Star Wars Battlefront 2 Crystals cost real-world currency, buy loot boxes

16 Oct 2017

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Crystals are what you’ll be able to buy with real-world money, and in turn will net you all-important loot boxes.

Listings on Amazon confirm that $5 USD will net you 500 Crystals, while $100 USD buys 12,000 Crystals. The listings also confirm that Crystals can be redeemed for in-game loot boxes.

Offering performance-boosting weapons and Star Cards alongside cosmetic items, players are concerned that Crystals encourage a pay-to-win situation within the game. That said, developer DICE has stressed that the loot boxes are a work in progress.

Are you concerned about the state of Battlefront 2’s loot box situation?

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 heads to Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4 on 17 November.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
