All items in Ghost Recon Breakpoint are also for sale for real money

All items in the new game Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint are also for sale for real money. In addition, at a later point in the game’s life time savers such as XP boosters will also be available for real money.

Polygon, among others, reports that Ghost Recon Breakpoint, which has been available since last Friday, uses two different currencies: Skell Credits and Ghost Points. Items are bought with Skell Credits, but Skell Credits can be bought with Ghost Points and for Ghost Points you have to deposit euros again. An example calculation of Polygon comes out at a price of $ 4.99 for an expanded magazine.

Although at first glance this seems like with enough money you could finish the game in an hour, Ubisoft clarifies in a forum post that it does do a few things to prevent that. In PvP modes, everyone’s stats are matched so that no one stands out. In addition, the in-game shops only sell equipment that is a certain margin above the current equipment, so that big steps forward using real money is also not possible.

The game also had an early access period for players who pre-ordered. It started on October 1. At that time, players also found Skill Point bundles, XP Boosters, and parts for top-tier weapon upgrades in the shops. However, Ubisoft points out that it was a mistake to put it in the game at this point. These are intended to be introduced some time after release, when players step in later and want to quickly catch up with other players.

Ubisoft states in the forum post that it is committed to “ensuring that players who do not choose to participate in in-game purchases will not have a lesser gaming experience. Players can unlock skills and access a variety of items by simply playing the game.” to play”. The basic edition of the game costs 59.99 euros.
