so recently i've been getting a lot of
questions on youtube and in my stream
about the progressive weapon skins in
pubg and that includes contraband crates
contraband coupons schematics polymer
scrap and all that stuff and i know this
can be really confusing especially for
new players coming into the game because
pub g is free to play so in this video
i'm gonna go through all this stuff and
do my best to explain it to you guys uh
just keep in mind that there is a lot of
information here it's not that bad once
you get into it it can be a little
confusing at first but i think you guys
will understand but there is just a lot
of information here so please bear with
me and also i just want to give you guys
a heads up in an fyi that this is pubg's
micro transaction system in the game uh
these skins do cost a lot of money to
get it's complete luck it's a little bit
of a gambling mechanic it's definitely
got its controversies and i just want to
say heads up and watch out how much
money you spend in this and that really
to level your skins up all the way you
almost need to spend money in this
system there are some free ways to get
crates and stuff like that but i don't
think you can level up your gun all the
way without spending money so just
please be aware of that and watch out
how much money spent obviously that's up
to you guys but just a heads up so let's
get into this so right here we're gonna
head on over to the hideout tab well
we're already here this is where all
this stuff uh kind of is at on the main
menu
and if you scroll you can see what
weapons are available and these are
available for a limited time so some of
these are going to be the progressive
weapon skins which unfortunately they
don't tell you here
but the m4 here the trick-or-treat is a
progressive weapon skin that was
available during halloween and is
available for 12 days
versus this is just a battle stat skin
called the barrel extinction skin which
just has the battlestat thing on the
side the tracker which tracks how many
kills you get with this weapon
so it's important to know what you're
buying first if you go over to the scrap
broker you can actually see what's
available so there's two progressive
weapon skins the mini yule slight the m4
and then three other battle stat weapons
and you can see some other stuff here
but let's just stick to this right now
so just to show you guys if you're not
familiar with progressive weapon skins
if you are you can skip past this this
is what they look like i have the m4 and
i'm still trying to level this up and
you know i've spent already a lot of
in-game currency on this and i'm not
very far
um so this is originally what it looks
like when you get it you get the
progressive trick or treat m4 and if you
were to make it to level
the final level level 10 this is what it
would look like so as you level this
thing up
you can actually go from this basic
cosmetic skin to upgrading this so it
has flames on the side it's got a cat on
the tack stock and a skeleton hand uh to
the battlestat
edition to having its own custom weapon
spectate uh or inspection animation
every time you get a kill if you make it
to level six your this animation or this
logo will pop up in the kill feed which
is pretty cool one of the uh highly
sought after features um then we have a
even more rare skin cosmetic level level
eight where there's things sticking off
the gun and then even level nine when
you kill somebody their death box if you
kill them with this gun will have this
skinned death box with the cat on top so
this is really cool you can see why
people want this but again this is very
hard to get the level the gun leveled up
this is something that you would
probably do over the course of like a
year or two and not something that you
do right away or you would literally
have to spend like hundreds if not
thousands of dollars trying to do this
so it really is crazy
so going back uh to the front section
here so this is where you would spend
your money on certain things so you'd
want to identify what gun you want to
get because you would try to earn that
gun before it goes away and then over
time you would try to level it up and if
you hit a you can see what else is
available in this package so in this
crate so the rarest thing would be the
progressive weapon skin because this is
like the legendary color it's like
orange and then everything that's purple
would be like epic
and you can see what else is available
here so we have different rare guns the
other really rare item in here was the
pumpkin pan and then you can also get
upgrade materials which you need to
upgrade the progressive weapon skin
including schematics which would be the
most rare items i guess would be
schematics and then the polymers are not
rare you get these anytime you scrap a
duplicate gun
so any gun if you open up crates in pubg
you'll definitely get duplicate guns
over time and then you just scrap them
and you really don't need to worry about
polymers those are like the lowest
currency in this hideout system but you
can see what's available and then if you
want to get a skin like this you would
purchase it so
we can go over here
since i'm trying to get the mini yule
you can buy one for
200 g coin which would be about two
dollars or you can buy 10
for it's supposed to be 2 000 g coin
which should be 20 but you get a 2
discount when you buy 10 and that's this
is what this would look like so when you
buy 10 uh which is the better deal but
again this is basically 20 every time
you do this or 18 you hold x and you are
able to open up 10 of these
and the the rare skins only pop up in
gold so if you don't receive anything
gold then you don't have a chance of
receiving uh that progressive weapon
skin so in this case there's gonna be no
progressive weapon skin these are all
gonna be
duplicates for me
so there you go and this includes 100
scraps so anytime you buy a crate you
actually buy a crate you will get scrap
if you get a free crate unfortunately
you do not get any scrap so if you buy
one crate you get 10 scrap and if you
buy 10 you get 100 okay so that was me
buying 10 crates if you go to the store
and go to items
each week you are able to buy 10 coupons
and with 10 coupons you can get one
crate so basically if you have enough bp
which you get from just playing the game
you get battle points every time you
finish a game and how long you survive
or if you win um you earn bp so you can
save that up and if you have enough you
can go here
hit buy now
make this 10 which costs 8 000 bp and
this will give you enough for one crate
on top of this when pubg does different
events or giveaways or even missions in
the game a lot of times the reward will
be for contraband coupons so there are
multiple ways to earn this sometimes
they give them away through twitch drops
or in pubg stream events or pubg
partners streams like myself so there
are ways to earn more of these and pubg
does give these out for free but
unfortunately if you go back to the
hideout tab
when you open a crate
with a free coupon
or 10 free coupons
you do not get any scraps so here's an
example of this we opened one up it's
silver
and i don't get any scrap here
and what's confusing here is that when
you salvage a duplicate weapon skin you
actually don't get scrap you only get
the polymers which i mentioned before
so we'll head over to salvage so i can
just show you guys this quickly if you
go here you can see i have a bunch of
duplicate silver plated tommy guns i'll
go and just select four of them
and then if we hold a to salvage you'll
see i'm only going to get a hundred and
two polymers this is just to show you
guys that salvaging something usually
just gives you polymers unless it's a
progressive weapon and then the only way
you can actually get scrap is by buying
the contraband coupons and you're gonna
need to are buying the contraband crates
this is something that's all gonna tie
in together in a minute so we're gonna
go back to the crates so what's the
point of all this well if you want a
weapon skin you need to pick out which
one you want so let's use the
progressive weapon skin because that's
what people are asking me about and
let's use the m4 because i have it so
say this is the skin that you want you
can spend money use free crates free
coupons to purchase this hopefully you
get it and then once you do you're going
to want to upgrade this so once you get
this weapon skin
you're going to want to start to
purchase other crates that aren't
progressive because check this out if
you go back to the details
the progressive the non-progressive
weapon skin crates so crates that don't
have the progressive weapons have the
chance for you to earn three schematics
at a time and the schematics are huge in
leveling up your skins so if we go back
to the weapon let's take a look at the
m4 now that we have more contacts with
this
and you can see that for me to go from
level three to level four on the bottom
here i'll try to zoom in because it's
kind of small i will need four
schematics and 3400 polymer so right now
you can see i literally have zero
schematics and i have almost 8 000
polymer so in the polymer front i could
upgrade it but i'm not even close on the
schematics and then to get to level five
i'm gonna need five more schematics and
then level six another five schematics
and then so on and so on you can see how
many schematics i'm going to need here
and i literally don't have any
so to get this
you should start using all of your
coupons and everything on these skins
because if you were to get three at a
time that would be extremely beneficial
for you
but the odds of getting a weapon skin or
the three scrap is very rare i've
literally never gotten the three scrap
and i've tried a bunch of times and i've
only got one progressive weapon skin so
this is where going back to the scrap
broker comes into play as you spend
physical money on the game you will
actually earn scrap
and here is where you can buy things
straight up
in this category without having the
gambling mechanic so if you were to save
up 3 000 scrap you could actually buy
one of the progressive weapon skins
straight up or you can actually buy 600
schematics
for
or excuse me one schematic for 600 scrap
points so right now i would actually
almost be able to buy three of them i
could buy two for for 1200 but i would
still need another two to level up the
m4
uh trick or treat skin so hopefully that
makes sense so the best bet again
is to go for the schematic save all that
stuff up and then save all your scrap
for as long as you can for any time that
you actually spend money in this game if
you're going to do that and then
eventually try to purchase what you need
here and i would probably hold off on
actually buying the skin straight up and
use this for the schematics because they
are that rare and again this goes back
to the point that i think this system is
something where you try to pick one gun
that you really are into or want to
upgrade you try to win that gun and then
over the course of the next year of you
playing pub g or whatever time you try
to see what other stuff you can get
lucky with maybe you get very lucky and
you keep opening those three schematics
and then you can eventually level up
that skin so again going back let's just
recap you have the contraband coupon
contraband crates some of these
are progressive weapon skins some of
them are not the ones that are not
progressive give you the chance to get
three schematics which you're really
gonna want when you get a progressive
weapon skin but again if you're you want
the cool ones you're gonna wanna go for
these first because they do go away
then we have the scrap broker where you
can see how much crap you saved up after
your real purchases and you can buy
additional things
we have the weapon which you'd only
really use to inspect your weapon and
see what you need to level up and then
here is where you can savage your
duplicate skins salvage your duplicate
skins but again this is kind of a ripoff
because you only get polymers unless
you're scrapping another progressive
weapon skin and if you're so lucky
enough to get multiple progressive
weapon skins out there then good for you
but again for me it has not happened yet
and it seems like it's pretty rare so
again i think if you just look at it
like that go after the progressive
weapon skin try to purchase the other
ones get schematics this kind of make a
little bit more sense and it's just a
little confusing with some of the words
that pubg used so hopefully i covered
everything you guys need to know in this
video uh hopefully it helped and if it
did please drop a like or consider

always thank you all for watching i'm
blitz5 and good luck with the contraband
crates don't spend too much money peace
