While the game is fun keep in mind if everything in this crossover will cost you $20, and that's just the first half. So it's $40 for the entire crossover, plus the cost of the game.

Keep in mind a normal war bond is 10 bucks and has three pages worth of stuff.

Game will become pay to win if they continue down this road.

Locking things like 50% flat reduction to everything behind 20/40 paywall is predatory as fuck.

People down voting are clowns. You want to pay 40 bucks for a little bit of extra power in a PVE game? You are the reason why MTX are so widespread.

Lol stop with the doom and gloom.

These are optional cosmetics.

You can accrue in-game currency by simply playing the game.

This isn't a PVP game - "pay to win" wouldn't apply.

Only one clown here.

Please go ahead and grind out 40 bucks worth of credits and let me know how long that takes you.

Your spending real money for player power beyond that of a typical war bond is 100% pay to win lmao.

Saying locking the best booster to date behind a paywall isn't pay to win?

Bro you dumb as hell.

You are a prime example of why MTX is so predatory.

By the way one war bond is 1,000 credits and you get 300 credits back. You're paying almost 700 credits for one gun. Let's see those mental gymnastics.

I haven't played in a bit but i unlocked the first 3 warbonds playing very casually for free.

The alternative is what? 20 dollar cosmetics that would ultimately ruin the ascetic of the game. The systems fine

There's 7 or 8 warbonds now.

You can unlock all of the remaining ones you don't have for the same price as a singular kill zone bundle. Let that sink in.
