- Post a comment / read (2) Wolfenstein: Youngblood has just been released on the PC (it was meant to come out tomorrow but the game was released a day earlier on Steam). Now in case you haven’t heard yet, this latest Wolfenstein game features numerous micro-transactions. However, it appears that PC gamers can easily bypass them. The game’s built-in store features gun upgrades, gun skins, character skins and boosters that you can buy with standard coins or gold bars. Standard coins are the in-game currency whereas Gold bars are the game’s microtransactions. Now what’s really cool here is that the store allows gamers to get stuff either buy using Standard Coins or by using Gold Bars. What this ultimately means is that by using CheatEngine, PC gamers can increase the amount of Standard Coins to ridiculous heights in order to get everything, without having to grind and without paying at all.
So, the game has a built-in store with gun upgrades, gun skins, character skins and boosters. Checked everything there, and you can buy all of it with standard coins (apart from Deluxe Edition stuff I guess? I have it already so I can't know for sure EDIT: deluxe stuff can be bought for gold bars only if you have the standard edition of the game, makes sense I guess). Skins you can usually buy with standard coins or gold bars which are the premium currency you buy for real money on Steam.
Cheat Engine works perfectly for standard coins, added 999999, bought some skins, everything's fine.
Big brain Bethesda, big brain, next time add some sort of online sync :D
Obviously, the use of CheatEngine may be considered illegal so I suggest using it solely in Offline Mode. Avoid using it while playing online as it may get you into trouble.
