GEAR TOKENS

In this update, we’re introducing gear tokens! These are pre-set loadouts for Extraction to allow you to quickly gear up without spending any EXA. There are three tiers of gear tokens: Enhanced, Rare, and Elite.

  • All players will get an Enhanced gear token every day that they login

  • VAIL Alliance subscribers get more daily gear tokens, depending on the subscription tier

  • You can purchase more gear tokens for a small amount of GEL

For now, these are set loadouts for each tier; but in the future we may tune these loadouts based on your feedback or even introduce random loadouts per tier.
