Coming with the next Ghost Recon Wildlands update, Extended Ops, we will be introducing Battle Crates that are designed to offer you an additionnal and accessible way to complete your cosmetic customization experience, for both the Campaign and Ghost War modes. The Extended Ops update will be released for free before the end of the month for all platforms. Stay tuned for more details about the content of the update coming soon.
Throughout the development of the Battle Crates, we made sure the implementation is fair in terms of the items given to players, while also ensuring that they have zero impact on gameplay and player’s progression. Below you will find an F.A.Q. that will further detail the new store implementation.
How to get Battle Crates
All players will receive a gifted Spec Ops Crate and a gifted Ghost War Crate, which are redeemable on the Ubisoft Club. Battle Crates can then be purchased from the Store for 400 Store Credits, with each Battle Crate containing three items that you do not already own.
Battle Crates Content
Battle Crate is the name of a collection of crates specifically designed for the Campaign and co-op mode (Spec Ops Crate) as well as for the Ghost War mode (Ghost War Crate). Spec Ops Crates contain Epic Weapons, Exotic Weapons, Vehicles and tons of cosmetic items for you to enjoy even more in the whole Campaign mode.
Ghost War Crates contain Exotic Weapons (re-skinned versions of weapons already available in the game – no impact on the weapon stats), customization items and an exclusive new line of skins for your character, called Icons.
Overall, all the cosmetic items you get can be used in both the Campaign and Ghost War modes. More than 200 items are available through the Battle Crates experience. All the items are also purchasable in the store through the various pack offers, except for the Icon skins that are exclusive to the Ghost War Crates.

Never underestimate people's desire to make their characters look cool, even if no one else will see it.

Really? I understand the hate when it gives a player an advantage over another player but they did it right.
1)Cosmetic.
2)No Duplicate items.

I think a big way of reducing this sort of scheisse would be for the government to mandate that the prices for these things have to be listed in dollars and cents, no "credits" or whatever they want to call it to disguise the fact that you're spending real money. It's no different from casinos where you have to use their tokens or pay cards. Anything to keep from reminding you you're spending actual real money.

I know I should be bothered by this, but history tells me that if we complain loudly enough, they'll replace loot crates with something even worse. They will always find a way to get their money, and every way they've come up with over the years seems worse than the last...
