each new character is 15,000 steel. As for the free part, well, you ARE paying real-life money for the pass, so... they're free in-game, at least. But not free overall.
Realistically, the season pass is essentially you paying real money for early access to 6 heroes that you can get anyways, 6 outfits you probably won't use, the emote sunbeam effect (Though I believe it's impossible to actually complete the Sunbeam effect set), some emblem outlines no one cares if you've got, 3 crates you can get with no problem through gameplay, and a month of champion status. Which is kind of worthless, too, since its boosts are so minimal.
If you think all that is worth money, then buy it, but I personally recommend you save your money and get the characters with steel from challenges.
You don't have to pay steel for the characters when you got the season pass mate. They mean that it's not "free" since you paid real money for the season pass.Originally Posted by KSI K9 HANDLER Go to original post
Okay see that's what I figured. If I get the season pass and don't have to pay the steel to unlock the characters that's what I'm willing to do. But I don't want to pay for the season pass and find out that it only covers getting to play the characters early and all those cosmetic things but you still have to pay steel to unlock the character
Nope you get them a week early and they are completely free. The new characters in the future will also be free for you and also a week early.Originally Posted by KSI K9 HANDLER Go to original post
You also get the Elite outfits for both the Centurion and Shinobi, Emote effect for all your characters to equip and 30 days champion status
