Suggestion: Unique guns for mercs

(Pitman) #1

After seeing Calader’s Arty concept art (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/dirty-bomb-arty) I thought how great this SCAR-like gun fits him. What if every merc got a special gun that only he has? On the twitch stream you said there was a discussion about more weapons vs less but more distinct weapons. The big positive of a system like that would be how easy it is balancing mercs and guns in the future when more and more mercs are in the game.
The big negative is the amount of work it takes. Models, texures, animations, sounds and whatever I forgot.

Well some mercs already have unique weapons like Bushwanker with TOPKEK-10, Rhino with his minigun, and I guess Vasilli with his snipers.

So I suppose the idea wouldn’t be too far off.

Technically Rhino’s minigun is an ability, not a weapon, and Phantom will have access to the KEK-10.

Phantom can also have the kek.

Expect Turtle to get the KEK as well, he’s been seen with it on promo pics.

This is what upsets me about loadouts having different weapons as what could be seen as signature to a merc is available to others.

The Blishlok was signature to turtle they said before since phantoms loadouts used to consist of a katana for a primary, pistol and another katana as his melee weapon.
