CP required for Spec Ops – Increases over the years

Spec Ops 34 that just ended was the 2nd most expensive Spec Op (535 Command Points worth of deploys needed).   Yet, the one prior, Spec Op 33 was the 3rd cheapest Spec Op ( 180 Command Points worth of deploys needed).

However, overall we can see that over the years the cost for command points has been increasing for every Spec Op.   This is to assume that one playing has none of the required characters needed to complete that spec op.   See Graph Below.

More Specific Facts

The most expensive Specs in terms of command points was Spec Ops 25 – Runaways with a whopping total of 716 command points needed to complete!

The most common amount asked has been 315 Command Points ( 5 times in Special Operations: 6,7,8,12 and 21).

The total average amount is the sum of all command points asked each Spec Op divided by the total no. of Spec Ops.

CP Sum = 33+161+180+240+240+240+248+261+273+276+290+315+315+315+315+315+318
+335+335+358+360+360+368+380+380+383+383+415+425+443+449+515+535+716 = 11,475

11,475 divided by 34 (total no. of Spec Ops) = 337.5 Average Command Points Asked

The average without Spec Op 1 (33 Cps asked) is 11,442 divided by 33 spec ops = 346.7 Average Command Points Asked

The average without Spec Op 1 and 2 is 11,281 divided by 32 spec ops = 352.5 Average Command Points Asked

The average without Spec Op 1, 2 and oddball most expensive SO25 (716CPs asked) is 10,565 / 31 spec ops = 340.8
