Will bits be account or character locked?

[Bigbulk91]

So I was walking shop and I was thinking about how much bits may cost in GBP after all the talk of them being around $1 for 100 bits and then I thought, I wonder if they are character or account locked, therefor accessible across all characters on a single PSN/steam/XBL account.

Has there been any word on this?

Bits are account based

Bits are account based

So they are shared across all characters on the account?

each of your characters can use the items purchased, except the items that are consumable, i.e. lockboxes and buffs

The bits themselves are yes, as for the outfits and objects you purchase with them, I didn't get a chance to test that in beta. Experience would tell me the stuff you buy with the bits themselves would be character bound, but I will leave that up to someone who knows for sure.


EDIT: JBoneFX beat me to it.

That is actually a smart move by Trion then in my eyes. Thanks for the help guys!

What kind of shops were you looking at?

Certain items (cars, bikes, costumes) purchased on EU server will be available for US toons as well - and vice versa.

Lockboxes and inventory upgrades are toon-specific.

Not sure about boosts.

I was walking to a general shop (to get chocolate) and thinking about the game.

The bits go across the account but whenever you buy an outfit on one character its stuck to that character, now if you buy a lockbox and get a gun out of it, you will have to trade it to someone to get it to another character.
