The new Thunderbolts Season is upon us, which means it’s time to take another look at the contents of the Medal Shop and analyze the prices. Let’s take a look at how many Medals this season’s Conquest exclusive variant will cost you.
You have four weeks until the end of the season to earn enough Medals for the rewards. Make sure to spend them all on the Medal Shop before the season ends! If you have leftover Medals at the end of the season, each Medal will be worth 0.15 Boosters for a random card. For example: 100 Medals will convert to 15 Boosters.
Season Start: April 2, 2024 at 11 AM Pacific Time
Season End: April 7, 2024 at 11 AM Pacific Time

Different Strategies In April 2024
| Strategy | Medals | % diff relative to the cheapest |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest | 2,695 | |
| Optimal | 4,170 | +54.73% |
| Premium | 6,345 | +135.44% |
A few different strategies were chosen for the chart, and each corresponds to the thee major types of players.
The strategy of the cheapest purchases is, as expected, based on the fact that you don’t like the Conquest mode and want to get the reward as soon as possible. Also, if possible, we chose as many different awards as possible, as long as the price stayed the same.
The optimal strategy is related to getting the maximum progress value when choosing nine items to buy. We also select variants and other items, the purchase of which will allow you to make the final cost lower. It’s supposed to be the most balanced strategy for a player who wants to get the most important and necessary items from the Medal Shop.
The premium strategy is based on the fact that a player wants all the resources and cosmetics that are only sold in the Medal Shop. This is the most expensive strategy that will require you to play a lot of games in Conquest.
For all strategies, it’s taken into account that when you buy a ticket, you get Medals back when you use it. So, for example, if you buy a ticket to the Gold Tier for 300 Medals and use it, you get 75 Medals just for that. This ultimately makes the cost of this purchase equal to 225 Medals.
What’s Changed

| September 2023 (4 week) | 3,770 | 4,320 | 6,070 |
| October 2023 (5 week) | 3,195 | 4,545 | 7,050 |

| December 2023 (4 week) | 2,870 | 3,670 | 5,845 |
| January 2024 (5 week) | 2,695 | 4,170 | 6,345 |
| February 2024 (4 week) | 2,870 | 3,670 | 5,845 |
| March 2024 (4 week) | 2,870 | 3,670 | 5,845 |
| April 2024 (5 week) | 2,695 | 4,170 | 6,345 |
The April season, in terms of the Conquest Medal Shop content, looks absolutely identical to the January 2024 season. 5 weeks, the same prices, resources, and a similar set of cosmetics. But I want to highlight the return of 300 Gold to the Conquest Medal Shop, which is a good trend; honestly, I was afraid it wouldn’t come back. Moreover, the value of Token Tuesdays may now increase since we’ve received a new and improved Token Tuesday with a new price and content. Therefore, the additional Gold looks good, even with the overall decrease in value for bundles.
Thus, there’s nothing particularly interesting this season; as usual, defeat opponents, farm medals, and have great snaps. Good luck!
