Monetisation
Type | Notes |
---|---|
DLC | Plenty of DLCs with ingame items. Some of them purchasable only for a certain time. |
Free-to-play | Access to items is unlocked through ranking (per class).[3] |
Subscription | AAA Pass[4] |
DLC and expansion packs
Name | Notes | |
---|---|---|
Infinite Pack | Grants weapons for free when the required level is reached. Applies also retrospectively.[4] |
- The content of the DLCs can be applied to only one Uplay-account and can therefore not be used with other accounts, despite using the same Steam-account, which owns the respective DLCs.[5]
Microtransactions
Type | Notes |
---|---|
Boost | Timelimited booster: Affecting XP and RP.[3] |
Cosmetic | Avatars, headgear, different designs for weapons |
Currency | ATHENA Credits (previously RP) as normal currency (received for playing, challenges), GP as premium currency (only purchasable with realworld-money) |
Infinite spend | Grenades and Magnum Ammo (boost to damage) are consumables. Non-consumable items have durabilities.[3] |
Loot box | Crates/boxes are received through playing or buying.[3][6] |
Player trading | Items can be gifted to ingame-friends. No bilateral trading. |
Time-limited | Seasonal or items based on events. Applies also to some DLCs.[7] |
- Earlier access to higher ranked items (weapons, weapon-upgrades, armour), boost to damage and passive abilities were for purchase.[3]
- Items could be tested prior to purchase.
- Hosting a customised match required a token every time. Tokens needed to be purchased.[8]
- Items are bound to a specific class and can not be used by the other two classes.

Graphics feature | State | Notes | |

Widescreen resolution | |||
Multi-monitor | Unplayable due to menus being partially offscreen.[10] | ||
Ultra-widescreen | Change the resolution in the \Game\PDC-Live\GraphicSettings.ini file. | ||
4K Ultra HD | |||
Field of view (FOV) | FOV can be hacked by turning the game to windowed mode, setting the horizontal resolution through the GraphicSettings.ini to something larger than the monitor resolution, and then using SRWE to change the horizontal resolution back to native, but this sometimes results in unresponsive menus. |
||
Windowed | |||
Borderless fullscreen windowed | Can use SRWE to remove the borders from windowed mode, but is not supported natively. | ||
Anisotropic filtering (AF) | See the glossary page for potential workarounds. | ||
Anti-aliasing (AA) | While there is an antialiasing option in the GraphicSettings.ini , it may not be effective. Aliasing is still present in much of the game. |
||
Vertical sync (Vsync) | |||
60 FPS | |||
120+ FPS | Use windowed mode with in-game Vsync enabled to bypass 60 FPS cap. | ||
High dynamic range display (HDR) | See the glossary page for potential alternatives. |

- Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) support status is unknown.
Issues unresolved
Launcher continuous to run in the background
- The game's launcher may continue to run in the background after the launcher window has been closed.
- The launcher can be closed from the Windows system tray (usually bottom right),[11] or by right-clicking the taskbar icon and selecting "Close Window" (Windows 7 or above).
- This must be repeated every time the player quits the game.
Issues fixed
Installer crash
Launcher manual download[12] |

Uninstallation problems
Even when using the "uninstall" option from the launcher, an error message saying the pdc-live files are in use is sometimes present. Deleting the files won't work, sending them to the recycling bin won't work either. The following is not a recommended solution: By renaming the folders "Pdc-live" and "patches" in the GRO folder to something else, uninstallation from the launcher somehow works. The folders that were renamed are removed and GRO no longer appears in "Programs and Features".
