Give a small XP bonus to golden troops and weapons

Since premium squads are fixed and can’t swap soldiers nor weapons with regular ones, I think there should be a way to boost the XP gains of regular squads in addition to premium time.

In that sense, I think that golden troops and weapons (the ones you can unlock with gold orders) would be a great solution.

Since they can be assigned to regular squads, it would be great if each of them provided even just a +10% XP bonus to the squads they’re in.

Given the rarity of gold orders, they become available in very limited numbers, so they don’t risk getting spammed. Moreover, they are (currently) class restricted, so they can’t be immediately assigned to any squad indiscriminately.

I think this bonus would have no tangible adverse effects on gameplay, while providing benefits to the players and at the same time greatly increasing the value of gold orders, thus making people more willing to spend to get more of them.

EDIT - the amount of bonus is debatable, but it should be somewhat tangible and displayed among extra bonuses in the post-battle results.

As far as I know, premium squads already give you additional xp boost. But getting small boost for regular squad for using golden weapons sounds like a neat idea!

They do, but that only applies to campaign progress.

Sounds like a good idea however the gold weapons can only really be assigned to Assault squads (with the ones that exist at the moment) so unless they were to have more gold weapons for different classes then it wouldn’t really do much of a change overall

Golden soldiers are assaulters too at the moment. So you can’t just slap them anywhere without first leveling up a squad a bit.

I’m inclined to think in the future we’ll see golden troops and weapons from different classes.

Berdan II is counted as regular bolt action rifle. They might add more, just a small correction.

Ah thanks for the info on that. I personally didn’t bother with the Berdan 2

Good. That validates the theory of future golden orders providing stuff for any class.

Just double checked. Yeap, I have it on one of the engineers:

Bit of an oof considering it’s more of a meme weapon compared to the Springfield with Pedersen Device which slaps.

Guess it would be nice though to 1 shot kill someone

I kind of regret it, it’s not very accurate (reminds me of MAS) and you get just 19 bullets, with big ammo bag you get 2 more bullets, I think :laughing:
I understand that it’s because ammo bags give you magazine and as this is a single shot weapon you get ammo accordingly.

I have golden engineers, AT troops and assaulters…

Ngl I hoped this would gather more attention / consensus :confused:
