This is 100% a P2W game. It's fun, but be prepared to exit out of at least 10 ads wanting you to buy something each time before you play. And you WILL need to buy something if you have any chance of progressing. The higher ranks you get too, the more often you find yourself pitted against someone who bought a $50 weapon that you literally have no chance against. It's a fun game, but be prepared to spend way too much money if you like winning.
