Will you miss lead/iron cards?

(TheStrangerous) #1

Devs plan to remove them, according to Reddit AMA.

How will it affect you? Will default loadout cards have 3 augments, like their bronze and higher rarity equivalents?

Personally I’m indifferent, since once I got all 9 loadouts (various 3 augmented rarities) for each merc, I never bothered with lead and iron.

I see it also as a good thing, since P2W accusations might die down a bit, coming from stupid people. But then, imagining how this will affect crafting is a tricky thing…

no

It will remove my ability to use lead Vassili, Aimee and Redeye all with PDP, which is my only purpose in the game. If it’s removed, I will be forced to uninstall.

Also it will negatively affect equipment cases and pretty much ruin the economy

I imagine those who despise the double time augment won’t be very pleased at all.

I will miss those.
I really hate the look of the bronze loadouts, honestly I think that is the worst.

Generally

  • If I have a nice special edition card or a cobalt, I use them.
  • If I don’t, then I use the default card.
  • If I’d prefer other weapons, I use lead
  • If the loadout has good augments, I use Iron.
  • When the 3rd augment is really that useful, I craft a silver (for example the Phoenix card with hochfir and extra supplies+potent packs)

If the Lead and Iron cards get removed, do I have to craft silver cards if I don’t like the default weapons or look ugly bronze? :’(
Have to see the new crafting costs to decide, but I reckon iron cards are cheaper now than silvers in the new system.

Also, my all-time favourite loadout is my Lead D44 Kira, which was one of my first drops, and I still use it.

  • I have a bunch of iron GEN1 Iron cards (melee Sparks, 2 eyed Proxy)

Ill really only miss their skins over anything. I would like if they gave iron card skins to bronze loadouts though.

(watsyurdeal) #7

Nope

(TitaniumRapture) #8

Why would they remove the skins? It doesnt make any sense.

I’d be satisfied if there were 3 augmented default loadout cards, permanently unlockable, and if next gen arrived, then the simple upgrade button, at some cost, should do the trick.
Merc’s default skins are my favorite looking, because of the classic feel to it.
And where’s my default skin graphics option, SD? Don’t want this game to end up with art style killed by cosmetics, like in TF2.

I’ll miss the ability to troll players in CMM with those :smiley:

Seriously, it smells like a huge rework of actual loadout system. Deleting lead and iron cards means that our actual bronze rarity will have actual lead and iron skins as variant OR skins would be finally separated from loadout ?!!!

Standard equipment cases could be replaced by skin cases (skins for mercs OR primary weapon OR secondary weapon OR, why not, melee weapon ?) and we would have a new case where we will get the skinless loadout for mercs. Duplicate drop would be automatically replaced by fragments.

Not in the slightest

Low level trolling will suffer, but us high level trolls that run CMM with default cards will continue to reign supreme :wink:

I don’t understand why they cannot allow reload canceling with M1 button…
Did that in TF2, did that in FoF, but not in DB…

Anyone have a link to the AMA?

I like the iron and leads over bronze thats for sure. With the new loadout system with swapping out stuff with skins and weapons and maybe augments? I don’t know why they would just get rid of them.
