Despite the fact that XDefiant fans were expressing their dissatisfaction with the dull weapon skin designs, recent leaks have revealed that more vibrant skins are on the way. Nevertheless, players are now criticizing the reported pricing for these skins, which is significantly higher than the usual cost.
The material disclosed by user kran27_ suggests a small rise in the cost of bundles, leading to XDefiant players expressing their dissatisfaction on Reddit and accusing Ubisoft of using “deceptive tactics.”
A few individuals expressed their belief that the developers are taking advantage of players’ requests, calling it a “foul”move. Others were more direct, stating that the prices are “exorbitant.”As pointed out by Reddit user ‘Awkward.Tailor1690’, purchasing some skins would require spending more than $30 since they are priced at 2200 coins, which cannot be obtained by simply purchasing the $20 2000 coin bundle.
Other players who have commented on the OP’s post have highlighted that the pricing strategy is intentionally crafted to encourage users to continually spend more money in order to purchase the entire package, resulting in a never-ending cycle.
Despite players understanding that this is the necessary way to sustain the F2P model in these games, they remain dissatisfied with the pricing. One frustrated player stated, “The cost still seems excessively high to me. It should be reduced by half. However, I do recognize that it is a F2P game.”
In contrast, some argue that the cost is simply a reflection of the current trend in F2P FPS games: “Unfortunately, a significant number of individuals view $20 skins as a reasonable price.”
Despite featuring in-game purchases, XDefiant offers numerous opportunities for players to acquire free skins, including a refer-a-friend program that grants skins and boosters.
