we actually did it. they listened to us and are changing the system so we can earn those packs instead of just buying them. thanks for sticking with me while we pushed for this.

LET US EARN OUR OUTBREAK PACKS!
To the point. Most of us who were excited for this update, find the amount of micro-transactions for the outbreak skins to be completely unfair and pointless. Subtracting the 4 outbreak packs most players will be receiving, it would cost approximately 13800 R6 credits for 46 packs. ($132.99 CAD/ $103.26 US for the largest currency pack)
This makes the limited time zombie shooter almost pointless, beyond it's initial immersive game-play. After the first few rounds of overwhelming zombie hordes, I feel it quickly becoming stale as I flip my mouse over to some casual. I even questioned what the point of the limited time was since I wont be grinding for anything.
It sucks! When I originally heard about the expected update, I thought there would be more of a reason to play it over and over again, and I'm sure I'm not alone. The option of grinding for those aesthetic skins to deck out your operator; and proof of your hardened zombie survival skills pushing through horde after horde. Seems it would give the update more of a purpose other than a grand entrance with an edge for our two new operators. Instead, it simply shows who's wallet is the fattest..
I like the feel and hard work that was put into the outbreak update, as limited as the content may be. They did a pretty good job with the fine tuning, animations, and graphical appeal. But I feel it was all a waste of great potential; it's still early enough to fix this problem, if their dedicated player base matters to them more than the money in their pockets.
CONCLUSION:
The best course of action would obviously be to treat it exactly like the alpha packs. Sure players can pay for them if they want.. I don't see a problem with that, but give the people who want to grind, or can't afford the skins the option to put the update to good use and earn the skins you did such a fantastic job designing.

I've been on this game since launch and this is the single worst thing to do to the player base. I've spent hours to unlock everything in the game yet now I'm forced into a pay wall for new items. That is horribly unfair to the player base.
I agree with you about the outbreak packs, there is not worth playing outbreak, though it is very fun, just for 400 renown when you can have more fun in a casual match and maybe get an alpha pack. Meanwhile you play a whole outbreak mission that takes alot of time and you only get about 400 renown
It sucks for experienced or long time players who only get 4 outbreak packs but still want the new gear. We'd be more than happy to grind for it but there's no incentive to play other than to do the Ubisoft club challenges.
Some people might say skins are optional, which they are, but it's a bit rediculous to have a system that works perfectly fine, and then ruin it with lootboxes. I'd much rather have been able to purchase the skins that i wanted than have to gamble 1/50 for a chance to get the exact item i wanted.
$20 for 50 skins, sure. Over $100CAD for 50 skins? The Complete Edition for the game is $170, and it's 3 years old. What is this ridiculous math and pricing?
why
Didn't they give away the Ash Elite Skin as an apology for making the Outbreak Packs paid exclusives? I was under the impression that they were doubling back on that decision and making them obtainable through gameplay.

I would rather grind for the skins instead of buying them, plus the whole loot box system is questionable. It's illegal to gamble here in Texas and I'm fairly certain this is a form of gambling since I'm paying for a chance to get some items.
