More "bread-crumbs" in the game files.

(Faraleth) #1

[PLEASE NOTE: As usual, these may be nothing and are entirely subject to change. None of them are in the game yet, although all of these were seemingly added to the game-files during the Containment War Update.]

New Augments:

The augments “Blitz” and “Capper” are located in the augment image files. “Blitz” is a scouter augment, while “Capper” is a support augment. There are no details on these, and no information as to whether they will ever made it into the game… But they certainly exist as concept. “Armour piercing” that is also in this image, has been in the game files for quite a while, and may simply be a scrapped concept, but I wanted to include it for those who don’t know about it (it’s original concept was 15% bonus damage to EV from regular bullets).

Ability Icons:

These abilities are all fairly self explanatory, the one that might be the most interesting is the “flash bang” icon. However, in appearance it is the SAME as the “smoke grenade”, although the smoke grenade does have a separate image file. The names next to them are the raw file-names, hence the underscores. There is also the “spotting scope” which is currently not assigned to any merc, nor future release merc.

Merc Mission Portraits:

These images show the mercs for the new mission art, but… Notice something a little lacking? No Turtle. The only unreleased mercs here are Thunder and Aimee, so does this mean we will be seeing them before Turtle? The earlier “Blitz” augment might indicate so… But there’s no conclusive evidence on this.

Combat Arms Case:

And finally, this was also added! No announcements or anything thus far as to what these are for, but we’ve already seen the Combat Arms loadout cards in the game files prior to now, and now we have the case images in the game files too. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see… I have also added a large image below in the spoiler:

============================================================

I hope some of you found this useful or insightful! There may be more little secrets and bits of information left to uncover, but this is all I could find thus far. :3 If any of you have any theories or ideas about these, feel free to comment!

Super curious about that Combat Arms case.

(watsyurdeal) #3

Looks like they’re adding augments for objectives, if so, good, hopefully Phantom gets stuff like this for sneaky caps. That’d be awesome.

Did I just see a merc called ‘Slugger’?

@Kaur I didn’t include that because “Slugger” is Fletcher’s old name, and “BBQ” is Stoker’s old name. There’s nothing new there, I’m afraid :frowning: Those names were from alpha. Not really sure why they are back in the game though, lol.

(Yes) #8

Slugger and BBQ are probably Fletcher and Stoker, respectively.

Well, everything else(except the case) you posted is leftovers from alpha so why not include this as well.

I know the merc abilities are, but I don’t recall the flashbang or spotting scope - or even the Blitz augment. The Capper one seemed familiar, but wasn’t sure. I tried not to include things which I knew were in earlier versions of the game, and weren’t returning (such as the images for throwing knives, and those names) :stuck_out_tongue:

(sentimentalDime) #11

Armor piercing was in the game in the Closed Beta, it made your guns do 15% more damage to the EV.

(Faraleth) #12

@sentimentalDime Yep, I wrote that on there. :slight_smile:

BBQ instead of Stoker.

Wtf.

…is that John Cena’s hat?

I think Faraleth was trying to avoid spoilers hence leaving something out of the original post, but since I like to let people decide for themselves, here’s what was omitted.

I’m hoping for an April 1st update with some John Cena files.

HA! I KNEW IT! The capper perk is a merc specific perk!!

EDIT: Also, I’d like to point out that Thunder and Aimee have had a portrait before and Turtle has not. So it’s not really confirmation that Thunder or Aimee will come out before Turtle, merely that they haven’t taken the time to create a portrait for him yet.

I just hope we don’t need to play Combat Arms for that crate.

(N8o) #19

Hopefully capper allows the quicker capping of objectives. Would be cool :slight_smile:

Honestly? It’s probably for people who have CA accounts and might want to transfer over to Dirty Bomb once CA is closing.
