Expeditions

personally the main purpose of the expedition isn't their type and what they give in the "swag store", they all give faction coins and that's what is good and useful, there is much better items, offers and deals in the "faction store" then the "swag store" and you use the same faction coins you get from any expeditions.

the old store pretty much only had low amount of strap parts and the occasional blue or white bag with 10k coins or 5hp or the 1-5 tp bags, the majority of players I know didn't even bother to do expeditions anymore since there wasn't anything good from it and you were getting less from it then just spending 5min farming a road node.

The new store has actual usable resources and upgrade possible, the charlotte gears are very powerful, the gear loot may be random but it's also free and you can get some of the rarest gears from it if you are lucky and there is also larger amounts of coins and tp, I mean right now in mine I got 100k coins for 1000 faction coins, you get 1000 free faction coins daily from completing all 3 dailies and 100k coins is more you could get in a week in the old store.

It's also a way for players to get legendary straps if they normally have a hard time getting them if they don't ever get the higher milestones of events.

also keep in mind this is a faction features and having your faction contributing is obviously a bonus, you get 87,500 free faction coins from having your faction doing the weekly objective.

that's because the faction objective alone give you 87,5k per week plus the daily ones, I'm already over 300k faction coins and I spent some and only check them once or twice per day so I'm missing out on a lot.

personally I still use the swag shop for the daily quest that require you to spend 1000 faction coins, I'm trying to save for Charlotte gear so I dont wanna spent over 1k daily so if there's no factions store offer under 1k or its 500-750 I'll use the swag shop cheap offers of 250-320 to max the 1k without over spending
