    NGL, getting kinda tedious with the paid cosmetics edging away from looks only and into functional improvements beyond non-premium war bond access.

          You have to grind samples and requisition and medals but nobody’s complaining about those 🤷

        Well I dunno about others but I’m both playing less and when I do play, on higher difficulty missions people explore and open caches way less than in the early days.

        While technically not paywalled, for me personally it’s definitely going to end up being like that. Down the line that’s be fine for a live service game but it’s a 40€ purchase and it’s only been a few months, I’m not sure I’m a fan of this model in the long run.

        SC are SC, but “Premium War Bonds” are not purchasable via those and require actual cash, am I wrong?

          You can definitely use SCs that you find in-game to buy warbonds. I own all three of the currently-available premium warbonds, and I only paid real money for one of them. The other two I bought with SCs I picked up from missions, and I currently have another 1K SCs ready to buy the next one.

            Wait, ferreal? What am I missing? I thought I tried to buy the premium war bonds with SC and it sent me to the cash money menu. 😶

          Supercredits are what you use to buy the battle passes themselves. 1,000 a pop. At 119 hours in I have bought the two recent ones with super credits, but I bought the other one with real money on release.

          I have close to enough to buy the upcoming one as well with supercredits.

      Yeah but at least the war bonds give you 300 credits for the next war bond and honestly I don’t mind this little bit of grind since I’m an older gamer and my group don’t mind dropping to medium difficulty to just steam roll a win and catch up on life so grinding credits isn’t too bad.

      You pay for warbonds?

      I’m sitting on 2100 credts before this thing even dropped, and it gives 300 credits inside the warbond, so it’s a net cost of 700 credits. That’s like a week or two of casual play.
