Im not a big fan how mercs like hunter, sparks, rhino, and nader dont get their weapons a skin too, since thats pretty much what youll be using a majority of the time
Maybe even mercs like stoker, aura, and guardian, can have their deployables get a skin idk
That’s not my point.
I said you’re not the first person to ask for this, because it’s been asked for so many times that there’s no point in making a thread about it.
Just have to be careful with which deployable abilities get skins. Making something like the snitch neon pink for example obviously wouldn’t be great for a deployable that’s supposed to blend in, more or less.
same goes for the concussion grenade, which is bright yellow opposed to fragger’s green grenade. It’s good to know whether you have to look away or not
Devs already addressed this. It isn’t happening per the amount of animation rework that would need to be redone.
Where’d they say this? Last I heard they were planning it but it was a low priority, understandably
Shouldn’t be much more difficult than the work they already did on melee weapon skins too, so idk why this would be different.
But haven’t you seen the skins for weapons? Hideous skins, almost as if a child created them.
Idk, if anything I feel like deployables and abilities should be the hard ones, not primary weapon abilities like the revivr or crossbow. I mean, I can’t imagine they’re handled much differently from normal weapons in the game’s backend.
It might take a little bit of tweaking to make it work, but I doubt it would be the end of the world. The cricket bat’s skin is evidence enough they can make weapons with decals over them work, so I’m sure they can bring basic skins to even “complexly” textured weapons like the rocket launcher and revivr. If not, they could definitely do the grenade launcher or minigun, since those have like, no detail besides their base colour. Of course this is just speculation, idk how SD programmed everything, but it shouldn’t be impossible
And hey, it would look pretty awesome lol
