Are you terrible at Battlefield 4, unable to play well due to the slew of glitches and bugs<\/a>, or simply love handing money over to EA?<\/p>\n

Then we are pleased to announce that you don’t have to earn Battlefield 4 Battlepacks anymore – you can buy them.<\/p>\n

“Starting today, we are introducing a new way to acquire Battlepacks, the bundles of content that provide a mix of in-game items including accessories, emblem shapes, profile pictures, dog tags, XP boosts, knives, and paints,” said Dice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Battlepacks can still be earned through normal gameplay progressions, but we are now giving players the option to purchase Battlepacks as a shortcut to catch up with their friends on the Battlefield.”<\/p>\n

The Battlepacks – which come in bronze, silver, and gold varieties – can be bought from Origin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pricing will be $1 (R10) for Bronze Battlepacks, $2 (R20) for Silver Battlepacks, and $3 (R30) for Gold Battlepacks.<\/p>\n
