it was, but it wasn’t only for gamepass. it was also for xbox players. people that bought the game upon release for xbox, they were granted 14,000 aquilas, which by the way is more than 1 set.
The ‘14k Aquilas’ controversy , an old one but one still generating annoyance.
To sum up: after the Xbox release, new Gamepass and Xbox players purchasing the game would receive a massive quantity of Aquilas in a promotion. This was seen as a very bad move by the PC player base, especially because it coincided with the most expensive cosmetic set yet (the Krieg sets) rotating in. The company attempted to douse the fire by releasing the ‘Vanguard pack’ - essentially just rejiggered cosmetics in the colors of the Moebian 21st, that some feel were going to be released to players anyway and were only reframed as for PC players due to the backlash against the Xbox player base getting free cosmetics.
This ended up getting revived once news of the PS5 port dropped, showing it’s still a problem that people complain about.
XBOX got 14.000 aquilas - Steam got nothing (Fatshark responded 23/01/2024)
