Have they ever mentioned adding skins higher than cobalt?

(doxjq) #1

I know they’ve talked about adding a second generation of loadouts before but have they ever mentioned adding another higher rarity? I noticed the ranked mode ranks follow suit with loadouts with bronze, silver, gold, cobalt, but then there is elite. Any harm in adding a higher rarity called elite some time in the future? Of course I am talking well into the future - more important things to worry about right now. But I can see this happening eventually. Over time there are going to be people who have every possible skin in cobalt. Sniff is half way there already haha.

But again, this thread is asking if this has been discussed by the devs before, not a flame thread for everyone to tell me how bad of an idea it is.

Yes, it’s called Obsidian and Special Edition :wink:

its cobalt now, they only showed the look of the card (wite and red)
but gun made of diamond soo you could see inside of the gun… fancy!

Even if, how that would go in trade up ? 12-15k credit and what 8 cobalt ? that would be insanely long to farm. I’d love it!!

Also–> not possibility to get in case. = no newbies with it. Actual cards for experienced people

I’d want weapon engravings like what’s on the spy’s ambassador.

As @Runeforce said, Diamond was an early concept for a card rarity that simply never made it into the game. No skins were ever produced for it - only the card concept - so we will likely still never see it. Splash Damage have never mentioned any plans to add a higher rarity, nor do I imagine they ever will (aside from Obsidians/Special Editions).

Currently each cobalt card roughly costs around $25 to produce. If you added another tier and factor in that they take 6 cobalts to make… that’s $150 just for 1 card. That would be breaking point for a lot of people, and I can’t imagine anyone being happy with a skin that costs that much.

I’d love elite card cases at a certain level, like every 25 or something, give levels a reason, the can trade it in using cobalts til you get what you want.
