Overview

The P2W Vendor (or Transact 4 Victory in Praetoria) sells, for in-game currency, everything which players could spend real money on before the 2012 shutdown. It also offers access to some additional functionality. P2W Vendors are located in the tutorials, in the starting zones (Atlas Park, Mercy Island, and Nova Praetoria), Pocket D, and some additional locations such as replacing the jetpack vendors in Grandville and the Shadow Shard.
