Since the reveal of Marvel's Avengers back in Jun 10, 2019 E3, the team at Crystal Dynamics explained explicitly that cosmetics would have no effect or advantage on players' gameplay levels. With that being said, cosmetics are options for players to choose to equip them for appearances. Marvel's Avengers Cosmetics can be purchased with our hard currency – aka in-game currency, aka our real money. *NO impacts on gameplay or game completion/progression
Component A (40 tiers) is free and allows players to unlock Rewards by completing daily and weekly challenges. After completing each challenge, players will earn Challenge Points to gain their Rewards. These Rewards are Resources, Units, Credits and Cosmetics items that are free in this 40 tiers.
Component B (Premium Rewards) is bonus Cosmetics items and extra challenges. Players can ONLY get this with real-life currency. Aside from bonus rewards, another major difference between Component A and B is the amount of credits return. Once players have completed all challenges in Premium Rewards and 40 tiers, players can earn back the FULL activation Credits, the in-game currency that players have paid for Premium Rewards. Players can spend Credits in the game.
Another distinguished feature is the ability to skip tiers and gain the rewards in 40 tiers faster. Players do not need to complete challenges in the 40 tiers to get the Cosmetics items if they have bought Credits for Premium Rewards.
