Dear 343,
For Season 3, don’t spread out the 1,000 credits earned across 10 levels in the Battlepass.
Do it in two chunks of 500 credits and use the other slots for additional Challenge Swaps.
Sincerely,
Someone that wants to unlock the Capstones each week, but doesn’t like doing super hard challenges
(For real, no one was asking for you to NOT give us Challenge Swaps - we just wanted more cosmetics. You could’ve kept the same number of Challenge Swaps, and simply added a 3rd item to unlock in any given tier. Same goes for Event Passes. You can stil totally give us Challenge Swaps - just please ALSO give us the cosmetics as well.)

I don’t think the credits in the BP are a great solution, I feel credit bundles that are offered up as weekly ultimate rewards would have been a better play, that leaves more spots in the battle pass for cosmetics while freeing up the live team from making a bunch of emblems, visors, et cetera for ultimate rewards.

I mean really all they did was remove 10 swap/boost rewards and gave us the equivalent to them in credits.

They should fix the challenge system to dispense with the necessity for swaps outright. MCC’s universal challenges were so much better. I realize that it’s not going to happen, but it is a little frustrating.
Challenge Swaps feel like a tacit admission that 343i knew the challenge system as it exists in Infinite today was just a mess. It’s difficult to believe they didn’t plug some ridiculous and pretty universally undesirable challenges into the RNG mix given the existence of swaps as a commodity in the in-game economy. The number of super frustrating challenges has cooled off a bit and hopefully will continue to diminish, but it remains a point of frustration.
As for putting credits in the BP, I don’t really care one way or the other. Swaps are valuable given the current challenge system, but in a perfect world I’d probably just prefer cosmetics unlocks and XP boosts on every tier.

I don’t like the challenge swap system, but…
I also don’t like the fact that the in-game credits also took up slots that would have been filled by cosmetics that will now undoubtedly be valued at more than 100 Cr each in the shop. But I guess that’s their goal.
I would have preferred to earn 10 extra cosmetics and pay $10 for Season 3.

I’m happy to earn credits in the pass.
They just didn’t need to spread them out so much. And they didn’t need to reduce the swaps - just add more items into each tier! Or give us 120 tiers.
