Most the items are cosmetic, and the actual practical ones are only time-savers. (Do check out his Watch Dogs: Legion review for more of his adventures in merry cockney mayhem.) How much is that? WELL! Our Nate so very helpfully visited a shop to demonstrate what you can buy for £2's worth of ETO. Or hell, if you don't want to earn in-game cash by playing, you can buy it with real money. It also sells operatives with unique and striking looks: Or if you don't want to hunt collectibles yourself (or, like, find a map on Google), you can pay about £4 for in-game maps: So you're looking at about £11 for a themed bundle of skins: Depending on the size of the bundle you buy, prices for WD Credits range from £0.86 to £0.58 per 100 (classic bit of microtransaction psychology - as is selling them in quantities that don't match the price of individual items). So! With Legion they're selling 'WD Credits' to spend in an in-game microtransaction store. Monetising full-price games like this isn't new for Ubisoft (Assassin's Creed Odyssey sold in-game cash and boosters, for one), but if they keep doing it I'll keep grumbling. You don't need any of these to complete Legion but welp, it's still gross to see them juicing the game so much. Ubisoft are selling 'WD Credits' in bundles ranging from £4 to £42, which you can spend on in-game goodies like unique characters, skins, maps of collectibles, and wads of digicash.

As is customary for a modern Ubisoft open-world icon-clearer, Watch Dogs: Legion launches today with not only a £50 price tag and a £34 season pass but optional not-so-microtransactions too.
