Back 4 Blood has a system called Supply Lines which fills the role of cosmetic and upgrade unlocks within the multiplayer game. They can be compared to an optional battle pass, but they are free and have more of an effect on the game.

In Back 4 Blood, players will be able to find the Supply Lines by going to their menus or by going to Fort Hope. As players sift through the Supply Lines section, the list of rewards becomes clear. Everything on that given menu needs to be unlocked in order after choosing a line.

While there are sprays and new skins for players to unlock, cosmetics aren't the only aspect of the Supply Lines. There are also new cards and upgrades to unlock alongside the cosmetic items. With everything combined, there is certainly a lot to work through.

When players initially go to the Supply Lines menu in Back 4 Blood, the Starter Line will need to be completed first. Once all of the unlocks are cleared in the Starter Line, players can look through all of the other available lines. They can begin any line whenever they would like, but each unlock in the line that follows needs to be purchased in order.

To complete all of the Supply Lines, players will need Supply Points in Back 4 Blood, and plenty of them at that.
