I’ve noticed some people wearing cosmetic gear that can’t be found within any of the in-game stores, nor even listed as a locked item on the cosmetics UI.
Is there somewhere outside of the game that we can get extra cosmetics? Or are some on timed availability rotations within the in-game store?
The premium store rotates bi-weekly, with 3 pages, so premium cosmetic content stays up for 6 weeks or so. You are probably seeing stuff that cycled out.
It might be the free gear they gave to PC players? Or it could have been a weird rotation on the cash shop the the chem dogs set a couple months ago? Or potentially just the mod not working properly.
Unfortunately it’s hard to tell as getting a catalogue of all the cosmetics is hard atm.
I have seen people able to appear shirtless in normal games, and I don’t run for the drip or any of the cosmetic mods. Don’t know if it’s a bug or tos mod but either way I certainly don’t hate it.
Ah! Thank you. That must be it then. It would be nice if this was mentioned on the store page.
Another frustrating thing I’ve noticed with cosmetics is that the one item I really want in the UI that’s unlocked by penances… Is always the item that requires a private game. As sad as it sounds I don’t have anyone to play a private game with at the moment.
Why can’t all cosmetics just be unlocked with normal public game penances?? Why require private games?? Seems very unfair to me as those items are unreachable (and they look the best by a long shot).
It wasn’t always so! But some of the penances encouraged poor play or were simply a burden on teams, and so Fatshark added the private restriction.
Here is my advice: either hop on the Discord or play some games with randos and, when you and a group are really vibing (mission goes great, or you pull off a big clutch, and there’s some fun banter), ask them if they want to “Merge Striketeams” (available on the mission success screen) to help with a penance. Most people playing the game seem to be pretty chill, and I expect you’ll meet success (and maybe some new friends)!
