if you dont have a metric shit tonne of consumables for glimmer then you have been failing at the game. Even if you dont have weapon boosts you should have so much glimmer ones to buy the damn weapon boosts. Besides these event boosts can be achieved out of the candy bags which take all of 10 minutes to fill up and they disappear at the end of the event, I havent bought any ive already to start burning them because I have more than enough. This isnt even close to pay to win.
