    Interesting. I just figured out how to do it just checking a few things. Appears to be a bug. After you are in the top 30% on leaderboard you change your local device clock forward pass the expiration timeframe for that week. Afterward, it instantly applies the paint job to the Maurader and remains applied even after rolling the clock back to the current date/time.

    I never even thought about doing it on Trials and just wanted to see what would happen or how the player might have done it since I know they are legit. No undo button unfortunately. However, getting in the top 30% was definitely going to happen for me this week. The only other thing I've ever rolled the clock forward was due to my impatience on Candy Crush. I'm just curious to see someone beat my leaderboard slot on Sledridge Gorge with the Donkey for this week! XD

    It amazes me that you guys would intentionally use a glitch like this just to get a skin 5 days early. Is it worth the risk??

    Didn't plan on trying to get it as I knew I would after the leaderboard reset. I was just curious as to what effect it would have. Like I mentioned earlier, no undo button.
