Like any modern video game, Gears 5 comes with microtransactions. These microtransactions are made for players to directly purchase items from the Gears 5 store. All items available in the store are cosmetic. None of them are designed to improve your gaming experience, make your fight easier, or make you stronger than your opponents. Here's the breakdown of the many microtransactions you can capture in-game and what you can buy with them.

Available items
Items in Gears 5 are mainly cosmetic. You can open the store to choose different flags to place behind your profile, buy character skins, expressions they can say during battles, blood sprays when you execute enemies, and weapon skins. Boosts are the only thing that changes your gameplay in the store. These boosters grant you additional experience points after completing a multiplayer mission. You are going to acquire character profile levels much faster than if you didn't.
However, none of the items in the store will give you access to specific weapons, more powerful ammo, or make you a more viable member of a multiplayer team member. You are going to have to do it yourself with your skills.
There is also a section with weekly and daily offers. If you're anxiously waiting for a particular character or armor to show up here, check it every few days for the new deal. Gears 5A for you.
