Don’t play for a few weeks
Welp, update sucks as we've all found out. Platinum pulled a AAA studio move, and by that I mean they launched it with 0 playtesting, 0 thought, and 0 effort.
The game passes are still for sale despite the gear not being in, everyone's load out is wiped, gear wiped, and you got a meager amount of cash to rebuild it all.
Case in point, I was two stars with something like 5k cash, had the little bird and the chinook fully kitted out, rifles, snipers, gear. All of it gone. Instead now I only have 30k cash to rebuild all my load outs and gear. And the worst part is most of the stuff isn't even in game. The customization menu sucks, loadout menu sucks, and healing items now costing money is the stupidest thing.
So in short if your problems are like mine, give it a few weeks so the devs actually straighten out and fix this shit.
