Money has literally nothing to do with it. Seems like you're salty that you can't clear a lost sector solo without dying.

You [b]literally[/b] can’t get past rank 6 without buying the expansion and season pass. 🤑 Your fanboy simpness has blinded you from facts. 😂

I assumed you were talking about money spent on cosmetics or maybe character boosts, because OF COURSE you have to buy content to play it. The game is free-to-play, not free-to-master. What on earth makes you think you should be able to get rank 11 without doing any content that's been released in the past year? What mastery of the game are you proving by doing strikes and playing gambit? -blam!- moron. The level of entitlement you think you have to something you claim is useless is ironic and baffling. Good grief...
