The game has been Pay to Win for a really long time but it really has gotten worse with the introduction of weapon parts. I could spend a bunch of money on the Chest Lottery and Set events and not get the weapons, instead I’ll get a bunch of parts and because I’m so close to completing a weapon or two it gets very tempting to spend more money on these events and I still may not be able to get the weapons in the events. It’s gambling, you spend money on portions of weapons and it tempts you to spend more cause you think you’re close to finishing it.

For a casual player they’d need to win first place in at most 4 matches to open the Novice Chest. It is also very difficult to participate in a Battle Pass without spending money and the worst part is they have one every month so if you want to keep up with that you will need to buy the 2400 tickets for $10 (price and currency varies depending on your country) every month.

For weapons that you’ve missed you can buy them for $5-$20 depending on how many parts you’re missing. I would not spend $5 on one weapon out of their 600+ that they have, let alone $20. Also, their deals are pretty bad especially for high leveled players. $99 for 6000 coins, because I’m level 55 when the Trader Van shows up the weapons cost 1370 coins. That $99 deal will not get me all the weapons from the Trader Van. Despite me paying $0.99 for the Ad Free thing I still get ads when I leave a match and when I tried to approach them about it they never answered. This was back in July, I have the screenshot with my receipt confirming I purchased it. I essentially got scammed.

One last thing that annoys me is this game has 600+ weapons and first off they are difficult to get without spending money and second off most people seem to stick with the same 3-4 category spam weapons. It’s an unpopular opinion I have but I greatly detest 3 category spamming, its even more painful when the person has the generic “cool/cute boy/girl” skins, the very detailed ones that have the fancy font. I don’t hate the players that spam, I hate the strategy because it seems to be the only way to play at this point and it makes other weapons obsolete.

My closing statement is that the Pixel Gun Company is incorrigible and despite claiming they changed they haven’t, they have just gotten better at hiding their shady dealings. In battle the winner is gonna be the person with the fatter wallet or has their parents credit card than the person who actually tries to be skillful.
