I don’t know about you, but this seems suspiciously like Wargaming wanting to make these “alternate” purchase options a lot harder than they need to be. Only then, can you pay 19,500 Doubloons for the ship, which equals $78 USD. If you want to pay with Doubloons, you have to contact the mess that is World of Warships Player Support. Oh, and you can only pay this price with real money. They don’t specify what the actual price is, but it’s almost certainly more than the normal price of a Tier 9 premium battleship. What this means is that Wargaming includes a bunch of useless things along with what you actually want to buy in order to jack up the price. So what do you get when you finally grind out this web campaign? Why do you get the privilege of being able to buy USS Missouri from the Premium Shop in a “bundle”. Each mission requires you to play a significant amount of games in World of Warships to grind them out, making them fairly tedious overall.

This web campaign spans a total of 7 missions that unlock every 2 days, with the missions only being available until September 15, 2021, at 3:00 AM (PT). See, Wargaming’s “alternate” method involves you taking part in a web campaign on the World of Warships official website. Artist: but you might counter that Wargaming has provided an “alternate” method of purchasing USS Missouri, so there’s no need to go through these predatory loot box mechanics, right? Well, yes, but actually, no. World of Warships: Now World of Wargambling The monetization here is just insane, and Wargaming knows it. Even worse, it’s assuming even odds, which isn’t a given for those Random Bundles. Even within World of Warships, that’s still nearly $50 USD over the normal price of a Tier 9 premium battleship in the game’s Premium Shop. This is over twice the standard price of a AAA game title. This means that the maximum amount you could end up paying for her is a whopping $246 USD.Įven LittleWhiteMouse‘s calculations that you’d need 21 pulls on average to get Missouri doesn’t make it much better. Going to the Armory tab reveals that you can purchase up to a grand total of 41 Random Bundles before you have a guaranteed purchase of the Missouri. Each Random Bundle costs 1500 Doubloons, which is the in-game currency you can purchase with real money.ġ500 Doubloons works out to $6 USD in the World of Warships Premium Shop if you type in the amount in the Any Amount of Doubloons tab. No, Wargaming is “selling” USS Missouri only through loot boxes called “Random Bundles”. Oh no, that isn’t enough money for Wargaming, no matter how high they raise her price to be. USS Missouri officially went on “sale” in World of Warships on August 27, 2021.

You can tell that even the weather doesn’t like Wargaming.
