Ubisoft has opened the doors to the Rainbow Six Marketplace beta to a select few.
Longtime Rainbow Six Siege players may soon find they’re sitting on a gold mine. Today, Ubisoft kicked off the beta for the Rainbow Six Marketplace, a website that allows players to sell their unwanted cosmetics for R6 Credits. The marketplace is viewable by anyone, but Ubisoft is only allowing select beta testers to buy and sell items for now.
Those beta testers are wasting no time, either. On launch day, the marketplace shows thousands of listings for hundreds of distinct gun skins, headgears, outfits, and charms. Onlookers can’t see the details of individual transactions, but we can see how many total copies of items are for sale, what range of R6 Credits they’re being sold at, and how much the last one sold for. If these numbers are correct, players are already dropping $30, $60, and over $100 on rare cosmetics.
The most sought-after items so far include a line of « Glacier » gun skins that were only available during Year 1 Season 1 in early 2016. At the time of writing, the Glacier MP5 listing has 12 skins up for sale with the latest one selling for 20,000 R6 Credits, or approximately $125.
