"Diamond" loadout card in the files?

(toastytoast) #1

Just found this this in the files (not claiming to the first to find this, I was just curious if anyone knew anything about it):

This was pretty much the prototype for Cobalt cards. Don’t expect then in game. :stuck_out_tongue:

i still remember Purple Twitch Loadout card on Kira…
the feeling that i will never get it.

F@#$ you cant use emoji from key board errr

Well that in that case

:’( no kira twitch card

(Your worst knifemare.) #5

Wonder what kind of skins wouldve came with it.

(TepidJesus) #6

@Eox Well…since it is already there SD might as well use it. I mean, it looks pretty cool and I think everyone would like a new card rarity (not special edition) and the new skins that go with it.

(Sorotia) #7

Going by the colors…it looks just like Founders Obsidian…but with his base appearance.

Tbh if they made the skin an actual pattern similar to the card’s colour scheme, I think that would be awesome to have.
Maybe another fancy shader effect too instead of just a straight colour, like Fragment skins.

Imagine if diamond was another rarity above cobalt, lol. Only dropped in normal cases with a 0.05% drop chance or something, and no option to craft

@STARRYSOCK This game does not need another unattainable item like what you are suggesting. I’m currently level 37 and I still have not got acobalt from a regular case, so imagine how bad it would be if there was an even lower chance of getting these diamond cards.

It is one thing to make something rare, it is another thing to make a unattainable and in my opinion giving something a sub 1% chance of dropping is simply stupid.

I would much rather be able to work towards getting rare item, rather than leaving it to pure RNG.

Maybe it could be attained be completing a certain number of missions (a lot). Maybe it could have its own mission (something huge) that once you actually got a diamond card mission (there’s your RNG aspect) that it would be something for you to work towards.

@TepidJesus

It took me till my 50’s to get a cobalt…and I’ve gotten 3 total and all of them have been terrible loadouts lol

(ImSploosh) #11

@TepidJesus I’m level 58 and have never gotten a Cobalt from a regular case. I received one from an Elite case that I got from an Arsenal Crate at level 50 something. I think Cobalts were meant to be something you grind for (crafting) or get insanely lucky! Sadly, without a decent crafting system in place right now, we’re stuck with insane luck which people like myself, don’t have.

Anyways, I’d like more rarities, but just different ways to obtain them. I like your mission idea. I wouldn’t want something completely random like a .005% chance to get one from a case with no other options.

I was sub level 10 when I first got a Cobalt. If only we had trading.

(Eox) #13

Very few chances that those “diamond” loadouts would come back in some way. Those were in the game files before the Cobalts as far as I know.

(Press E) #14

@TepidJesus I’m level 83 and have literally never gotten a cobalt from any case whatsoever.
I just think it would be a fun idea. Just because it exists doesn’t mean you have to get it, but I feel it would be interesting to have some super exclusive card out there.
I remember when I was young, me and my friends would always make up stories of an ultra-rare item hidden in the game. I loved that feeling of an almost completely unheard of item that was so rare almost no one had seen it. I don’t see the issue of including a purely cosmetic item of that rarity in DB.

Special card event when game comes outof beta .000000001% chance unused special edition loadout cases ???

Lol n/m that wouldnt be fair or work out right

But please remove the twitch logo and give us the skin any way

Just as @Eox said, “This was pretty much the prototype for Cobalt cards. Don’t expect them in game.” :slight_smile:

(KangaJoo) #17

You know what would be nice for consumers and SD? Let me buy any cobalt I want for like a couple bucks. Grinding is annoying for consumers and doesn’t actually net the devs any money.

(SnakekillerX) #18

But then no one would spend money on things like Elite cases, so that would be a pretty bad move for SD if they wish to keep making money on their game.

It also removes the rarity of cobalt cards, making them less special.

(Chris Mullins) #19

You can already do that with Bronze Cards. Cobalts are super rare and are meant to be hard to get.
