What do battle passes even do? Is that the same thing as “season pass” things in other games (not that I know what those do either tbh)?

I never pay for, and thus don’t look at, any game stuff that’s not included, so I’m totally ootl on this one.

It would take a lot longer than two months for people run out of not-yet-confiscated firearms or ammo, though (decades, probably), so effectively it doesn’t matter that much if they suddenly ban them, and I’d be thrilled with that outcome.

I mean what difference does it make if you murder someone or murder them with a banned weapon? The result of getting caught is being totally fucked either way.
