While this might not seem worth it, considering you can simply buy most cosmetic items, Alpha Packs will contain more than 30 legendary items that will only be available by earning or purchasing Alpha Packs.
Rainbow Six Siege will be the latest competitive multiplayer game to succumb to the loot box trend when it introduces Alpha Packs soon.
If you don’t want to wait for an Alpha Pack to randomly drop, you’ll also be able to purchase Alpha Packs for 5,000 Renown.
Alpha Packs are probably Ubisoft’s way of keeping fans interested and introducing new items while fans patiently wait for the next round of Operators to arrive.
