I need help with this new crafting thing

(DeadAlive) #1

Hi all,

I’m back after a long break…been playing other games. I see crafting has replaced the old system. I considered the pricing of the old system to be awful, so I only used it a couple of times just to try it out

There’s usually only 1 or 2 bronze loadout cards per merc that interest me, so saving up and paying credits seems the better way to go.

Now I’m checking out this new system, and I may be running into a bug or something, I don’t know, but it seems like it’s still a pricey gamble for bronzes.

I’ve won a crafting kit and weapon kit so far with this event, but when I select each one and then hit the crafting button, nothing different happens compared to just going straight to crafting.

I’ve already recycled enough to get about 4600 fragments, but it still shows a credit cost of 1500, even with the crafting kit. Isn’t the kit supposed to make it zero credit cost? And the weapon kit doesn’t do anything either. It doesn’t let me select the preferred weapon.

I have not clicked the main crafting button that shows the 1500 credit cost as that seems like the final button. I didn’t want to gamble that it takes me to an options page that I can back out of.

So, I’m not sure what is going on, plus, outside of using this free stuff, would you recommend I just continue to buy bronzes for credits rather than gamble?

Thanks for any help!

Crafting and Weapon Kits can only be used on vanity rarities, Silver, Gold and Cobalt.

On the crafting screen for those 3, there is a button by the “make with X Credits” that is “make with Y Crafting Kits.” You use them there. There is also a button on the card that says “Select Primary.” That is where you use Weapon Kits.

If you only want one loadout for each merc you play and don’t care about skins, just save up and buy it in Bronze. During the event, you actually gain fragments from rerolling Iron, Bronze, Silver and Gold cards, so if you plan on collecting, it might not be a terrible idea to craft a lot.

I had the same thing at first and thought it was a bug but it was my fault : I didn’t understand the way it works.
You just need to be sure how many crafting and/or weapons kits you need to craft a certain loadout.

I think for silver, for example, you need 2 weapons kits (if you want to chose the main weapon) and one crafting kit (or 5000 credits), if you do not have them in the inventory, you just can’t craft and you won’t be able to see the button.

The fact is at this moment, the indications are really not clear or not present at all.

Try this, chose a character, go for a silver loadout, click chose weapon. In the opened tab, you have the 3 main weapons of the character and you have under each weapon the amount of weapons kits needed, like that : 2x⌖ (little target icon = weapon kit).
On the main crafting window, you have CRAFT WITH 5000 CREDITS and CRAFT WITH (BOX ICON) 1 (it’s a box icon but it refers to the crafting kits which are represented by pliers).

Hope it helps :slight_smile:

Ok, thanks guys. I see it all showing up now. The only thing is, how do I get more weapon kits? I don’t see them in the store. Are they only available from the crate drops?

They are only from Arsenal crate. You get 1 case everytime you lvl up.

The odds of landing weapon kits are incredibly low, so best of luck to you. I’ve leveled up 10 times since they were released and I still only have a wopping total of 1. It’s something they really need to address.

Just buy Bronzes from the Shop.
