Updating my review for 1.0: Devs have seemingly given up on the game despite the 1.0 release. Nothing was really updated, they haven't fixed large bugs that have been present for years. The 1.0 release created new bugs and the devs haven't remotely responded about them despite some of them being game breaking (loading game into infinite black screen, half of the map loading).
There is nothing pay to win about the game, especially since the default loadouts now have all the commonly used perks... but they hardly give any advantage and are more play style specific. Overall the outlook on this game is poor at the moment despite the player base increasing by 400% on 1.0 release day. But it's free to try so there's that.
