'Battlefield V' Adds Microtransactions Called "Battlefield Currency"
"The balanced rock-paper-scissors gameplay that has always been the foundation of the Battlefield series isn't going anywhere," reads a new blog post. Player skill will continue to be paramount with the addition of Battlefield Currency, which gives players more ways to acquire items to customize their characters and arsenal in Battlefield V."
According to the aforementioned post, there's now two types of currency: Company Coin, which is earned via gameplay, and Battlefield Currency, which is acquired with cold-hard cash. The latter can be used to purchase elite sets, time savers, and cosmetic customization items inside the Armory. Elite sets and time savers are notably not in the game yet, but this will change in the future.
The former will be added in Chapter 3 and let you play as a distinct soldier in multiplayer modes. In other words, each "Elite" is a unique character with a name and background, and that comes with their own voice-overs, cosmetic items, etc. They don't provide any gameplay advantage. Meanwhile, the latter will come in the form of Tier Catch-Ups and XP Boosts, so pretty standard stuff.
Battlefield Currency will also let you now obtain new Epic items, as well as a number of cosmetic items that were previously locked behind Company Coin.
"Looking ahead, we will continue to release new cosmetic items that can be obtained through direct progression, Company Coins, and/or Battlefield Currency," writes DICE. "We want to give every player a chance to access new cosmetic items, whether they choose to spend real-world money or earn content through gameplay.
"In Battlefield V, every Chapter brings a new battlefield through additional maps, modes, challenges, and a stockpile of fresh gear. As your journey through World War 2 progresses, Battlefield Currency is intended to give you another path to get soldiers, weapons, and vehicles that look the way you want — and give you and your squad more ways to triumph through balanced rock-paper-scissors gameplay. We'll see you on the battlefield!"

Maze I wonder if there will be big games without microtransactions in the future, I mean probably not since cod and battlefield always have them
It's not like they were the first to do them. Major Triple A studios know that if they don't put microtransactions in their games, then their probably losing out on money.

**** these companies that implement this shit. I don't care if its cosmetic or not, stop cash grabbing. Lets unlock the extras by completing stuff in the game.
