Battlefunds were an in-game currency within Battlefield Heroes and Battlefield Play4Free that was purchased for real world money and allowed players to access certain items such as weapon or clothing. They also gave players the ability to purchase items for longer periods of time and even allow them to be permanently purchased. Battlefunds had to be bought in blocks of 700 ($5 USD), and could be purchased from the in-game store or via SMS. They were replaced by Play4Free Funds on January 18th, 2012.[1]
Some exlusive items include:
Payment Options
Items can be purchased for a limited duration of time or permanently with the exception of widgets. Widgets are available as package of a certain number of uses, like the Repair widget, or available for a time duration, like the XP Boost widget.
VP Exchange Rate
Player cannot buy funds with Valor points and vice versa. Despite this, the average exchange rate is 1 BF is about 30 VP.
Calculations:
Super/Uber Weapons:
1 Day: 450 VP
14 Days = 210 BF
→ 14 Days: 6300 VP
→ 1 Day = 15 BF
⇒ 1BF = 30VP
Bandages:
10 Bandages = 100 VP
50 Bandages = 35 BF
→ 50 Bandages = 500 VP = 35 BF
⇒ 1BF = 20 VP
Throwing Knife:
5 Knives = 250 VP
45 Knives = 150 BF
→ 45 Knives = 2250 VP = 150 BF
⇒ 1BF = 15 VP
Football:
5 Balls = 200 VP
50 Balls = 140 BF
→ 50 Balls = 2000 VP = 140
⇒ 1BF = 14,3 VP
