Grasping the Concept of the Armory Pass

This recent feature lets players deepen their engagement with the game. By spending $16, gamers can activate the Armory Pass, which rewards them with Armory Credits upon gaining in-game experience. Credits accumulate from both competitive and casual play, allowing participants to access a range of unique items. Players have the flexibility to activate up to five Armory Passes, maximizing their access to rewards.

Unlocking Unique Rewards through Gameplay

Players can exchange their Armory Credits for exclusive items, a move that highlights commitment and skill as credits are only obtainable through gameplay. Here's a breakdown of the rewards:
