The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with many players noting it can be quite grindy, especially for free-to-play users, as they navigate through weapon tiers and unlocks. Some argue that the grind is manageable if players engage with the game's mechanics fully, while others feel it is exacerbated by a lack of content and a microtransaction model. Overall, while the grind can be frustrating, it is often seen as a typical feature of free-to-play games.

It takes around 30 minutes to buy just a mid-range T1 pistol (and you have to begin with a crappy Makarov), not to mention their accessories and upgrades.”
