Comment on Arc Raiders review - a smartly designed extraction shooter marred by one inexcusable decision

  There are no battle passes. You get “Decks” which are free and give you a few pages of cosmetics, or more currency to spend on other cosmetics in the “Store”. Idk it’s hard to explain but there’s no reason at all to spend anything besides the base game. Definitely not the deluxe version if you don’t care about cosmetics

    From the discord

    The Raider Deck is like a battlepass, where you can spend Cred in order to unlock cosmetic rewards. There are a number of rewards to unlock per page in order to progress to the next page. The number of pages in each Raider Deck may vary. At launch, the Raider Decks will be free, but you can expect a mix of paid and free Raider Decks as new ones are added.

    Raider decks are battle passes. The industry standard is that the one that comes with the game (or a paid expansion) is free while all others require money.

    And there’s no reason to spend money if you don’t care about cosmetics, but most people do care and the cosmetics are way overpriced.

      Cred is earned in game, not paid for.

        I misunderstood the other guy. Cred is earned in game, but cred can only be used to unlock stuff in the battlepass. When it comes to the actual in game store you can only use raider tokens and raider tokens (with the exception of the ones in the battle pass) have to be purchased as they can’t be earned in game.
