![]() ![]() This is why Quake Champions will be free-to-play with a ‘champions pack’ upgrade option, appealing to both kinds of gamers. However, there are also other players who “want to have access to all the Champions” he says. He goes on to explain that some players simply want to jump into the game, and start playing. ![]() “There are a number of Quake players that just want to play their Quake… and they are familiar with the business model of previous games”. “At its core, is a free-to-play game with the option to buy the Champion Pack”, Willits said. Willits also said that Ranger and all his friends will be available as a permanent unlock for a fixed price. There is no word yet on how long the “renting” period will last, but it is just one of many questions that will be answered as the game nears its launch. A champion called Ranger will be available for free, forever, while other champions will be available to rent via in-game currency. Speaking to Polygon, Quake Champions Creative Director, Tim Willits, said that players who want can play single characters at a time. You can read more about the December update here and here.Quake Champions has finally received a pricing structure. Apparently the soon to be released arena shooter will be a free-to-play title, with a ‘for-pay’ option. The Champions Pack for the game (keep an eye on the coming sales) unlocks all characters present and future, and lets you focus on unlocking skins through play. Quake Champions is free-to-play, in early access, and can be Steam and via Bethesda’s own launcher. ![]() Check out how he works in the video below. There's the Quake 2-based Athena with her quirky grappling hook, and the Team Fortress and Weapons Factory-inspired Eisen, a cheerful German engineer who can drop sentry turrets. The past few months have been kind to Quake Champions, with the game going properly free-to-play, and recent updates adding a nostalgic pair of characters. It's a good step in the right direction, and should help people kit out their characters more to personal style, rather than rolling the dice and hoping for a particularly nice hat. Mostly, cosmetics will be unlocked through a linear reward chain, expanded by buying the battle pass, but if you already own something the game is trying to give you, you'll be given shards to pick something else instead. Shards, now being earned fresh through weekly challenges can be spent on unlocking specific cosmetic rewards or new characters. When the December Update launches (no date yet, but soon, obviously), all existing Favor and Shards - two currencies - will be automatically traded in for one last round of loot boxes. Pointlessly confusing, and the new system seems far simpler. And on top of all of that, there were multiple currencies. For those without the Champions Pack for the game (unlocking all characters present and future), these boxes could also contain extra characters, although that was rare. Some stuff is available exclusively in loot boxes of varying rarities and size which can drop as rewards, while others needed you to follow a series of Rune Book challenges for each character. Id explain it all in a development diary video below.įor a while now, Quake Champions's cosmetic unlock system has been a bit of a tangled mess. Players earn a chain of rewards each three-month season just by playing, or speed things up and earn shinier things by spending 1000 Platinum (around £8) on a seasonal Battle Pass. Outlined here, the free-to-play deathmatch (still technically in early access) will drop loot boxes this month in favour of a Fortnite and Rocket League-esque progression system. Twitchy old-school arena shooter Quake Champions is the latest competitive game to axe random rewards in favour of a more deterministic reward structure. ![]()
