Mastering Monopoly GO's Swap Packs: A Comprehensive Guide
Monopoly GO's continuous updates introduce exciting features, and Swap Packs are no exception. These packs revolutionize sticker collection by letting you exchange unwanted stickers for potentially better ones. This guide explains how Swap Packs work and how to acquire more.
Updated January 14th, 2025: Swap Packs significantly reduce the frustration of duplicate stickers. The ability to "swap" or "redraw" stickers (up to three times per pack) enhances the chances of completing your collection. This updated guide includes additional methods for obtaining Swap Packs.
How Swap Packs Work
Swap Packs allow you to replace any sticker within the pack. This strategic element increases your odds of acquiring rarer, more valuable stickers, bringing you closer to a complete sticker album.
Each Swap Pack contains four stickers: typically one five-star, two four-star, and one three-star. Before claiming them, you can swap any for a random replacement of the same tier. This is ideal for eliminating duplicates and aiming for higher-tier stickers.
Swapping is random; there's no guarantee of improvement. However, it provides greater control over your sticker acquisition. Remember, trading duplicates with friends remains a viable option.
How to Get More Swap Packs
Initially a milestone reward in Monopoly GO's first Peg-E Sticker Drop, Swap Packs are now obtainable through various methods:
The Gold Vault
The Gold Vault, located in the Sticker for Rewards section, is the top-tier reward. While previously costing 1,000 Stars, Scopely has lowered the price to 700 Stars. Stars are earned by collecting duplicate stickers (all rarities contribute).
The Gold Vault has a 24-hour cooldown and contains:
- 500 Dice
- One Blue Sticker Pack (four stickers, one guaranteed 4-star)
- One Purple Sticker Pack (six stickers, one guaranteed 5-star)
- One Swap Pack
Minigames
Certain minigames—Peg-E games, Treasure Hunts, and Partner Events—occasionally award Swap Packs as milestone rewards. Actively participating in these minigames increases your chances of earning Swap Packs. Complete challenges and reach milestones to claim your rewards.
