Season 1 Exclusive Weapons

Kimberly, DVA and Tesla activation windows.

ScopeModern Serum rollout

Quick read

Season 1 rolls out Exclusive Weapon opportunities over the season. The important distinction is activation versus later upgrading.

Facts

  • Check the active unlock notices for Kimberly, DVA and Tesla before planning how to use your materials.
  • Hero-specific activation shards/chests activate the weapon. Universal Exclusive Weapon Shards upgrade an already activated weapon.
  • The post-season Black Market may offer another route to activation materials. Check the current shop inventory before spending.

BlackBar Gaming recommends

  • Do not panic-spend solely because the first activation window is ending; evaluate the post-season path and the hero’s actual value.

Watch out

  • Universal upgrade shards are not a substitute for activation shards.
DETAILED GUIDE

How it works

DVA Exclusive Weapon

For DVA, distinguish the materials needed to activate a weapon from those used to upgrade it later:

  • hero-specific activation shards used to activate the weapon;
  • Universal Exclusive Weapon Shards used after activation;
  • later Black Market access that can create a F2P activation path in the modern post-season ecosystem.

Universal Exclusive Weapon Shards upgrade an already activated weapon; they do not replace hero-specific activation materials.

Tesla Exclusive Weapon guidance

Use the same activation distinction already taught for Kimberly and DVA:

  • hero-specific activation shards/chests activate the weapon;
  • Universal Exclusive Weapon Shards upgrade an already activated weapon;
  • do not use Universal upgrade shards in place of hero-specific activation materials.

If you miss the original activation window, check the post-season Black Market. Later activation items may appear depending on the shop rotation.

Exclusive Weapon significance

If you missed a weapon’s first unlock, check the current Black Market offers for Kimberly, DVA or Tesla activation shards.

Keep exact inventory/price tables dynamic/live-screen based because shop rotations can change.
