It should be noted that the FN-01 suit cannot be directly purchased and is locked behind a new chest that will also contain pieces of the following sets: Triggerman Buck, Star Slayer Ruckus, Night Bane Cassie. Additionally, according to the PTS for the patch that went live, it seems that each chest roll will be 200 crystals.
