This is a bizarre decision and really needs to be changed, none of the Battle Pass levels give you credits. Giving premium currency is something all the best Battle Passes do, so 343 not doing it is baffling.

I am dumbfounded that the $60 campaign purchase doesn’t include a permanent battle pass. The value proposition is very poor for anyone wanting to play campaign.

Yeah that was one of the way other passes seem to work, which was kinda nice. I could play pay for one battlepass and never have to buy another one.
It’s a one-time purchase from what I gather. You only buy it once and you get access to all future seasons. Theres no need for premium currency on the BP then. My issue is the XP system and how its exclusively challenges that get you levels, instead of in-game performance.

You don’t get all future seasons for buying this pass. You still have to purchase each additional season pass separately.

The trade-off is that the Battle Passes in Infinite never expire. You buy one, and you get to keep it forever. The battle passes that other games have where you can just earn the currency to buy the next one, the trade-off there is the fact that those BPs are around for a limited time.

Are you sure? The marketing for the BP revolved entirely around it never expiring from what I remember. If they changed it without saying anything I’m going to be very annoyed, and so are the majority of players.

The not expiring part was that, when you bought a season’s pass, you could work on it even after that season ends.
You still will need to buy other seasons’ passes.

Well if that really is the case 343i need a serious think about how this is going to affect player reception. Especially with how misleading the marketing has been. I’m honestly both disappoined and unsurprised that moneysoft pulled a move like this. It’s pathetic
I swear 343 said that if you bought the campaign you’d get the premuim pass for free. I’ve pre-ordered the game but im still appearing as a ‘free’ user with only the free unlocks
Agreed. I’m literally supporting the game and I don’t feel like 343i are treating the fans well if there choosing to block content via credit system that can’t even earned in-game.

I’m shocked that someone wants premium currency?? It is toxic beyond what we already have and that’s the last thing that should be implemented.
It’s anti consumer. I agree the pass xp needs a rework but premium currency? The battle pass’s don’t expire which is actually good and consumer friendly not worth the price tag but let’s think about these things before we start shooting ourselves in the foot, please.
Edit: yeah I miss understood op, I just looked at the store it’s toxic af and premium currency is already there for whales but not earnable for f2p. Man I wish they didn’t make this multiplayer free…

I think the point is if they don’t give earnable credits to access the ‘premium’ store then a lot of the content is basically blocked. At the moment credits seems to be stuck behind irritating paywall…which means a lot of content is blocked and is not earnable. If they give players credits that can be earnt while purchasable then players can save up to unlock a ‘premium’ pack instead of wasting money on MT. Essentially means the whole F2P is sort of a lie since the player would end up paying more than what the gamer would have paid for the game.
They never said that. There are a subset of people who assumed it, and slowly the information just spread around as if it was fact.

In all honesty, except the “Exp/Progress rework” which i would agree with, for me this might be possible (maybe TMCC one even a bit better) the best Battlepass so far… however i’ve to admit, and that’s something which i generally dislike, i’m not very fond of having a premium shop as well. Is it really that hard to stick to one particular concept? I would be okay if it would be only the esports thing, but Fortnite and Warzone kinda traumatized me in that regar dlike seeing them asking each season for money, even make the grind so that it encourage to buy this skippable levels, but on top of that bloat even the Shop.
I agree on that, i find with the FOMO gone it’s only fair they ask money for each BP itself, however i also agree if it comes down to the Shop-Items. Maybe like other Games too, it would’ve been better if they sold Battlepasses directly for money, and the premium currency would be for shop/booster/levelskip only, and add them into bp so you can earn from shop from time to time.
I’ve played other FTP games and they offer in game currency in the pass. If there’s a premium item you want in the shop you’ll spend real money on it. If your a loyal fan they should treat you as such. Even off premium currency for doing stuff in campaign or something at that point.
I’m pretty surprised by this too. Perhaps it’s their counterpoint to not having an expiration date, I dunno. Either way, that was the reason I haven’t paid for it
i hope they add premium currency. esspecally giveing you just a bit over what you need to rebuy the pass. cause more than once i have got a gamepass than tried to free play after that and than a slick skin would drop that was cheep would buy it and at the end of the session i would have to buy more currency to get the next pass even tho it would of been free.
