Certified /hdg/ fag with 500 hours here. I'd say for the price it's worth it; the only issue you may run into is the warbonds. Warbonds are essentially battlepasses that don't expire and give you extra shit like guns and armor. They cost super credits, which are a type of currency.
You can get super credits in game pretty easily, you just gotta look around the map for them. A warbond cost 1000 and you can earn 10 and sometimes rarely 100 after visiting locations and picking them up. There's a mod out there that makes this easier, or you can just pay like $10 for the SC. You also earn SC from the warbond, so you can use that to unlock more warbonds faster, and these unlocks are much more than the drops.
None are "required" but I'd recommend you get the supercitizen edition which gives you one of the best warbonds for free along with the game and some free shit.
Also game is very much alive, despite how much we hate Swedes at /hdg/. Plus you can join lobbies set up by other Anons.
Game is pretty fun with a solid gameplay loop and it's a lot of fun with Anons too
