Anyone else think the roster of weapons is a bit small?
Having unlocked them all, levelled up the ones I thought were decent, then compared them, I've pretty much concluded that the starter weapons are often best. Now the whole thing about unlocking weapons and levelling them seems like a time sink, just something designed to make you spent more time playing the game.
Also I have no idea how the battle pass works.
My understanding is you choose a path to work towards unlocks.
Expect I don't know how to choose a path... It's all a bit confusing.
I'm also talking about the free battle pass. I'm not paying anything extra.
When you do weekly challenges you get battlepass points. Battlepass points unlock stuff on the battlepass. If you're not paying (I don't either) then most of the things you unlock you don't get anyway so it's a massive waste of time. The ones that matter are weapon unlocks, the occasional xp booster or coins is fine I guess but not important.
On the battlepass screen you can see paths at the bottom, iirc everyone starts with the noob path, then it branches out into 4 paths, you have to do them all but you can choose which order to do them in. You might do this if one path contains a weapon unlock you want, not all paths contain things you care about.
You have some challenge rerolls, so if you get a challenge you won't complete then you can reroll it. Not all challenges are equal point rewards. Each week there's a bonus challenge which is unlocked by doing most of the other challenges in that week, and it's worth good points so always do that, if you don't do the bonus challenge you lose it.
That's how season 1 worked anyway. I'd say overall it wasn't much fun because the challenges were a boring grind and I don't use the unlocked weapons anyway because I think there are better alternatives, and usually it's the first or second weapon you get per class. Season 1 is about to end so if you're just starting out then don't even bother. Wait for season 2 which is due 17th Feb.
