Melee/Ability Skins?


(Press E) #1

I remember hearing someone mention this a while ago, but is there any news on it?

I’d love to see loadout skins for stuff like melee weapons and abilities, like the REVIVR or minigun, and maybe even throwables and deployables.
Seeing the player’s skin on their arm might be good too. As it is, it’s the same with all rarities, which just feels weird.

I get it’s not very important, but I’m curious if the devs are still planning to even bother with it.

Also in first person view for some reason the skin isn’t existent on the hands and arms. They are just default colors unlike displayed in the loadout section where it shows the merc with the whole body in that skin.

Yeah, that’s what I meant by “Seeing the player’s skin on their arm might be good too. As it is, it’s the same with all rarities, which just feels weird.”
Sorry for the poor wording.

Why add an inspect animation for melee weapons if there aren’t any skins you can inspect? It seems kind of silly to not have included this.

if these skins are going to be added i would like if they were separate, like imagine flether witch bamboo bl, empire 9, bat, detonator, bombs, player skin… it would be just too much
soo unique skins for melee weapons/abilities and maybe seperate cases+crafting = more $$$ for devs

Imo I’d rather have my character fit a specific theme.

Plus, this way they don’t have to change how loadouts work. Different skins on the same loadout means they have to add something new for it. Otherwise it’s just the skins.

Containment War skinned Beckhill or Cricket Bat would be so sexy.

A cricket bat coated in barb wire ? :smiley:

Well just like all development with this game, it moves at a snails pace. We will probably see it in game sometime in 2018…maybe 19.

Yeah, I’m just curious if there are even plans for it at all. It feels like the type of thing the devs might just completely skip.

I’m sure it’s on their list. But while having something more important on their list they might change this later.
