  • Available via sequential bundles for American Tokens and Doubloons during Early Access.

Event Pass: American & French Flair

  • Second progression line (2,500 Doubloons): West Virginia permanent camouflage (immediate), West Virginia '41 herself, 4x French Squadron containers, 1x Journey to the West Premium container, and the French Navy permanent camouflage for Le Fantasque..
