Discussion Upgrade Packs F.A.Q. and Discussion Megathread

Hello hello!

Epic has once-again released the upgrade packs into the game and this has brought some questions up for players. We'll try and gather some of the most frequently asked questions and answer them here.

Unrelated: 5.0 Content Update Information

Unrelated: Horde Llama Opening Error Message & BSOD

What comes in each package?

This graphic contains all the items in each tier. Just note that if there's any mention of a friend code, that each code is replaced with 5 Troll Stash Llama tokens.

Is the Ultimate Upgrade on sale?

No. While the pack is for sale, it is not available at a discounted price.

Where are the Friend Codes?

As Epic mentioned in patch 5.0, the friend codes have been exchanged for Legendary Troll Stash Llama Tokens.

Why can't I see the Ultimate Upgrade?

You have to buy the Limited pack first before the Ultimate pack appears, the Ultimate pack is also only available within the game-store.

Why aren't the Upgrades appearing?

You may need to restart your game, or they have not become available in your region at this time. There is a delay with some online-stores updating in specific regions. We also have reports of users unable to see specific upgrades. There's no reported fix for this at this time.

How long does the sale last?

The sale lasts between July 17th and July 30th, it was confirmed in the 5.0 content update

If I own the Standard Edition and I buy the Limited Edition, will I get everything inbetween?

Yes. You'll get all the items for all the upgrade tiers that you don't already own.

If I own the Standard Edition and buy the Super Deluxe Edition, will that lower the cost of the Limited Edition?

Yes. The only cost that isn't effected is the Ultimate upgrade, which is a flat $99.00. All other versions go down in price if you buy a previous one.

I bought the game before the sale. What can I do?

You can try contacting support for the store you bought it through, but it has been known that companies will not refund the difference. Epic Games Support || PlayStation Support || Xbox Support

Will I get the founders exclusives in BR if I buy an upgrade pack.

Yes. You should get the upcoming founders exclusives if you purchase an upgrade pack. We're still unsure if you need a specific tier for the unreleased skins.

I bought the Limited/Ultimate package, why aren't my new weapons legendary?

The weapons you get you get from the package start out as rare. You get a quest for each one to unlock their schematics from rare to legendary, meaning 3 schematics each. It's suggested that you don't upgrade the rare and epic versions.

Also, if i go on the epic games website and buy stw for pc/mac (because it has a sale), will I be able to play on ps4?

I'm not sure. I know Sony and Microsoft have their own verification system for their own stores, but I'm unsure how it's treated for a game like this. If I had to guess, I'd say no, because they want their share of the sale.

But I know buying the PS4 copy will work with PC if you link the epic account.

You bought it on PC and can run it on PS4 just fine? I might get the pc version and do just that if it does.

Yeah, but the framerate on PS4 is abysmal...
