I love Scrappy, but charging $10 for a new hat on a glorified menu in Arc Raiders doesn't sit right

Arc Raiders: Artwork for the new Leviathan bundle showing a close-up of a player in a divers helmet reloading on the left, and a player modelling the barnacle-covered backpack on the right.

Scrappy, your resource-collecting rooster, might just be my favourite addition Arc Raiders makes to the extraction formula, cutting out much of the boring low-level material grind. Naturally, I'd like to reward his hard work with some new fits, say, a cool old diving helmet. Perhaps we could have matching outfits, even? Now that would be cool.

But that's where my heart immediately sank when I logged in to check the new store bundles—the first store refresh since launch. That new Scrappy diving helmet added in the new Deep Sea Bird set costs 900 raider tokens, and includes the Scrappy outfit, an emote, and a little charm. Thankfully, all of these items can also be purchased individually, but the cool helmet costs 700 tokens by itself. Either way you cut it, you need to purchase the 1,150 token pack for £7.79 to cover it.
