DLC Question

[Kexlar]

Why when you buy the rebuild edition do you need to purchase the The Invictus Type A from the store? I already paid extra for the rebuild edition so why should I use my ingame currency to purchase it?

In snowrunner there was a lot complaining about getting vehicles free ingame.
It was claimed pay to win - can you believe that?

So now you actually have to buy them ingame - but they are still available.

I don't understand the complaint.
Consider the perspective: If the DLC had launched 6 months or a year from now, you wouldn't have given a second thought to having to buy the new truck from a dealer. (meaning: Just Like In American Truck Sim - new truck comes out, visit the dealer, buy it.)

It's only that the DLC is available from Day One that skews the perspective that it should be 'free' in game. It's not even particularly expensive. I haven't even completed the first map on a brand new save and I can just about buy it...

The vehicle says it is available, but you still need to purchase it in game with coins, my issue is that no where does it say you will still need to purchase the vehicle you paid extra for in the Rebuild edition via the in game shop. It should be available in your vehicle list from the start, like you say you have just only managed to buy it from the store, so why not just put the vehicle in the store to start with and remove it from the rebuild edition.?

The Company have not listed or mentioned about having to purchase it in game, it stats it comes included from the start = Included in your vehicle list.

Every game that has given me items for free with pre-orders or dlc bonuses or whatever was ever so slightly made worse for it. Especially buying older games with bundles of dlc. They give you things that are either useless, or too good to not use, and when it comes free, it means you remove the entire mechanic of gear building or collecting from that playthrough.
Just so you know, you can get through the first three maps without buying anything, rusty vehicles work and you cannot get rid of them because they are a safety against softlocking. You can buy the invictus as soon as you complete like two or three quests and it won't create any issues.

It doesn't state anywhere that you get it right away. Just that it will now be in your game. If it were on your garage from the start it would just make the starting scouts redundant right away so its good that you have to pay for it. Same with the tracked sander.

By the end of the tutorial map I had more than enough for the hummer knockoff

The store page only ever said "available", it never said or implied that you would have that vehicle given to you in the game. Folks who didn't purchase the Rebuild Edition do not have that vehicle available to them at all in their game.
