Do keys ever drop?

Or do you just have to purchase them?

They never drop. You have to buy them

Aw, such a bummer, well, I guess it's a good way for the KF2 devs to make money.

It is. If they dropped, no one would buy them.

Given that skins and cosmetics themselves drop, that's a good enough free alternative compared to buying keys.

It's a greedy microtransaction system. What do you think? Nope.

If you don't wanna buy keys, just recycle your crates :P

It's going to take a good 100 days of crates to equal 1 key value item and that is getting all the same crates to create the same class of item.

No this is not greedy, yes it's a microtransaction system but not yet greedy. It starts to be greedy when it affects the gameplay like unique weapons behind a paywall like it was in KF1 and the 3 community weapon packs.

Almost none of the stuff in crates can be dropped or crafted, and most of the free drops are garbage (more in terms of look than value). I wouldn't call it a good alternative. The only moment in 2 years of gameplay I dropped good stuff was during the sideshow event that just ended.

Any MT's system IS inherently greedy, expoitative and manipulative, especially in a PAID game, this f2p crap is a complete disgrace and an insult to the intellegence of the gamer at large (well at least those of whom who posses any form of intellect) TWI jumped aboard Valve's cheese and gravy train with this move. £2.49 for a key to gamble for a random item and be subjected to a Skinner Box racket? Nah.

Well, you could also consider purchasing keys gambling. Since you never know what you could get. That's what keeps it fun imo.

You probably don't even realise you are being abused by an operant conditioning scam.
