Expansions Hub and TarCoin

The Expansions Hub has arrived - an in-game store offering a more flexible selection of items than the “Expansions” page on the official website. Below are answers to some common questions about the Expansions Hub. ![Patch notes image](https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/45781996/d212ffa30de59c2cf190a4eb2c6daf46c0929095.jpg) ### What is TarCoin? TarCoin is an in-game currency used exclusively within the Expansions Hub. TarCoins can be found in raids. Once you successfully extract with them, they will automatically be converted into your Tarcoin account balance. TarCoins can also be purchased via the Expansions Hub, the official website or Steam. After purchasing a TarCoin pack, you can spend the coins on any in-game items available in the Expansions Hub. ![Patch notes image](https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/45781996/f97c706f735c73c2e7e5f3a02faee2233033f243.jpg) ### Does the Expansions Hub offer the same items as the website? The Expansions Hub includes many familiar items, such as: - PMC apparel - Stash lines - PvE Upgrade - PMC voice packs However, the Expansions Hub also provides several unique benefits that are not available on the official website. ### What advantages does the Expansions Hub offer compared to the website? In addition to the convenience of in-game access, the Expansions Hub introduces several new features: - Purchasing apparel tops and bottoms separately without having to buy an entire set - Apparel bundles that combine multiple outfits at a discounted price - Value packs for stash lines ### What are apparel bundles? Each bundle contains multiple clothing sets grouped around a shared theme or gameplay usage. All bundles include a discount, making them a great option for players who want more variety in their wardrobe. ### What happens if I purchase a clothing bundle that includes items I already own? If you already own some of the items included in a bundle, the final price of the bundle will not change for the following bundles: USEC Veteran Apparel Pack, BEAR Veteran Apparel Pack, PMC Veteran Apparel Pack, Executive PMC Pack. For all other clothing bundles, the bundle price will be automatically reduced based on the items you already own. ### Why can't I purchase stash line bundles? Stash line bundles are only available if purchasing them would not exceed the maximum stash size. For example, if you have already purchased 22 additional stash lines, you will only be able to purchase the 40/80 and 20/80 stash line bundles. If none of the stash line bundles are available, you can still purchase 2 or 4 stash lines separately. ### Is there any difference between buying an item on the website and buying it through the Expansions Hub? No. If an item is available both in the Expansions Hub and on the official website, it’s exactly the same regardless of where it is purchased. ### Can I upgrade my game edition through the Expansions Hub? Yes. The only difference is that game edition upgrades are purchased using real-world currency rather than TarCoins. ### What is the special 2,000 TarCoins bundle? It’s a one-time TarCoin pack that provides 100% bonus value. It can only be purchased once per account. **Please note: When purchasing TarCoin packs through Steam, there may be a slight delay before they are credited to your account.**
