The game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has faced criticism for its battle pass system, which requires an excessive amount of grinding to progress through just 75 levels. Unlike other games, the battle pass in Suicide Squad does not expire when a season ends, but the amount of XP required to advance is staggering. It takes 1,000 battle pass XP to move up one rank, in addition to other types of XP needed for different aspects of the game.
Players earn battle pass XP by completing missions, daily bounties, and hunting down rare enemies on the map. However, the amount of XP awarded for these tasks is minimal compared to the amount required to progress through the battle pass. For example, completing missions alone would take approximately 200 hours to reach 7,500 XP. Daily bounties and hunting rare enemies provide slightly more XP, but the grind is still unbearable for many players.
The excessive grind in Suicide Squad has led to frustration among players, with many feeling that the progression system is unfair and unbalanced. Some players have voiced their concerns online, hoping to spark a change in the game’s development. Rocksteady, the game’s developer, has been criticized for being slow to address issues like the battle pass grind. Players have paid for the battle pass, which offers rewards such as unlocking the character Joker, but the time and effort required to progress through it far surpasses that of other games using a similar model.
As one of the few journalists still covering Suicide Squad, the author emphasizes the need for change in the game’s progression system. The battle pass grind is seen as a major flaw that is driving players away from the game. Without addressing this issue promptly, the future of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League may be at risk as players become frustrated and disengage from the game. The author encourages readers to follow them on social media and check out their sci-fi novels.
