The DB Genome Project - Release 3.0


(DB Genome editor) #1

TL;DR: New release of the loadouts trees, still need your help to plug the remaining holes.

Due to the large number of changes to the loadout structures introduced by the Rhino & Kira update and the June 1st one, I’ve had to implement several changes to my loadout trees presentation. The most obvious impact of these updates has been the increase in the number of available non-Obsidian loadouts from 30 per merc (1 Default / 3 Lead / 5 Iron / 6 Bronze / 7 Silver / 8 Gold) to nearly 90 (1 Default / 8 Lead & Iron / 9 Bronze and above (8 sets total)). Clearly there was no way to present each and every one on a single page, never mind trying to collect pictures for 18 separate extremely rare Cobalt loadouts for every merc!

So I decided to provide the full spread for the first 3 levels only (Lead, Iron and Bronze) since that’s where there is an actual progression, and simply provide samples of the higher-rarity alternate skins available for each of the Bronze loadouts. That made my life easier and will hopefully help reinforce the notion that there are no advantages above Bronze, only fancier skins (but some of these are seriously sweet…).

As you can see, there are still a number of loadouts I’m missing, and not just the rarer ones. You’ll also notice that the number of Lead and Iron loadouts are not consistent between mercs. Sadly that reflects the info I have so far. People don’t brag too much about the Lead and Iron loadouts they’ve got, so my data gathering has pretty much been limited to what I could capture from my own case openings. If you happen to have some of these missing or unlisted loadouts, please take a moment to screenshot them (highest possible resolution please) and post them here.

So… i got 3 Golden Fraggers with a different gun shown in this tree. Is that weird or what… :pensive:
BR-16 (2x same card, 1 Other but still BR-16)

Also, My fletcher seems to have different augments (Gold fletcher) even a different shotgun :slight_smile:

Let me know if u want the screenshots. thanks

Beautiful. We need to find this thread a permanent home somewhere. Guides?

@prismaticAdmiral there is nothing unusual about your cards, you must have missed the note on the left of the Silver / Gold / Cobalt row that says: “Alternate Skins (available for all Bronze loadouts)” :wink:

No way I’m going to collect 63 Silver, Gold and Cobalt cards that are otherwise identical to the Bronze ones already shown, I just wanted to show a sample of what the other 7 sets look like. In fact, I have since confirmed that all Bronze loadouts also break down into corresponding Iron and Lead loadouts, so I might rework things again to highlight that, basically show the 9 Bronze loadouts with samples of the rarer alternate skins for the same loadouts on top, and samples of the depreciated versions under.

I’m also working on adding pics of the complete merc skins for each level on separate pages, so if you own some Gold and Cobalt loadouts and would like to help, drop me a PM or leave a note here and I’ll get back to you on how I need the pictures taken.

@MissMurder

I can post my next update there. When you say permanent, are you thinking of a sticky?
