Re: Dlc weapons and unlocking!
@loka8890 Just some food for thought:
1. The shortcut kits actually unlock only the guns from the base game. No DLC or lootcrate weapons are included in those kits. So they just eliminate the grind for normal (base game) weapons and have nothing to do with the DLC weapons.
2. The Premium Pass adds more than weapons. It adds maps and elite classes, too.
3. The Premium Pass owners have to work to unlock the DLC weapons. There are certain requirements to unlock them, so there is a fair amount of work involved. Yes, some are easier to unlock, while other are harder
4. There are quite a few weapons in the base game that are still better than anything that the DLC can offer (BAR Trench comes into mind, but there are plenty others).
5. The Premium Pass, right now is under 100 RON (yup, tough, i am from the country that is using RON). In the Winter sales, is even cheaper (15euro/15USD/75RON in the Origin store, right now). The offer is available until 12th of this month.
6. Your DLC weapons will not be instantly unlocked, if you decide to buy the Premium Pass. The maps will, though, along with the new elite classes. One particular weapon will still be unavailable, unless you own the Collector's Edtition. It might be added to the puzzle pieces from the lootcrates later, though (the M1911 Doughboy pistol)
7. The skins are earned from lootcrates, just like are for the standard owners.
So - shortcut kits only unlock the weapons from the base game (and reaching the rank 10 for each class and the requirement for all the base game weapons is rather easy). Premium Pass offers new maps, elite classes and weapons. And while the first two are available from the start, the weapons will be unlocked only if you meet certain requirements (like kill 5 enemies with a tripwire bomb and kill an enemy x times with a certain weapon/do x kills in a round - there are others, too many to mention, but there are always at least one or two requirements to be met when you unlock the DLC weapons)
