Fans are upset, but not at all surprised, about a series of microtransactions added to Black Ops 4 following its initial release.

An active post on the r/Games Reddit has numerous fans voicing their complaints about the amount of microtransactions that have been placed in the game for cosmetic items following the release of Operation: First Strike, which is essentially Blackout’s first season. Still, many found this to be expected.

User Refractives gave a detailed breakdown of these various microtransactions, claiming that players will have to pay around $200 USD or grind for hundreds of hours in order to get all of the items out of the 200 base tiers in this Operation. They claim users have to put in about two in-game hours to advance to a new tier and get a single item, and players have no control over what they get out of Reserves (BO4’s equivalent of supply drops).Complaints about not being able to wear items outside of a full item set have been made, as well as a bevy of other issues being raised in relation to the game’s microtransactions. If this continues in a similar manner for future operations, fans may end up having to pay thousands of dollars, or play for thousands of hours, to get everything. All of this on top of the $60 base game and the $50 season pass has fans predictably annoyed.For more on Black Ops 4, check out our Black Market wiki , our Blackout guide and our Blackout tips and tricks
