EA has a lengthy post detailing the new Battlefield Currency<\/a>, but purchases boil down to either looking unique or saving time on progression-based unlocks. In the former category, you can expect to see more gear and gun cosmetics pop up and also Elites: visually distinct characters with “a themed assortment of cosmetic items, character voice-overs, a Best Squad animation, and an exclusive Special Assignment that helps bring to life the story of the Elite and unlocks a signature melee weapon.”<\/p> DICE stresses that “Elites play like any other soldier and do not grant any type of gameplay advantage.” The studio hasn’t pinned down a release date yet, but they won’t be ready in time for April 4.<\/p>
As for Battlefield V<\/em>‘s time savers, they’re about what you’d expect. There will be Tier Catch-Ups for unlocking Chapter Reward items and also XP Boosts “allowing you to reach Chapter, Career, Weapon, Vehicle, or Class Rank at a faster pace.” It’s nothing particularly new to Battlefield <\/em>as a series.<\/p> Finally, Battlefield V <\/em>will round out its real-money purchases with bundles containing Battlefield Currency and various weapon skins. The first two of these packs will be available tomorrow.<\/p> “Looking ahead, we will continue to release new cosmetic items that can be obtained through direct progression, [the in-game currency] Company Coins, and\/or [the real-money] Battlefield Currency,” the studio said. “We want to give every player a chance to access new cosmetic items, whether they choose to spend real-world money or earn content through gameplay.”<\/p>
We haven’t seen a pricing breakdown yet, but assuming this stuff isn’t anything out of the ordinary, I feel like most players will promptly ignore the microtransactions and carry on playing and progressing like normal<\/em>. Speaking of, DICE has also shared the patch notes for the Firestorm-focused April update<\/a>.<\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":245451,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[135,1,97,101,99],"tags":[405,407,1180,246,496,171,109],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":10,"display_name":"Jordan
