When will we be able to scrap are cards for gold coins. I know many people have a bunch of duplicate of cards they already have max out. It would help the game progress futher.

Soon I hope, the duplicates annoy the hell out of me.

Yeah, hopefully these things are bundled with Op6.
I have like 50 cards for level 6 dug in for veteran. Thatâs ridiculous.
50 duplicates for a common? âRookie numbersâ.
Really though, some of us have over 50 duplicates of some Legendaries.
That was the only one I knew off of the top of my head. I know some of my other classes have an unacceptable amount of duplicates.

Oh man, just noticed this question was asked on the devstream reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/GearsOfWar/comments/kwmuee/january_14th_dev_stream/
TC has answered âThis was addressed on a stream before, the answer then was âUnlikely, because of the level of work it would take, but that is not a ânoâ.ââ on a direct question about scrapping duplicates. This certainly sucks. Seems unbelievable, but it looks like TC never had a plan of facilitating scrapping of duplicates. This is something we may need to make some noise about.
Some of us are even in swimming in the hundreds - for multiple classes.
He really said that� Oh boy⌠curious how they managed to accomplish it in Gears 4 then.

I think this wonât happen. Iâm sitting on thousands of duplicates as many other people are.
If they let us scrap them we would be able to buy everything and TC would gain nothing from this.
If something like the scraping is introduced we would get very little for our duplicates or TC will introduce lvl 7 cards. DONâT PUT THIS PAST THEM!
Remember this game is all about the GRIND.
Also they mentioned somewhen after launch that they didnât implement it due to people complaining in Gears 4 when level 6 cards were introduced, that people have already scrapped their duplicates and were therefore annoyed.
However what is a bit annoying is when TC keeps implementing new cards. However there is a bunch of ways at least to get to coins and additional card drops now (tour, dailies, featured, medals) but itâs still based on RNG in the end. I still remember the endless grind for Paduk (now Nomad) to max out all 7 Epic cards - now Blademaster is also sitting on 7 Epic cardsâŚ
At least the new Legendary cards are the same price as the Epic cards if you want to buy them.
Best way to solve it in my opinion would be that the duplicate cards were automaticallly scrapped (or I guess âcoinedâ), that way people also couldnât complain if a new level 7 were to be introduced. Even if we would only get a little bit of coins out of it, still better than sitting on hundreds of unused cards.

Gears 5 was missing many things at its launch that Gears 4 had and that should have been there for 5s launch(and that I wonât name here because it is too many). But I guess this is just what we got for it being rushed out and/or not thought through in what state and with what features the game would launch.

Well youâre right about that, thereâs something about this game that both surprises me and disappoints all at once⌠

I would take 20 coins for a legendary at this point. Iâd still get a fair bit of coins from that.
Agreed, I donât think anyone expected to make a fortune from duplicates but if we at least got something for them it would be possible to feel something else than disappointment after finishing a horde match and getting only unusable cards as reward.

Interesting but not surprising.
Couple of things here. I was one of the complainers from Gears 4. I scrapped all duplicates past level 5 to help max all skills. Then TC introduced level 6 skills. That was kind of dirty IMHO. The economy of scrap was horrible. Had I known, Iâd have waited.
Since this was a day 1 feature in Gears 4, itâs disappointing that TC doesnât seem to be interested or able to bring a scrapping system into Gears 5.
If the devs really canât make it happen, and itâs a big thing to most PVE players, then TC should have the Gears franchise stripped from them after Gears 6.
I donât see it happening prior to that because itâs undoubtedly under production now. After that, TC should be relegated to producing Facebook games or something else they can actually handle.
Iâve been a supporter while criticizing some bad moves over the past 4-5 years. Now itâs crystal clear they are inept and unworthy.

WTF? So the useless duplicates counter on level 6 skills is just there to taunt us forever over our wasted time? Mind-blowing that they are planning on just leaving those duplicates stacking up infinitely for no purpose at all. And their reasoning is that itâs âtoo hardâ to add something that shouldâve been there at launch.

Could either of you confirm if this is the case? Iâve heard different things about plans to enable players to scrap/cash in excess skill cards. Will we or wonât we?

They never answer they just want us to invest more time and grind to keep the game aliveâŚ
