I bought all the packs now and it's indeed the case that the single items are the same as in the packs, so you only need the 5 packages.
Here is a little review for everything since it's a pretty mixed bag.
You have the packages of:
- Weapon Skins
- Trinklets
- Face Colors
- Body Skins
- Badges
The one I can definitely recommend is the weapon skin pack, because that's what gives you the best value.
Every pack has 4 items like this has 4 weapon skins, but the thing that makes it such a good package is the fact that you have these skins for every single weapon unlocked, which isn't the case when you buy skins in-game, there you only unlock them for the one weapon for that you bought it for.
Then as second best package I would recommend the body skins, since you get 4 skins for the upper part of the body and 4 for the pants to have a whole outfit and you can mix them around. But it's still just recolors, no new clothes.
Then I would say the trinklets, again 4, 3 Smiley's with a slightly different emotion and the poop emoticon as only different trinklet, which is pretty awesome. The other 3 are okay and it's a bit lame that they are so similar but, it's ok for 1,99€, like I said, everything is a huge mixed bag.
Then on place 4 I would say the face paints.
The clown face paint is pretty cool, the rest again just ok. I have pictures for everything but forgot 2 face paints, maybe I will post them tomorrow but these 2 are pretty lame and not very good to see anyway.
And on place 5, the badges and these are absolute garbage. 4 little tiny white pictures that you get automatically placed on your body.
Way to small, way to simple and blurry, that's not even worth 10 cents, that almost feels like a scam from the developers. That they ask for money for this is kinda nuts. It's so cheap, it kinda makes me angry. :/ (I really don't like them, sorry)
All 5 packages will cost 12,99€ together.
Weapon, body and facepaints packages cost 2,99€ each, the badges and trinklets 1,99€.
I wanted to support them and for that, it was worth it to buy, but quality wise..... for skins that you have to buy with real money and not get for free.... a little bit disappointing and just way to simple. Such simple skins should get added for free in patches and events like in Rainbow Six and they should only sell stuff for real money when they look really special and "kinda" expensive, like when you can see that they really put work into this and not just generated a new camo pallette in 3 minutes and called it a day. But hey, maybe it gets better next time. Price for them, minus the badges, is still kinda ok tho and fair. There is a lot of room for improvement and I just hope it will get a bit more special and better next time.
