    Prestige Crates Not Rewarding credits for duplicates.

    i bought the 1X Prestige crate by mistake, then 10X Prestige Crates, and my first 2 unlocks were duplicates... No credits reimbursed.

    Please update this in a hot-fix, many of us paid Real Money for Ghost War and Battle crates, just to get duplicates then won't be reimbursed? Uh-uh, no way. R6 Siege gives Renown for duplicates, i don't see any reason to not reimburse.

    I am not opening another crate until this is fixed, and all the friends i told about how awesome Ghost War is to get my PVP Oriented friends into GR WL will know about this, not a threat, It Just Needs to be Fixed.

    Have you tried accessing the store from the ghost war menu?

    I had the same issue but the credits were available in the Ghost War store.

    Dont duplicates just get added to the 20 duplicate item counter that when full turns into a crate?

    I thought that was the new "fair" system

    That's what the patch notes seem to imply 😕

    "For any duplicate items received, the increment counter increases by 1 and you will receive 10 Store Credits."

    Ah, patch notes are too long and stressful for me to read, i guess i'm old... I used to be an Indie Developer using UT2K4 to start a Mod then it got upgraded to a game, which i created, i know all too well how long patch notes can be, i watched the SO 2 videos though, easier to get a grasp on for me.

    Thank you for sharing that... i didn't read all of it. Seems they could've mentioned that in 8 seconds in the SO 2 videos :/

    10 duplicates for one crate, that unlocks one item seems unfair to me as well.

    [EDIT] Wait. 20 duplicates? Nope, not opening until a revision is fixed. That's a load a malarky. I suggest 3 'cause that's still unfair, but they're a business, but maximum 5.

    Your 20 counter thingie goes up with the opening of every prestige crate whether the item inside is a duplicate or not. Then after 20 you can select one free Spec Ops or Ghost War crate with new "SO2" items.

    Duplicates from prestige crates additionally give you 10 normal store credits, the ones you used to have to buy with terran currency. A little yellow notification should appear in the top right each time this happens.

    If you don't see that note and no regular store credits appear there's something really wrong, I'd raise a ticket with Ubi.

    On the other hand did you maybe just think your counter going up signified duplicates? Counter ticks up for pre "SO2" items you don't have, so is it possibly that?

    My favorite part is getting 3 of the exact same duplicate item within 10 crates... to include consecutive

    I admit i was hasty and uneducated in this matter, new icons have to have labels, and now my PC is crashing on Load because my game cache got corrupted with the patch, verifying files and setting up a new SLI profile in nVidia CP after, then will test.

    Thank you for the explanation, yes i beleieve i got 2 "Up Arrows", IIRC, so i guess i got credit for duplicates. and that explanation sounds much better than 20 duplicates equals a return of one crate, if all is true.

    Confirmed on PS4. Have over 30 Crates opened, lots of Duplicates of course (7xCamo Tattoo for example...), but no Credits.

    30 store credits in your pocket, babes! \o/

    I opened like 40 prestige crates today and now have 800 additional credits in the store from all the duplicates.

    Might be time for me to buy that magazine accessory pack since the update locked everyone out of their 30 round P mags and 9x19 mags et cetera.

    I really like that they created this duplicate system to give us a way to farm store credits.
