nice of the devs to cut my number of hunter slots in half for this "update", then offer to sell them back
Extremely cool to log in and see "You have 10/5 Hunters, you can buy more character slots for a dollar fifty"

They cut mine down from 26 to 16, I bought all of those slots already with IRL money. Definitely filing an FTC complaint on it if customer support doesn't give them back

Between this and the guns you can only use by paying to unlock even the basic level of their battle pass now, this is a cash-grab disgrace of an update. To do this to players who've been supporting the game for years is shameful.

Those are skins.

Also I think I've lost slots too but I never kept track of that. Seems like they screwed up somehow.

60/51. Lost 9 Hunters.

It seems to me that they took some of the slots away that I got from the dark tribute.

Bump this. Cash grab scam tactics
Missing several here too.

I'm also missing blood bonds, I think due to an error in how it's awarding dark tribute bonuses alongside weekly quest rewards. When I started playing today I had 847 bonds -- I remember because I was thinking how I only needed roughly 150 to be able to get the stupid pass; but now after doing two weekly quests with a 10 bond reward and getting a 60 bond payout from my dark tribute, I'm only at 907, down 20 bonds. May seem silly to quibble about but if 25% of the freemium bonds are going to just get eaten by code it really does contribute to the atmosphere of the devs trying to milk their base for all its worth if they want to keep playing and enjoying new any content

I'm not sure about that. When I look under 'All Weapons' in my game it tells me the Crossbow Deadeye, the Infantry 73L, and the 1865 Carbine are all restricted until I unlock them in the battle pass progression. The Infantry 73L Bayonet is available for common purchase immediately once unlocked, but to do that I have to use an Infantry 73L, so...

Like I said above, these are all kind of minor complaints, but they definitely seem like gentle feelers being put out to see if players will tolerate this kind of structure with the overhaul of the game. I don't think we should.

This sounds like a bug, not scummy tactics. I had more hunters than slots too, but it looked like they dumped a bunch of rookies on me that I don't remember having.

Those are skins and "early" access to new weapons if they are brand new. They will be unlocked for free just like always.

This happened to me too, I used to have 25 slots and now i'm down to 18. I sent a ticket yesterday. I have a feeling it took away the free hunter slots given from Tribute rewards.

I honestly don't remember being able to get that many slots. I thought the max slots was 10-15 before?

It was originally 20 max hunter slots and it was bumped up to 50 probably 1-2 years ago. Not sure if they bumped it even more since then.
