All 7 cosmetic items for Steve

Hardman David

    I bought Susies mask and torso when legion came out because I wanted to play as her.

    I dunno. I don't buy often because I'm normally switching it up and I don't want to feel like I spent ten bucks on something I'll only wear once a month lol.

    Anything for demo. That is all.

    Only if I like them. Most of them are just recolors, and I'm not spending cash or even shards on recolors. If I like it enough, I'll use cash for it. Otherwise, I may save up the shards, but I prefer to spend those on BP from the Shrine.

    True, I don't feel as though cosmetics should be $10 even as killer when you can't see it (only the weapon). But I understand why it is that way, to make sure the DLCs are much cheaper.

    I don't anymore as I've changed platforms recently, but when I do consider it I feel like they are too pricey.

    Hardly ever on this game. I bought a few on Odyssey. And a couple on Division 2

    Smart thinking.

    Every time one i like drops. I have a lot of skins for killers few for survivors

    I have only "bought" skins with shards or putrid serum. I don't need any bloodpoints so I don't spend them in the shrine and I buy the new chapters with money so that my sub accounts (ps4) can play them too.

    Some of my favorites are the scarecrow wraith, wolfskin oni, ram skull huntress (hallowed blight body), and skeleton legion.

    I love that you can get these with shards because I don't think I would ever buy a skin for $10.

    With the direction this game is going not anymore, I just use my shards on them. I'm not giving BHVR a cent of my money anymore. Any new chapters that get released or cosmetics I'll just purchase with shards.

    I buy almost all skins with Shards, but I try to save them up until I have enough shards to buy what I want twice over.

    If I spend auric cells I only get a single premium cosmetic piece at a time. I also only get it after it's been out a while and I'm sure I want it and will use it.

    This leads to me acquiring cosmetics VERY slowly.

    I think I went all of December and January without buying a single cosmetic. Needless to say, I don't have that many.

    Never.

    I'm not even opposed to the idea of buying cosmetics either, there's just consistently been very little offered that I find interesting. None of the store cosmetics for my mains interest me more than what I already have, though Meg does has a set I really like. There are definitely kinds of cosmetics I could imagine them implementing that I would pay for immediately. But none of that is what we currently have.

    Only bought for Nancy, Steve and The Demogorgon. Stranger Things fan here.

    They're too expensive, which is why I don't buy more. $10 for a cosmetic is too much. Should just be $3, if that.

    Pretty much never only cosmetic I've bought was scoops ahoy and twisted demogorgon

    Cosmetics are a bad deal coming at 10$ a outfit for the purple ones which are the skins people mainly buy.


    Even if I did consistently invest money into cosmetics it would just be for my mains because if you just bought 10 purple outfits you would already have invested 100$ in this game and your only just becoming BHVR's cash cow as you buy more and more cosmetics not to mention buying chapters which are usually 7.99 with the exception of Stranger Things Leather Face and Ghostface

    Never have and never will. Unless it’s with shards.

    Pretty rarely since the devs have made it quite clear they don't care about the killer experience.

    Not often. Only on people i play. However, there are a few different circumstances.

  • Clinton

    I have a hard time resisting any of the Legion's cosmetics so a lot.

    I have a Pig skin, 2 Spirit skins, 2 Dwight, 2 Nea, and 2 Feng

    So I have easily spent well over 100 dollars on cosmetics

    Haven't ever bought cosmetics, not planning to either, I just can't spend that much money XD

    If they were to add Shirtless Myers, however, that would be an instant buy.

  • Dwight_Fairfield

    Every time they release one for Dweet I am guaranteed to get it.

    Myers too, even though he only has the one. But it was a first day buy for me.
