Catch-Up Packs, Passes & Bundles
Four surfaces help you catch up on time you missed or top up — without ever buying raw power. The guiding rule across all of them: buy back the hours, never the ceiling. A paying player and a free player converge on the same strength; money only gets you there sooner.
| Surface | What it is | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Catch-Up Packs | One-time tiered bundles to fast-start a Kitchen + roster | 🎁 chip on your Base dashboard and the Bazaar |
| Kitchen Streak Pass | A monthly battle-pass ladder off your daily cooking streak | The streak flame on the Kitchen page |
| Currency Bundles | Direct top-ups of RSNC or Essence | Bazaar → Shop tab |
| Arena Season Pass | The Arena season battle pass (free + premium tracks) | Bazaar → Shop tab |
Every price below is quoted as its RSNC-parity figure (e.g. "2,000 RSNC ≈ $2"). In-app you pay with USDSC (or Card), and some surfaces also accept RSNC directly — the pay buttons on each surface show exactly which rails it takes. The in-app screen is always the source of truth for live prices and odds.
1. Catch-Up Packs
Catch-Up Packs are three one-time bundles that give a late starter (or a returning player) a real foothold in the Kitchen and the Arena. They cap gear at Rare on purpose — a foothold, not the summit. Everything lands directly in your inventory the moment you buy; there's no pack to open.
The three tiers
| Tier | Price (≈) | What's inside |
|---|---|---|
| Get Cooking | 2,000 RSNC ≈ $2 | 1,000 cooking ingredients (100× each of the 10 Stormswept base mats) · 15,000 RSNC · 4 buff snacks — one each of Echo Espresso, Photon Soufflé, Quasar Quiche, Gravity Cake |
| Get In The Fight (best value) | 5,000 RSNC ≈ $5 | A 15-piece Rare Stormswept battle-gear set (Striker · Anchor · Mender × 5 slots) · 3 Epic Avatar arts (cosmetic — zero power) · 1,000 cooking ingredients · 35,000 RSNC · 12 buff snacks (3× each of the four dishes) |
| All In | 6,500 RSNC ≈ $6.50 | Everything in Get In The Fight · 50,000 RSNC · a 1-month Signal subscription trial |
The four buff snacks are real dishes with real effects (see Snacks):
- Echo Espresso — a kitchen-XP boost
- Photon Soufflé — cuts cook time (cook-speed)
- Quasar Quiche — extra Avatar combat power in Journey
- Gravity Cake — +50% Journey bounty-XP for 24h
How they work
- One-time per account. You can buy each tier once, ever.
- Already own Get In The Fight? Buying All In only charges you the difference and delivers just the new part (the Signal month) — you're never double-billed for gear or RSNC you already own.
- The 3 Epic Avatar arts are cosmetic art skins only. They carry no combat power — power comes from your Avatars' stats and gear, never from art.
Where to find them
Look for the 🎁 Catch-Up Packs chip on:
- Your Base dashboard at play.rsnc.network
- The Bazaar
Tapping it opens the Catch-Up Packs window with all three tiers and a Buy (USDSC or Card) button on each.
Catch-Up Packs are open to all players — no operator flag or waitlist.
2. Kitchen Streak Pass
The Kitchen Streak Pass is a monthly battle pass built on your daily cooking streak. Cook at least once a day to advance the streak; each streak-day threshold on the ladder unlocks a reward. It has a Free track (everyone) and an optional Premium track.
One noun, one number, one choice: your streak is the number, cooking daily is how you grow it, and the only choice is whether to unlock Premium.
The ladder
Rewards unlock at these streak-day thresholds. Premium is extra on top of Free at each row:
| Streak day | Free track | Premium (extra) |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 25× Harmonic Herbs | 1× Echo Espresso (kitchen-XP snack) |
| 10 | 1× Gravity Cake (Journey bXP snack) | 1× Photon Soufflé (cook-speed snack) |
| 15 | 50× Echo Spores | 1× Rare Kitchen Gear — Stormswept Adept Hearth |
| 20 | 1× Quasar Quiche (Journey combat-power snack) | 2× Echo Espresso |
| 25 | 1× Photon Soufflé | 1× Rare Kitchen Gear — Stormswept Adept Whisk |
| 28 (clear) | 1× Echo Espresso + the "Season N Streaker" Discord title | Bonus snack bundle — 1× each of Echo Espresso, Photon Soufflé, Quasar Quiche, Gravity Cake |
How it works
- Progress = your streak. Cook once a day and your daily kitchen streak climbs; the pass position follows it up to day 28 (the clear).
- Monthly seasons. The pass resets each calendar month to a new season. Your raw streak number is never reset — only your position on this month's pass starts fresh, so you can climb the ladder again.
- Free is free. Every Free-track reward is claimable by anyone the moment you reach its day.
- Premium is a one-time unlock for the current season (≈ 1,000 RSNC ≈ $1). Unlocking it retroactively grants every Premium reward you've already passed, then keeps paying out as you climb — classic battle-pass style. Premium is also included free with an active Signal subscription.
- Claiming is safe to retry — each reward is one-time per season, so a double-tap can't pay you twice.
- Clear day 28 for the "Season N Streaker" Discord title.
Where to find it
Open the Kitchen and tap the streak flame / streak indicator at the top — that opens the Streak Pass window with the full ladder, your current day, and the Premium unlock button.
The Streak Pass is being rolled out operator-first, so it may not be visible on your account yet. When it's live for you, the streak flame opens the pass; until then it stays hidden. (Free cooking-streak play is unaffected — Streaks keep working as always.)
3. Currency Bundles
Currency Bundles are direct top-ups of the two soft currencies — RSNC and Essence. There are no items inside; you're buying currency outright, with bigger bundles giving a bonus %.
RSNC bundles
| Price (≈) | RSNC you get | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| $2 | 2,000 | — |
| $5 | 5,500 | +10% |
| $10 | 12,000 | +20% |
| $25 | 30,000 | +20% |
| $50 | 65,000 | +30% |
Essence bundles
| Price (≈) | Essence you get |
|---|---|
| $2 | 500 |
| $5 | 1,375 |
| $10 | 3,000 |
| $25 | 7,500 |
| $50 | 16,250 |
How they work
- One purchase per bundle per week. Each bundle SKU can be bought once per platform week (the week resets Monday 00:00 UTC). A bundle you've used this week shows greyed-out with its reset date.
- Payment rails: Essence bundles accept RSNC · USDSC · Card; RSNC bundles accept USDSC · Card. (You can't buy RSNC with RSNC.)
- Currency lands in your balance on purchase.
Where to find them
The Currency section on the Bazaar → Shop tab, alongside the Season Pass and Subscriptions.
Currency Bundles roll out operator-first — the section stays hidden until it's enabled for your account.
4. Arena Season Pass (Battle Pass)
Separate from the Kitchen Streak Pass, the Arena Season Pass is the Arena's seasonal battle pass. It has a Free track and a Premium track, and follows one firm rule — the firewall:
- Free track = all the power. Every reward that grants gameplay strength (RSNC, materials, world caches, Essence, avatar vouchers, energy refills) lives on the Free track.
- Premium track = opportunity, never power. Premium buys more shots / sooner — things like tier skips, energy refills, and stipends — never a higher ceiling. A premium holder and a free player reach exactly the same power; premium just gets there faster.
You climb it by playing the Arena season; each tier's rewards are claimed from the pass. Exact tier rewards are set per season, so check the in-app ladder for the current line-up.
Where to find it
The Season Pass panel on the Bazaar → Shop tab. It opens to all players once the Arena reaches its qualifying season (currently live).
