At least Infinite's battle pass system doesn't have FOMO, because paid battle passes don't expire, and you can buy old battle passes at any time. Starting with Season 2, battle passes give back enough credits to buy the next battle pass, which means you only need to buy 2 battle passes to have full access to every battle pass.
All the FOMO is in the events (limited time mini battle passes) and weekly rewards.
Correct me if I'm wrong or if they've changed this. But don't you get a double experience (not sure the term they use) boost with the current battle pass? So, playing older battle passes without the current pass means slower progress.
At least it's not locked out, but still crappy FOMO tactics.
