What extraction shooter doesn't have MTX? This one? Other than Tarkov (which does) AR is the only one I've seen that isnt F2P.

    1. HD2 is not an extraction shooter.

    2. It does have MTX in the form of SUPER CREDITS and the stuff you can only buy with SC... You just can also earn SC for free if you grind hard enough.

    ARC has the exact same system by the way. It's the battle pass thing where you choose the things you want each tier, and that includes the credits (Raider Tokens I think is what they're called here). You can also buy them. They're used to unlock other battle passes (no others available at the moment besides the one free one) and also cosmetics.

    I don't think I would call HD2 an extraction shooter. I mean sure, you shoot things and try to extract, but for the same reason HD2 isn't a RPG just because you can roleplay or an RTS just because you need to make strategic decisions in real time, there's a lot more to these genres that HD2 doesn't include. Hell, technically you don't even need to extract, as the only thing successfully extracting gives you is any samples you find... completing the mission counts as a win regardless.
