As a regular player here who played it in the past, the grinding of silver is awful because I get around 740 silver per match as f2p which is awful when I reach BR 2+ because they are going to be more expensive. Then what? You are forced to battle veterans that are just gonna stick with BR 3 guns that gets you destroyed because the opponent have lmg, great smg, and semi auto rifles while you are sticking with bolt actions and shitty smg with 20 round mag. The beautiful part about this game is that anything can one shot you which is the real balance here, but its ugly when dealing with semi auto rifle guys using your own bolt action rifles
Weapons:
- BR 1 weapons cost 500 (Good price ngl)
- BR 2 weapons then cost 750 which is 250 more expensive
- BR 3+ weapons then cost 3k silver (Holy shit its 2250 more than BR 2)
Soldiers like Assaulter 2 costs like 7k silver where we can’t even get assaulter 1 that is for some reason got replaced with medics which is like more than 10 matches to afford the equipment and weapons even. The battle pass gives way less silver like 2k silver which you can grind it in 2-4 matches easily.
Solution (these are choices so feel free to chose them however suits you)?:
- Increase the rate of getting silver from 5 silver per 47 exp to 10 silver per 50 exp
- Increase base xp gain for faster research and more silver per BR
- Instead of victory xp bonus, give us silver bonus for more incentive to stay ingame and actually try to win together because silver is more precious these days.
- Increase battle pass silvers like 5k-20k silver
- The daily task currently gives us no reward (unless if you are newbie) until reaching battlepass rank. So why not make it more rewarding by completing task gives 1k-4k silver daily for better.
- Decrease cost of all weapons and equipment and soldiers except tier 4 and 5 ones
This is all I can suggest for now so feel free to add on solutions. I get what darkflow and gaijin wants by making grind hard by trying to incentivize players to pay for the game. But making it awfully hard for newbies will just destroy the potential of all other weapons and fractions people can enjoy so yeah it might be a loss after some newbie pays for the game but boring grind left them frustrated. It might even stop people from playing your game in the future if there is a ripoff or spinoff version of enlisted but better grind. Yeah, I suggest you focus on making economic changes for the better of the game since I love to battle others and enjoy playing as a team, not worse like war thunder is where you just go grab few kills in premium tank + premium acc and then die type grind

Good post. I agree, the prices are too expensive. I feel like the devs set the prices high to prevent everyone from being able to buy up gear and guns so quickly for the new players, yet it affects the new players in the worst way possible. I’m currently trying to play USA and Soviet Union and I have NO way of being able to afford half of the equipment that I need to use and unlock.
It’s expensive and for no solid reason.

Pps-42 costs like 750 for 1 gun. BR 2 is not the issue but I just added to emphasize how drastic price progressed from BR 2 to BR 3 unlike price progression from BR 1 to BR 2. BR 3 is the average gears you find in all matches for BR 1-3
I mean thats why most veterans after like post merge update just sticks to BR 3 and won’t go any far from that because its more awfully expensive gears and not much people to find there unlike common BR 1-3
bruh for me it says it costs 1500 tf is happening with my game
are you at br1 and picked 2 guns?
But either way its not the important part as I used it was a emphasis on how drastically hard getting tier 3 got like 3k per gun wtf
I do agree that weapons are expensive same with soldiers. I propose this to keep things balanced and to keep the grinding nature of the game intact without making a player want to beat their head into a wall.
Weapons:
BR 1: 500 (The price is fair doesn’t need to be changed)
BR 2: 1250 (I think that’s a good middle ground so it doesn’t really need an adjustment, That’s just being more than generous)
BR 3: 2000 (because it’ll help battle rating 3 equipment)
BR 4+: 3000 (because for some reason the price stops increasing after BR 3)
Soldiers:
Tier 1: 2500 (down from 3000)
Tier 2: 5000 (down from 7500)
Tier 3: 7500 (down from 10000)
Tier 4: 10000 (these prices were outrageous before)
- Soldier cost has always been horrible, especially when the soldiers are always random stat points within a range. They really need to make them like the weapons, so they can always roll at max stats. And then you just have to manually upgrade them through the 1 to 5 ranks, just like the weapon upgrades. (Even though There’s only three weapon upgrades they no longer roll with a random upgrade and all start at base level) I have had to throw away millions of silver just to get Max role soldiers in my lineups, All thanks to random stat points.
Vehicles:
- I feel like the vehicles price is all right. Maybe the later tiers could do with adjustment.
Pistols:
- I feel like they should go off of weapon costs from above. Since they already scale with tiers 1 2 and 3.
I can’t speak on the prices from an F2P standpoint, because I’ve always been premium while I’ve seriously played. When I did play as an F2P The game didn’t seem as interesting, maybe it was just at the time I played. But as a premium player these prices would seem a lot better, it may not be perfect for F2P but it would be a significant start.
The main point of this suggestion is not to rant on it. But rather help devs understand the real issue with lack of players with BR 1-2 to ever succeed in those bracket matchmaking they proposed as solution (Ex. BR 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5). So it will still be a issue to deal with BR 3 players, who decided to lock themselves in that BR because of next stage of outrageous grind with perfectly geared up, teams who keep stomping BR 1-2 geared people which is a real balance issues and pain in the ass. Enough to make newbies and some wallet gamers to quit mid grind. Like you are fighting a fucking best machinegun, smgs, and rifles that are on BR 3 with shitty slow bolt action rifles, smgs, and mgs.
Example (Since I play as soviet a lot):
- Fighting a MG-34 with a shitty madsen machinegun
- Fighting a Armaguierra mod 39 and Gewehr 41 with bolt action mosins
- Fighting a Mp-40 with PPD-34 (Kinda good smg tbh but not on par with MP-40 because of mag difference)
So yeah thats the crazy part on why newbies quit when they are facing semi auto, and machinegun spray and prayers type people with their shitty guns
Weapons:
Reserve Bolt Actions: Free to purchase (if the people mistakenly “threw out” reserve rifles, at least they don’t get punished by not getting them for free back)
- BR 1: 500 is fair price
- BR 2: 1000 Is just a better
- BR 3: 1500-2000 is best for BR 3 for quicker grind into competitive level
- BR 4+: 3000 is okay
Soldier:
- Tier 1: 2500 is good
- Tier 2: 3000 is just enough to reach head on competitive level with BR 3 people
- Tier 3: 7500 is just all right prices to stagnate growth to endgamer
- Tier 4: 10000 Outrageous but its good to avoid progressing fast
Pistols:
- Just make all of them 500 silvers since they are least used and pretty shit. Only good for CQC issues like ditching reload and using side arms first.
Vehicles:
- Yeah they are good price ngl
