Switch loadout in game

(Parmenion) #1

Hi,

What do you guys think of that?

I don’t know… I’ve thought about it, but what if it causes balance issues? Imagine a team suddenly going full Rhino, full Proxy, full Medic etc. That’s going to be extremely frustrating for you or your enemies… Well, of course the same thing can happen with the current loadout system, but it’s highly unlikely since 3 mercs are limiting your choices quite a lot.

If you could choose to play as any of the mercs at any time, It’s going to be like TF2 where people give up and go Spy or Sniper after getting repeatedly killed, causing you to lose every game. A braindead Medic is still better than a braindead Vassili imo.

It’s not what i mean, i suggest to switch loadout card for the 3 mercs you have in game (switch weapon and passive)

Honestly I like it how it is.

Oh, that’s what you meant. It could be useful, since sometimes I get carried away looking at all the different passives and the timer ends, locking my selection to a card i don’t want. I don’t think it’s very important though.

This has been discussed in many threads, some of them quite recently. Please use the search function to prevent duplicate threads. :slight_smile: It can be found at the top right of the page.

I think if we were able to change loadouts once a game has started, we’d end up spending a bunch of time out of game changing up loadouts and not actually playing (team one switch, team two switch to counter, etc).

What I would like to see is being able to apply the same merc 3 times to test loadouts/weapons which would help compare them etc.

Or even a training mode so we can test the weapons etc.
