Recently I was informed that the gold weapon orders we accumulate over time can only be spent once on a single weapon, regardless of how many golden weapon tickets we have.
I would be happy to see the ability to use these hard earned tokens on multiples of specific golden weapons we find desirable to the extent that you could fully arm a squad with your favorite golden weapon. Especially since the weapons are not generally all that more powerful currently than other weapons that fill similar roles, and the once-every-two-months rarity of obtaining these tokens to begin with.
you can use them for other weapons campaign if you have more.
that way, you can earn gold tickets, and use them for other weapons.
personally, those weapons are overperfoming for what they should be.
having more would impact the already crambling on going balance. and further more, worse for the game, replace some weapons. for example, the smhisser or how it’s called, it’s actually decent enough to replace all the smg squad type 1 ( mp34, fnab and somewhat the mp40 ).
and lastly, those weapons can be bought. so, it would be somewhat pay to win.
Hmm, the tokens take roughly 50 days to acquire apiece, correct? Meaning by the time you could build a squad (x4=150/200 days) using gold tokens you should have the mid to late term weaponry since the tokens are unlocked at lvl 50 of the battlepass. I presume eventually people will have gold weapon squads either way, but they’ll be a variety if not multiple.
Primarily, if you compare golden weapons to the late term weaponry, as an axis player, weapons such as the MG42 FG42, or MG34 w/extended magazine are far superior to anything the golden weaponry could offer. Yet the gold tokens are extremely difficult to get. Unless they’re going to become something frequently gifted through events or made available for purchase, then I would understand only a single per campaign team.
From my experience, even comparing the gold weaponry to its rivals most smgs and bolt actions function similarly time to kill wise. You can get a full squad of 9 people with the one hit kill Lebel 1886, at 17.8 damage, or Gewehr 98 at 16+15%(18.4?) whereas a single gold weapon token for the Gewehr 1888 after grinding 50 battlepass levels does 17.2 damage. While the Lebel is a premium squad and the Gewehr 98 is late term, the point being that there are far better options, which you can multiply, than whatever most gold weaponry is offering.
Another example would be the G43 rechambered. The damage is 7.9 damage 100m, and for the standard g43 it’s 9.8 at 100m. Meaning the g43 rechambered functions as a weaker shorter ranged weapon that you can simply fire for a longer period of time. While there are some subtle damage differences, what truly matters is the time and rounds required to kill a foe.
TLDR;
-Because there are much better stackable options than the single gold weaponry
-Because it is extremely difficult/timely to get golden tokens, and
-Because presumably people will have golden weapon squads in the future regardless if they continue to add new weapons each battlepass
It seems to me that golden weapons currently serve as single unique mid tier weapons unlocked after you should be at the later stage of the game. Though I’m open to being entirely wrong and arrogant about this, perhaps I’m failing to acknowledge something obvious.
exept, you can just perhaps buy the other weapons instead of the same one.
is it that hard to read?
i think that it’s quite black and white. replace the earlier smgs, does not mean late equipment.
does it?.
as they should?
again, you can currently buy 2 weapons of the same campaign that are differents. example, g43 kurz and shmesser. ( if you completed the last battlepass and the current one ) and eventually, you can buy 1 additional golden order for 7 euros ( not sure if it’s still a thing or not )
so, for everyone’s good, those weapons are limitated as they should.
do i have to remind you that those are just prototypes? that shouldn’t become more commons than the actual iconic weapons?.
surely enlisted it’s somewhat strange on it’s own. but this wouldn’t help it to make it better.
i feel like you complealty missed the whole point of golden weapons.
those are meant to be unique as prototypes and be somewhat a " side-grade " weapons. some of them are good than the actual main line up, and others not so much. that’s the main point. use something different and unique. not fill entire squads with them. that’s unlogical.
exept, the kurz g43 is still by far superior because you can simulate it to full auto and despite the distance, damage almost doesn’t drop. and has next to 0 recoil… ( which it also comes with additional weapons compared to the normal g43 ).
so,
n-no.
a counter example could be an smg against a boltaction. damage doesn’t always matter. which it goes alot further than simply " TTK " ( time to kill ).
well, as said before, (which even the Leader game designer it self stated and i’ll quote:
so yeah, those should not be common and obtainable more than 1.
because face entire squads of persen devices or even worse, g43s kurtz it’s not balanced.
just to take as example, look at this clip:
how many weapons in normandy can do that outside the late equipment?
only 3/4. and those are after level 20.
so, the make a more intelligent question:
if people have those powerfull weapons ( that can be given to anyone ), why would they even bother with other weapons if those comes already upgraded?
I agree,
I was wondering this for a long time now.
I wanted a squad of 9 troopers with the bredan II rifle (single shot)
But you cant and that sucks i have 10 gold weapon orders and i see no point in spending them since there way better to unlock. Its more for the show off than for play.
Ps the video is a troll don’t mind that it, the weapon is not OP the IA was just bugged out so he was able to do that shot.
