Introduce Free Earnable Cosmetics and Reduce Skin Bundle Prices

Please consider reducing the price of skin bundles, as well as adding in well-designed cosmetics that can be unlocked by completing challenges within the game. You could even offer a paid reskin of the challenge-based item, so people who do want a shortcut to a similar looking cosmetic can pay to do so. The recolor would denote how it was obtained. To add some sentiment behind this, today a large claim was made by Ian to make FPS gaming great again. One of the plagues we've experienced throughout the years are the rampant microtransactions and reduction of quality from free offerings. Ian said he didn't want to play the same call of duty every year, but call of duty has skins like the gold, diamond, and dark matter skin lines. All of those are highly sought after in the community, all are free to earn (besides your time). Yet they still turn a tidy profit from their skin mtx. Splitgate has minimal free progression rewards in terms of cosmetics, and it will eventually cause players to turn away that may otherwise buy a battlepass or a (reasonably priced) skin bundle eventually. After about 50 hours, there will be nothing left for them to grind for other than ranked (when it comes out). I'm no financial expert, but I've been playing FPS games since I played Halo: CE as an 8 year old. This game has so much promise, but the marketing direction is going to stunt the potential progress it could have. If we want to make FPS games great again, let's put our money where our mouth is and find a way to bring cool cosmetics to F2P through playing the game. Let's reimagine how the store could look like instead of an overinflated, FOMO-based layout that has been utilized by plenty of AAA greedy companies, some of whom were even dragged in the Launch Announcement at GamesFest today. I hope this gets read and not thrown to the wayside. Thank you for your time.

Update: Ian put out a video today saying they are adding weapon challenge skins soon, as well as cut the price of bundles by 50%. This is definitely a great step forward. I would still like to have the team consider changing up either the current store to something that isn't a weekly rotation, and/or consider following Marvel Rival's footsteps in allowing players to keep their past Battle Passes, even if they didn't complete it while it was the primary pass. This allows another revenue stream for 1047 in that some folks may sign on just to buy the battle pass, even if they aren't actively playing, and can unlock the items later. Food for thought, and thank you for the actions taken so far!

I'll mark this card as closed once I see the free cosmetics added.

There really aren't enough earnable skins. Every event has been limited to the same item rewards: title, weapon charm, weapon skin, banner, spray and emote.

At least in the original game we had chance to get a nice skin by completing challenges and the daily login for the weekly drop and Splitcoin.

Having some of the best ('Mythic' rarity designs with animations, particle effects around the cosmetic, etc.) looking Cosmetics only being obtainable by doing In-Game Challenges is one of the best ways to keep players engaged in playing the game to reach those goals so that they can flex/show off their very rare Cosmetics that can't be purchased but can only be earned by doing a very difficult challenge.

A week long event to unlock cosmetics (Similar to the way it was done in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III) would be nice as well. EX: - Earn x amount of xp this week (8-10 items to earn with last item being the Legendary/Mythic cosmetic - Complete different challenges (8-10 items to earn with the 9-11th item being the Legendary/Mythic Cosmetic that can only be earned when all of that event's challenges have been completed.

More Variety of Weapon Mastering cosmetics/camos is good to have as well.
