All the DLCs are cosmetic only and mostly there to support the devs, just buy the original game if you don't care about all that.

Brilliant, thanks for letting me know
To add to this, there's a decent chance you'll like the game enough to buy some of those DLC's at some point, just to support the awesome devs.
Yeah, this is my suggested route. Play the game, if you fall in love, buy the DLCs later. It might cost you a few quid more but if you like the game you'll likely REALLY LIKE IT.
The DLCs are purely cosmetic and the game itself is not riddled with monetisation, the thing that stands out to me the most is the fact the battle pass has no payed tier, which I really respect
DLCs are just skins for armour and guns. They are considered optional ways to 'donate'/support further development, and the devs thank you by giving you a few custom items, and making your name gold in chat so other players know you're a supporter. That's it.
Not only is there is no gameplay locked to DLCs, by far almost all the cosmetics are completely free, and always in-game. Battlepasses are free, and unearned cosmetics go into the loot pool for free. Hundreds of cosmetics to craft for free, hundreds upon hundreds that drop from mission chests.
Oh awesome, thanks for the info.
Oddly, the lack of microtransactions makes me want to support the Devs more!
