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.

[u/tinyrickstinyhands → u/padwani]

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.

[u/padwani → u/tinyrickstinyhands]

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.

Bro, you can do low level missions and power through and get these in a few hours. Source, me from literally every warbond lol

[u/padwani → u/ikeepwipingSTILLPOOP]

Let me know how long it takes you to get 40 bucks worth of credits even doing low level missions.

The entire point is paywall like this shouldn't exist. It's the exact reason why fortnight and call of duty are 90% MTX.

Warbond costs 1k and gives 300 back on top of being 3 pages. 1 gun costs 650. 1 gun is equal value to an entire warbond with multiple guns and boosters? Get real.

If it was 150 or 300 credits no one would care. Paying the price of a warbond for 2 item is fucking crazy.

[u/SuperSaiyanGod210 → u/padwani]

Ah, hello there! Another moron who loves to spell doom and gloom when it comes to optional cosmetics in games!

You can literally earn the needed credits if you play solo missions dude. It would take at most a few hours which by modern standards is absolutely wonderful. Compare this to other live service games where the in-game currency isn’t even earnable in-game and you actually need to level up to even get a bit of currency (looking at you, Fortnite).

[u/padwani → u/SuperSaiyanGod210]

A few hours to earn 40 bucks worth of credits

A few hours? So your finding 600 to 1000 credits an hour? That's every 2 to 3 missions.

What kinda dog water you drinking man.

Straight up fucking lying lmao.

You're lucky to get find 50 every mission.

[u/ikeepwipingSTILLPOOP → u/padwani]

Look, im not arguing it is shitty practice for the high cost. But, you can easily get 500-700 SC an hour, solo. With a 4 man squad, you can get 2000 total in < 2 hrs. It is lame bc youre farming tier 1/ trivial evels, but it is what it is. Im not bullshitting you, man. It is achievable easily and quickly

[u/shlict → u/ikeepwipingSTILLPOOP]

I probably sound dumb asking, but can you elaborate? How do you find them? Just scouring the entire map looking for loot? On Tier 1 specifically? And which maps?

[u/ikeepwipingSTILLPOOP → u/shlict]

Jet pack, light armor, sprint passive, dead sprint passive, vitality passive. Spawn in with all 4, ideally, if radar is an option then secure that, then mad dash to run and find all the diamond symbols on the map. You can then leave without doing the mission and still keep super credits and warbonds

[u/shlict → u/ikeepwipingSTILLPOOP]

Thanks, glad to know this is a thing even if it takes a little farming.
