![]() A big spender is still going to hit a dead end against the multiple gameplay requirements to get at the better stuff (higher ranks of the Star Cards, and especially the weapons arsenal, all of which is gated by an in-game milestone).Īnd a pure grinder is still forced to use the game’s loot crate system, which spits out bonuses entirely at random, to advance their characters and improve their loadouts. The point of this is there is no straight line for either path: paying to win, or playing to advance. That was plenty to buy more loot boxes, or multiple hero characters under the new pricing structure. With that much money applied to an optimized crate-unlocking strategy, I was able to give every character class and vehicle every “Star Card” applicable to it and still bank about 27,000 in Credits, the other in-game currency that you can’t buy outright. The most expensive loot crate in this game costs 200 Crystals. What’s more interesting is how the game’s complicated economy and prerequisites work together, which is something really only seen at scale - like buying up 12,000 “Crystals,” the in-game currency bought for real money. Though loot crates occasionally return credits, it takes time and money to see it happen frequently. And to answer the more pertinent question on everyone’s mind, no, you cannot directly buy any of the six unlockable heroes with a straight cash exchange. Well, here is what I learned anyway: The $90 I spent (it’s $100 if you don’t have an EA Access subscription) isn’t enough to unlock everything in the game - not that I expected it would be. Then, about two hours into all that unpacking, Electronic Arts dropped the unlock prices on its hero players, the thing that had caused so much antagonism over the weekend.
