Alpha Packs
Alpha Packs are designed as a way to give you free cosmetics, just for playing the game! Alpha Packs will also offer us an exciting opportunity to provide players with a second chance to pick up limited time cosmetics, such as the Black Ice Weapon Skin series.
Acquisition
Players will be able to obtain Alpha Packs through two methods, chance rolls after winning a match, or through the shop.
Chance
When you complete a match, your Chance rating increases slightly more for a win than it will for a loss. Year 2 Pass holders will have a small amount of additional Chance added. The most substantial gain in Chance will be from winning and losing matches.
Winning
You are able to earn Alpha Packs through winning matches.
After emerging victorious from your latest match, you are taken to the Loot screen. Here, your total Chance is taken into account, and you roll to win an Alpha Pack. If the roll lands within your Chance rating, you will be presented with an Alpha Pack! Should the roll land outside of your Chance rating, you will have the appropriate amount of Chance added to your total for the next time you win a match.
Once you have won an Alpha Pack, your total Chance is reset to zero. Your Chance that is granted for winning the match will then be added after the reset, granting you a small amount of Chance so you are able to start working towards your next Alpha Pack!
Shop
You will be able to purchase an Alpha Pack for 5,000 Renown. The Year 2 Pass VIP discount will apply to Alpha Pack purchases.
Contents
The loot found in the Alpha Pack will change over time. We will have over 1,000 available items at launch, and will have even more content being added/removed as we move forward. These items include Weapon Charms, Weapon Skins, Headgear, as well as over 30 Legendary items that can only be acquired through Alpha Packs!
Rarity
All cosmetic items have been assigned a rarity:
- Common
- Uncommon
- Rare
- Epic
- Legendary
Duplicates
In some instances, you have the chance to win a cosmetic item that you already own. If this happens, you will receive Renown based on the rarity of the duplicate item.

Alpha packs will be available for R6 Credits in the future, but they will always be purchasable in Renown and able to be earned from playing matches.
