  2. Pretty lame they won’t offer bounty equipment as a reward.

    1. Yeah, you were supposed to get bounty equipment for Battle Pass but they did away with that.

  4. Shut your filthy traps. Bounty equipment is for the elite, so they can be more elite. Stay in the gutter and feed them.

    1. Yeah, that’s my concern. When bounty equipment was as good as bond equipment it didn’t really matter and when bounty equipment wasn’t as good as bond equipment it didn’t really matter but now there’s desirable equipment that’s only available as bounty equipment that’s now behind a paywall and that’s a problem. I don’t mind spending some money on WOT because dollar for dollar it’s one of the best entertainment investments I’ve made but nothing should be behind paywalls except cosmetics and convenience. I don’t mind a grind but there should at least be a path to get there.
