Ka
  • Tess - The Magician
  • Katya - Blue Bolt

This selector is expected to be distributed between August 30 to September 26, UTC+8.

Artist's rendering. Does not necessarily represent the experience of using the operative selector.

My personal recommendations are to grab Acacia - Kaguya or Mauxir - Shadow Ka if you don't have them already, with Tess - The Magician also being someone to consider if you have a developed account and want to compete for top Neural Simulation leaderboard times. If you have all three, pick whoever you want; the world's your oyster.

Catch Ya A Katya

As well, the bonus outfit for Katya - Blue Bolt has had the time period to qualify for receiving it extended.

Unfinalized design and subject to change

Before, only players who owned Katya - Blue Bolt prior to 10:AM on August 30, 2024 (UTC+8) would qualify to receive the bonus outfit. This has now been changed so that anyone who owns Katya - Blue Bolt prior to the expected outfit release date in version 2.4 would qualify.

With the current rerun schedule, this means that Katya could potentially have a rerun in version 2.2, providing players with a chance to obtain her and qualify to receive the bonus outfit, but no official confirmation on operative reruns have been made available yet.

Update: From communications with Seasun contacts, I've been told that there is a "high probability" that a Katya rerun banner will not occur within this time period.
