Not getting items after matches

[Sgt Reed]

I haven't received any items in a long time. Do you still get them without buying them or what?

You will get :
- items from Rocket Pass tiers,
- Blueprints,
- and Drops for completing Challenges :

So you need to spend money to earn stuff?
Meaning blueprints and Rocket pass. That sucks.

It depends, it's not necessary to spend real money.

You can trade with some players bunch of Blueprints for few Credits.

Rocket Pass has few Free items too. Although if you like some rewards in RP then might be worth to buy it for 1000 Credits and get back 1000 Credits if you reach Tier 110.
Then you can buy next RP if you manage to save those 1000 Credits or when you earn some with trading.

+ Apart of playing you can earn Twitch drops by watching if some stream have them enabled - usually when there's some Esports event :

But you need to buy 500 credits in order to trade so you need to spend money no matter what. Kinda scummy.

No, you should do some research.

"At least 500 Credits or equivalent (Esports Tokens, Starter Pack, etc.) purchased, does not apply to players who played before the Free to Play update"

Unless you somehow got game and played on Steam after Free to play update.

I bought it when it was pretty much brand new but when I tried to trade it says I need to buy 500 credits first.
