Where are the base operators?

[AppleJuiceBox2]

Maybe I am missing something but here is my question. I originally bought the game long ago for xbox 1. Got rid of the game and decided today to download it on PC. Great game cant believe I got rid of it. So I purchased The Gold Edition, but those base characters in the xbox 1 game such as Ash are now behind a pay wall on PC as something as Pathfinders or something?

Am I missing something here or what are the base players for PC? Few of those I loved but what the heck did I get the Gold Edition for with Year 5 pass? I am confused.

the pathfinders can be obtained with 900 renown, they are the OG ops.

A while ago they were included, but not anymore, you have to purchase them with renown now.

They cost so little renown that you should be able to unlock half of them just from playing Situations tbh

Yea I get it. Not so much being its easy as the fact it changed.

To Ubi's credit, said changes also included removing the renown cost of weapon attachments (e.g. grips sights etc) and just unlocking them all for everyone, so I'd be willing to bet that putting the Pathfinders behind a small unlock barrier is more to help new players not get overwhelmed from having so many op choices so suddenly, rather than some sort of effort to increase grind.

okay basic timeline

Game is released, have to unlock base ops

They add the starter edition, they make all base ops unlocked when buying base game

They remove the starter edition, they go back to standard unlock mode for base game ops + cut in price of base game

Worth clarifying for the middle bit that you still had to unlock the base ops if you got Starter instead of Standard (Standard being the "base" editon) during that time period.
