Hello and happy new year,
after some time in Darktide and Vermintide 2, I think the prices of cosmetics should rather be like they are in Vermintide. Beside real money prices I mean that the cost of a bundle should be the sum of the parts (and not subliminal additional costs, because the sub-cosmetics are overall like 43% more expensive than as a bundle).
Base price of bundle like it is now (11,50$)
Change prices of sub-cosmetics accordingly (so a decrease around 43%)
optional: decrease bundle price after individual cosmetics are bought
Beside that it would be more in line with Vermintide 2 prices (a complete skin ~10,30$), it would also make more sense overall. While the, AFAIK, prices in Vermintide also do not change, one can buy all parts of the bundle individually anyway - changing the prices in Darktide would bring it on par.
Cheers
It’s definitely intentional. There’s a few pieces of low effort gear in every pack and at least one that’s just a recolour, and the only way they will sell is with the bundle price. That’s why they have to make sure that the 2 pieces in the bundle that they spent all the effort on are more expensive to buy separately. Otherwise it would cost them a lot of extra work (and money) to make every piece good.
I reckon they decide how they price individual guns by usage stats. I wouldn’t put it past fatshark to give extra skins with guns that are liked by the community that are just as expensive as entire bundles.
After all, you can’t have a predatory MTX shop without predatory tactics
