Instead of copying Fortnite, why not copy Ghost Recon Breakpoint?
Erehwon’s Shop in GR Breakpoint provides plenty of cosmetics you can buy with in-game currency.
And there is a separate shop that offers a few packs and bundles you pay IRL money for.
Perhaps some items will have a daily or weekly discount price to keep things interesting?
This dual-shop would be perfect since if you miss out on a day, you don’t lose the ability to get an item for over a month or more.
Battle-Passes can still be a thing.
And perhaps take a page from Rainbow Six Siege where you can spend money on booster-packs to give you more in-game credits per match, with an added bonus further for every victory?
That is the ideal shop system.
The business still gets money and players don’t feel as cheated since they can grind for currency to trade for items like we could in Reach.
It would just be nice if there were just more options. There’s barely anything to buy because they only have a few items up at a time, most up for an entire week. So if you don’t like any of the offers, you have to wait an entire week for them to refresh. Maybe they just don’t have enough items ready to expand the store. That’s what it seems like to me.
No they have items.
I’ve seen the leaks.
For example, here are ALL the helmets in the game as of what dataminers were able to pull from the Insider events last year -

Not going to look at that but good to know. Just really strange that they are even drip feeding the content that will make them a lot of money.
Granted their shop is too slow.
But since they delayed Season 2 at launch, they have to make all the content last.
But in the image I posted there are
- 9 Mark VII helmets yet to be released
- Spartan Laurette’s helmet
- The Mark VI Gen-3 Armor Core
- The 5 Dieselpunk helmets for the next Fractures armor-core
- 4 Mark V Bravo helmets that have yet to be released.
And this is just what was datamined out of the Insider demos.
I honestly think they need even more than that. Maybe they should have multiple monthly items, weekly items and daily items in a overall larger shop. 343 really seems like they need help with this game to not only fix the issues, but also crank up the speed of fresh new content. It’s too bad that Microsoft didn’t acquire Activision Blizzard earlier. They could have brought one of those teams on as a support studio. Halo really needs one at this point.
That is pretty much what I am proposing.
A shop that has everything on display, new items added lets say monthly, with every week some items are discounted.

That would be a lot better than what we have and timely discounts would be nice too.
Ideally they’d make everything earn-able, but progression is somewhat slow. For example Battlefront 2 (EA) has two prices on every item. One price is premium currency, while the other is currency earned via gameplay. Generally you earn a couple hundred credits per match, roughly 250ish if I recall, while each skin is a few thousand, while special skins were 20k up to 80k.
Earning a skin would take a while, but it was achievable.

To be honest, I could just go for a catalogue style shop with regular discounts. Think Steam but for cosmetics.
