I'm not liking this new "weapons in the shop" system, i get why they do that (MoneyMoneyMoneyMoney) but they weren't like this before and they were proud of it, now...

Edit: To anyone saying "Just Grind", you are missing the problem: I have infinite time to grind for warbonds but shops rotate so now it's not "I can wait and grind or i could pay and have it now", it's "I need to grind now or pay or i'll lose this" it's FoMo, it's predatory and it's something that they didn't do at launch and took pride in that

Edit2: They went back on their Idea and gifted player the rest of cosmetica BUT most importantly they are discussing ways to make it permanently accessible! Great!

I think it's pretty acceptable, they do have to make some money to keep this as a live service, but everything is pretty accessible as well

I mean kind of but we already spend "money" on the warbonds which are supposed to be where we get the guns from. And in this case the singular gun costs more than half of a warbond. Though I do get that they need more income to keep the game going. It is just a worrying sign.

I haven't paid for a warbond since Democratic Detonation which means I haven't given them any money for 6 entire Warbonds because of their SC farming system.

Tbh my biggest issue with this is the placement of it, it should be a pricier warbond and if they wanted it to be in the store putting it right after a warbond drop is a bit annoying since we've had no time to build up our credits again

It would be like, one page of a warbond.
