I don't know much about what's upcoming and I noticed characters are unlockable through the use of auric or dlc packs or playing. If I was going to spend money which would be better auric or buying dlc?

    DLC. Auric Cells for both (survivor and killer) is not worth it. Also you get an additional cosmetic :chuffed:

    Basically picture the DLCs as a bundle discount. If you get everything from the DLC, you save a little and get an extra cosmetic. If you only play killer, for example, and you don't care about the survivor one bit, you could also save yourself some money by buying only the killer for AC.

    You say theres an extra cosmetic... I dont see one? Could you name the cosmetic you get for each bundle?

    The cosmetics are the alternative outfits for the survivors. The Auric Cell versions only come with a single outfit (the one they're wearing by default).

    So for Feng Min, for example, that would be her weekend clothes.

    Cash wise?

    Major Holidays.

    I got DbD for 10 bucks at Christmas time, and most of the DLC at a simularly steep discount.

    This stuff should be on the Steam store pages for those DLCs. I don't understand why Curtain Call lists an exclusive Kate cosmetic and the other two don't..... well I do, before you used to always buy the DLCs.

    The other 2 (Feng and Ace) need to be updated so customers know what they are purchasing or if they want to use shards/auric.
