Season 02 changes weapon prices and role gates. M4 now requires Assault level 28 / $150,000 to unlock; AMP-9 requires Medic level 20 / $75,000 and costs $1,375 per purchase; the Defibrillator requires Medic level 22 / $110,000. The community spend estimates below retain their original context and are not current complete kit quotes. Use the corrected item records and your vendor basket for the actual total. BULKHEAD Season 02 notes · checked October 15 UTC.
Choose the kit that makes the next team decision easier. A cheap opening rifle can be correct; a specialist tool can be correct; the wrong answer is buying without a plan for the zone.
Check the weapon, attachments, loaded and spare ammunition, armor, medical supplies and specialist tools before comparing a full kit cost. The community spend notes below are estimates; an unpriced item is not free. See the weapon records, equipment records and current economy notes. A verified complete bill of materials is not yet available for these kits.
