The shop contains a variety of agents, weapon skins, stickers and graffiti which the player can choose to purchase with their stars. A maximum of 6 stars can be earned per week except for week 1, where a maximum of 10 stars can be obtained. Any additional progress towards missions will be granted as an XP boost.
