Blacklight: Retribution – Free to Play FPS | Marketplace Variety Sale
By CrabClaw @ October 10, 2012 at 12:30am
With such a wide array of gear and weapons, it’s hard as an Agent to have every base covered when it comes to combat readiness. Get your hands on some reduced price gear during this sale, and fill out the gaps in your loadout.
These low prices only last until October 17th.
Starting things off is the Assault Kit – useful for anyone wanting to make an impact in head to head gunfights. The Assault Kit comes with the following gear:
– Assault Kit – 995 ZEN (Normally 2,000)
(All gear items are permanent duration)
Heavy Assault Rifle (Primary Receiver)
Briar Composite LBiV (Barrel mod)
Vulcan r36 Spectrum (Muzzle mod)
Allied R21V Hunter (Helmet Armor)
Overmatch Impact CQT (Chest Armor)
HE Grenade MK. 1 (Equipment)
7 day 10% GP boost (Consumable)
Next up is the Barricade tactical gear. This shield is perfect for taking cover in exposed locations, or for blocking off hallways and chokepoints. Normally 1,000 ZEN, this item is now only 495 ZEN for the duration of the sale.
Deliver massive area damage and inflict heavy casualties to enemy Agents with the Anti-Personnel Rocket Launcher. This launcher fires a large rocket that breaks into a large swarm before impact to cause wide area of effect damage. Normally 1,000 ZEN, this weapon is now 495 ZEN for this sale.
Finally, a machine-pistol premade – the Toxic Dart – is down from 750 ZEN to 495 ZEN for this sale. Upgrade your sidearm today, and be prepared for battle tomorrow.
Each item listed above is on sale until October 17th.
Play Blacklight: Retribution, the free to play FPS with intense futuristic action.

So with the sale, I'm guessing that is referring to Zen? If so, I'll stick to plowing through matches till i get enough to perm stuff I need as a new base model. But The amount of GP is quite dissappointing, tolerable but dissapointing, plus I find trouble with the Hit registry, but that's for another forum I'm guessing. Your gear so far is quite enjoyable, annoying if you buy the wrong parts but nice. Maybe some new stuff for people above lvl 30 would be nice, that way I have a lot of time to save up =]
metalhatcowboy
I totally agree. If ur past lvl 30 u should also be able to "buy" with GP and not only zen
hita597 @ Oct 15th, 2012 12:34AM
Wish they would do another Loadout Sale.
javelin45 @ Oct 13th, 2012 5:16AM
What about a GP sale as well
fragdummy @ Oct 12th, 2012 4:42PM
urgh. All those elemental weapons give me a headache...
shooter539 @ Oct 12th, 2012 3:29AM
PLEASE GIVE US HORDE MODE!
akatosh247
indeed you guys have to throw us a bone if you dont give us some new stuff people are going to leave. you give us so little gp after every match and make us level up so slow and make the prices so BIG! we push through this becouse we love the game so please give us horde mode!
bozyszcz
just want to say: I am not tierd of game policy... and yup horde mode will be overwhelmed if will be done nice
shtugendorf
Can't you guys just appreciate that this game is really, really awesome just the way it is? Though I do agree that Horde mode would be rather cool, they're obviously working on Evacuation right now. And @akatosh247: Don't call playing the game "pushing through." It's called playing the game.
firstolast @ Oct 11th, 2012 9:21AM
i assume that 450 zen is the perm price for the toxic dart, but why am i unable to select to buy it permenantly in the drop down menue as opposed to only for one day?
petersabers
switch payment method from GP to Zen
elksfc @ Oct 10th, 2012 9:33PM
You've treated your most loyal players like trash... coddled cheaters... driven over 2000 people from a once great game with lack of content, ignorance, and patches that make you the joke of the ftp world... What will you do for an encore? <3
nyr087
and you sir are on obvious "winner" yourself.
leortiz @ Oct 10th, 2012 7:43PM
they should make like economic packs: like take any three armor perm for 10% less gp or so, those kind of sales
yukimaru0 @ Oct 10th, 2012 3:11PM
Aaaaaand all the gp I saved up is gone. Now I has a shiny new shield and rocket :D
hita597 @ Oct 10th, 2012 2:52PM
I may get the swarm and maybe the shield If I get enough GP.
etienn1380 @ Oct 10th, 2012 2:37PM
Heal Injector, RL2a Swarn, Barricade are all item that I bought PERM before those sale. Let's see, -51% of 11 000GP -51% of 11 000GP -51% of 11 000GP all for PERM. Oh great! I lose 15 000 GP! So Please! Please! Give us a warning before making sale! Please!
yukimaru0
That will never happen. As it stands the only tac gear I have permed were all on sale.
petersabers
Why would they announce sales? Then you'd say "I bought it all 1 day before annoucement, announce earlier!". It's stupid. You were a little unlucky, cry me a river.
etienn1380
@ petersabers ''a little unlucky'' ? Losing 15 000 GP, a little unlucky? oh I suposse that playing around 18 hours to get this amount of GP is absolutly nothing for you... And what about all the people that just spend all their GP some days before the sale event? At least, give us a warning or an clue that there will be a sale soon like ( Attention: Sale of Autumn are almost here, agents - are you prepared?). Like that people can collect/save some GP until the event. Im not asking to making the event longer for a month...
sulliebear @ Oct 10th, 2012 12:48PM
You know I've been wanting the shield since I first started playing this about a month ago. Barely got to lvl 21 yesterday evening and got it for 3 days and now its 50% off for 6 days... I am definitely going to perm this! THANK YOU you guys for all the sales recently! Unless this is all to get us to spend as much gp and money as possible before Evac so we're all broke little agents lol
mikaelx @ Oct 10th, 2012 12:09PM
We want Evacuation, not Zen sales!
awksy @ Oct 10th, 2012 9:57AM
Sale hasn't actually started...
uplevel2 @ Oct 10th, 2012 9:17AM
Great sale !!
rafaleon12 @ Oct 10th, 2012 7:28AM
The shield really needs to protect the back again. That's one of the perks that made it so great, protection against people shooting you from behind and breach hammers to the back. I"d take a speed nerf while using it if it meant having back protection again.
drakenartz @ Oct 10th, 2012 5:46AM
Yeah still waiting for it to start...? Nice specials though ^_^
steelmagnum01 @ Oct 10th, 2012 4:59AM
When does it start? I am in game now and they are not on sale..
angryblckman @ Oct 10th, 2012 4:51AM
"By equipping this riot shield, you’ll protect the back of your Agent" What? Ok I know this is a lie unless you guys actually buffed the damn thing again.
operative19
Marketing has no idea what they're talking about with game mechanics... this is like the fourth or so time in a row they've given wrong info about an item's function....
shugarama @ Oct 10th, 2012 4:27AM
Assault pack on sale -> HAR permanent -> more noobs running with HAR *sigh*
tauxie @ Oct 10th, 2012 3:27AM
The Guardian shield does not protect your back. It used to, but was found to be too powerful of a perk. But this tactical gear item is still very helpful for creating a line of defense and holding points.
peteagain7 @ Oct 10th, 2012 1:35AM
Pretty sure the shield does not protect ur back
lazerclawz @ Oct 10th, 2012 12:58AM
Everything on sale is for zen? Thanks Perfect World.
tauxie
They only list the ZEN prices, but the prices for GP are also dropped by about 50.5%
