"disarmament" option for event and premium squads

Suggestions

Introduction

The discussion of changing weapons for premium and event squads has been raised time and time again. Today, I’ve decided to present my proposal for an option called “disarmament” as well as my reasons for why it’s necessary.

How does disarmament work?

This is an option that appears at the top of the equipment section of any event or premium soldier. By default, this option is off, when this option is turned on, the event weapon is turned off and replaced with the basic weapons of each faction. You can then replace that weapon with other weapons.

Will event and premium weapons be usable in other squads?

No, there are two reasons for that:
1- I think the developers are against it, the discussion of changing weapons has been raised many times, but it has never been done, so this suggestion is based on the failure of previous suggestions.
2- It would make the balance very complicated, if the weapons could be used in other places, even the number of crowded squads will be very influential in balancing and equality of factions, you will probably see a lot of protests like “why do Americans have 9 Liu rifle” and …

What happens to squads that have modifiable weapons?

Nothing will change about them.

What will happen to the paratroopers?

Paratroopers with interchangeable weapons are a Soviet exclusive. I am against this exclusive and believe that all factions should have it. But I feel like the developers are against this. So if that is true, they can exclude paratroopers from this change. As I said, I would like this option for all squads, but I don’t want this offer to be dropped because of paratroopers. So it’s all up to the developers.

An interesting suggestion about additional soldiers

We recently received additional slots in Premium and Event Squads for Engineers and AT Gunners. So we can give them a similar option. The “disarmament” option is enabled by default for these soldiers, but by disabling this option, they will receive the weapon associated with that squad.

Why should we be able to change weapons?

There are many reasons, I will mention some of them:

1- Premium squads becoming more valuable: They are no longer limited to one BR and one specific weapon, and you can have their cool outfits everywhere. Also, many squads are currently very undervalued, with many squads being obsolete due to recent power creeps or stuck in unpopular BRs like 1 and 4.

2- Some nationalities will be exempt from the exclusive use of certain BRs: There is currently only one French squad, Chinese squads are exclusive to BR2 and similar things for countries like Australians and …, with this option you can bring your New Zealand boys and French amatives with you in all battles!

3- Why don’t we listen to the players? This is something that has been brought up many times, a lot of people want it. Premium squads will become more popular and more people will buy them. It’s a win-win deal, why not do it?

Thank you for your attention!

If I’m reading this correctly, are you saying that we should be able to unequipt premium/event weapons and put them in a separate inventory only for the premium/squad. Is this right?

Those weapons cannot be used anywhere else. Only its own squad.

In that case, this sounds like a pretty good idea because I’ve paid for the squad so I should be allowed to not use the weapon I bought.:+1:

It’s a must to have as i have so many useless premiums/event squads and can’t really use them.

DF really think i will buy STG44 with silencer to play at BR56 even tho i just purchased BR2 Guerrilla squad at BR2 and now i feel scammed. Their TT guerrilla can change weapon but not premium squad.

So DF expects it’s players to buy 5x Guerrilla premiums to play at every BR, it’s kind of silly.

We really need to be able to replace primary and play at whatever BR we want.

Give premium bonus to actual squad not a weapon/soldiers, that way we could also get xp bonus from non premium soldiers that we add to that squad. Ofc it will be only temporal bonus as long as those additional soldiers are inside the same squad.

It’s already possible to unequip premium weapon but it was a bug. Time to turn that bug into a real feature just like rocket jumping and bunny hopping in quake :rocket: they never removed it but embraced it.

I’ve had several posts saying that all squads we pay for, aka premium/event squads the player should have full ability to change weapons. That being said, I would be fine if event/premium weapons are locked to that premium/event squads and thus replacing them with TT weapons. In most cases for myself, I have so many premium/event squads that I can’t use the majority of them, especially since most are roughly the same BR level. For example, my level 5 German Horn squad, can’t use because the Horn sucks at level five and I have far superior squads, or my MP 18 level two German squad, again, I have too many level two premium/event squads at level two along with the TT squads I also use. This is just an example of two squads “I could” be using if “I could” arm them with different weapons and use them at another level. TT weapons is fine in my case, as I just want the ability to use the squad I PAID FOR where I need a squad.

The things we want changed, we as players have to stay on it because the Dev’s are not going to make changes when one or two people ask for it, when a large majority of the player base is bitching, they tend to listen. It takes them a millennium to act, but eventually they do. It took a couple years of complaining about the soft rule before they took it down.

Yes, I saw your threads, and there were many others, so I decided to change the suggestions in a way that they might accept.
I wanted to create this topic a long time ago, but I was too lazy to do it :joy:, I started writing two weeks ago, but suddenly a war broke out. (average days in the Middle East) and I couldn’t finish it. Finally I was able to do it today.

Yeah, I would be fine either way, being able to use my premium/event squad weapons in different squads, or keeping them locked to that squads use only and being able to replace them with tech tree weapons as for the most part, I just want to be able to use the squad where I want or need it. For me, it’s more about using the squad and nothing to do with reusing the weapons elsewhere.

I can guarantee that my Horn weapons will not be in jeopardy of being used elsewhere anyway, unless it’s BR rating was dropped. :rofl:

Finally i Can Repurpose Those TGewehr To Different Squads~

I think you didn’t read the topic carefully. In this option, there is no possibility to use them in any other squad. I have also stated my reasons in the topic:

Sina’s idea is awesome, which makes event squads more flexible

And addon my post earlier:

Event squad members’ numbers should be adjustable.
Let some member stay in the hanger, small squads for sleath/flanking use

With these two ideas, squads will be max flexible

Your suggestion made me think of something, I’ll post it later.

I think this will breathe some new life into a lot of premium (and event) squads that whilst they look quite cool and unique, their guns restrict them to a very specific niche. Or in some cases they’ve become relatively outclassed or less interesting as other opinions, TT, event or other premiums come out. I think it’d be really nice to disarm them and let them use whatever from the TT, whilst still ensuring they’re the only squad that can use the weapon they originally came with.

Would certainly enjoy seeing this!
