"premium" currency can be acquired by just playing the game, there is no pay 2 win, most weapons are just sidegrades, even the goofiest of builds can be viable if you know how to use them. only negative is people like to join with their mic just permanently on so you can hear everything going on in your house. i don't want to hear your conversations with other people in your room or the sound of the game beaming from your loud speakers back into your mic.
