Warhammer 40,000: Darktidehas several currencies to keep track of, and most are available through the normal course of gameplay. The exception are Aquilas, the game’s premium currency. You won’t find Aquilas lying around the map like Plasteel or Diamantine, and you won’t receive any as mission rewards either.

Instead, Aquilas have to be purchased with real money, and can then be exchanged for cosmetics that you can’t get anywhere else. If you want your Operative to stand out among the faceless minions of the Inquisition, spending Aquilas is the way to make it happen.
