How aggressive is the in-game monetization?
None to speak of. You can earn the in game currency all in game, and they only thing you would use the "paid for currency" is for cosmetics, but again, you gain plenty of free cosmetics and even earn the currency required to buy the other ones.
I will say getting the currency is more difficult than say getting helldivers super credits, but it's still a fair rate and the game just came out. I expect more "packs" or ways to make the currency.
Is there even a way to get the currency? The battle pass doesn't count, that probably gives enough currency to buy the next battle pass when it releases.
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
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.
