Currency can be earned in-game or purchased.

Cosmetic items and time savers for sale.

Unique “elite set” skins allows play as distinct soldiers.

While Battlefield V initially launched without microtransactions, its latest patch has now added them to the game. The Tides of War Chapter 3: Trial by Fire Update #2 patch has introduced what is known as “Battlefield Currency,” a form of in-game currency that can be purchased with real money. Players may also acquire this currency in the form of “Company Coin” by playing the game. EA claims that the microtransactions available will not affect gameplay, and are purely cosmetic:

The balanced rock-paper-scissors gameplay that has always been the foundation of the Battlefield series isn’t going anywhere. Player skill will continue to be paramount with the addition of Battlefield Currency, which gives players more ways to acquire items to customize their characters and arsenal in Battlefield™ V.

Currently players can purchase cosmetic items of all rarity levels through Battlefield Currency. In the future, so-called Elite Sets will become available, allowing players to play as distinct soldiers in multiplayer modes. “Each Elite is a unique character with a name and background. They consist of a themed assortment of cosmetic items, character voice overs, a Best Squad animation, and an exclusive Special Assignment that helps bring to life the story of the Elite and unlocks a signature melee weapon.”

Later down the line, time saving items will be purchasable with Battlefield Currency, including both tier catch-ups, and XP boosts. You can read the full breakdown of the new currency and its uses at the following link.
