This is one of what used to be known as “Elite Skins”: alternate models for the mercs, sort of like the Founders skins but without the exclusivity. A number of concept designs were seen during the Alpha for various mercs that were not part of the “Founders 5”, but to my knowledge only 2 were ever made into actual game models (and even then they were never available for us to play with): the Arty above and the Bushwhacker below (from the DB FB page).

No idea if these will ever make it into the actual game…

They definitely should use as another type of card, not Obsidian since the 4 Obsidians and the upcoming Phoenix Obsidian’s design didn’t change, only colors.[/quote]

The founders are obsidian as well and they changed.[/quote]

I meant like closed beta cards where it was for Fragger, Proxy, Arty and Vassili.[/quote]

Yeah, but the founder cards are obsidians that changed the design of the merc, so why can’t these ones be obsidian?[/quote]

Well I mean, founder Obsidians have their overall appearance of design changed. But closed beta Obsidians only had colors changed. So having changed overall appearance of the designs changed would be categorized as founders if put as Obsidians.

If we ever get other skins that are not straight recolors, there is no telling what they will be called. Like I said before, they used to be referred to as “Elite Skins”, but who can tell in the future… Either way it’s very unlikely they will be called Founders since that term is specific to the people who contributed in the early phases of the game.

I do hope this arty skin will come into play one day, cause it looks GLORIOUS
