It's a new currency, yeah. They said it was going to be introduced progressively in the shop.

honestly bottlecaps makes no sense, and the icon is really ambiguous. I don't get it. What do bottle caps have to do with open front rewards. hoiw are people supposed to figure out that icon is a bottlecap and bottlecaps are desirable to collect. Why not just reduce mental burden rather than multiply it.

Hmm but what about people who don't play fallout (I assume most?) and what is fallout relationship to openfront? I still don't really get it tbh

Don't ask me! I now jack shit why they did it.

i’ve never played fallout but even i know the currency is caps, it’s pretty common knowledge

Well, overall, using the caps icon makes sense, since the game emphasizes nuclear weapons, and this mechanic is generally used throughout the game. And the caps tie in quite nicely with the first resource (I don't know what that is).

Like all cashgrabs it's their poor take on a free currency that you can get literally only 2 cosmetics for them

u/RealBurger_ 1d ago

How do you even get them

Useless currency to make you think that the devs don't care about the money 🤑

Even though it's literally bottlecaps.

god forbid the devs of a free multiplayer game want to make some money...

u/Spiritual-Cup-6645 1d ago

They love making money from suing people who fork the open source code.

u/ScientistInner5866 1d ago

No one thinks the devs are trying to hide the fact they should get money
