what do i need to do in order to get them all.

i have 5 project cores with me and 2 augment cache fragments

edit: im talking about the 3 new project skins and the 2 icons to get the borders for these skins.

It is not possible to obtain all 3 of the new First Strike icons without spending a bit of RP (beyond what's needed to buy the skins in the first place). You don't get enough cores from the IP caches for that; altogether those 4 caches (and the single Augment Cache you can make with the fragments you get in the process) get you 12 guaranteed Project Cores with 2 fragments left over.

Best-case scenario: you can obtain enough Project Cores by buying, at minimum, 3 additional Augment Caches with 885 RP.

Worse-case scenario: you get unlucky and none of the Augment Caches you open contain a fragment for a new cache, so you need to buy 5 additional Augment Caches with 1475 RP.

In either case you need to open 5 Augment Caches. The best-case assumes that you get 4 more fragments during this; 1 to go with the 2 fragments you're guaranteed to have left over, and 3 more to make yet another cache.

Double-checking to make sure I thought it through correctly. I think I got it right.

So, the skins you'll get by purchasing them directly.

For all icons that unlock the boarders you'll need a total of 21 cores. With all IP-boxes you should have 11 cores right now (4 left if you already crafted 1 icon).

More Cores you'll get throught Augment Caches, each one includes 2. So, when you want all skins+icons, you'll have to buy the skins directly and get an x5 Augment Cache Bundle with it.

Then again, you could just take the Project:Disruption Bundle that includes all + the ward.

edit: nvm first strike boarders aren't included in this

not at all, you'll just need 3*7=21 cores for every icon at the end
