Prime example of why premium and event squads should have changeable weapons

As we know, damn near every event squad and premium squad have locked weapons, which means you’re screwed into a weapon and BR level. 90% of the premium squads I have bought over the years are either BR2, Br4 or BR5, which IMOP BR4 might as well be BR5 since that is where you’ll be uptiered to fighting.

Against my better judgement, I bought the surpressed StG 44 squad. I was not going to, however, I have had this engineering squad I got in some event or something quite a while back, and fortunately it came with changeable weapons, so I had shit canned the original weapon and stocked it with StG 44’s and it has been a daily user in BR5. I have wanted to drop it to level two, however, I did not want to remove the StG 44’s for Amagurra mod’s, especially since I have half a dozen good smg squads at level two. After buying four BR Mkb 35’s a while back during a BP sale, and not using them, I got the fifth event Mkb 35, so now, I have almost enough to fill that six member engineer squad, thus giving me the reason to buy the surpressed StG 44 squad.

I gave the new surpressed squad the StG 44’s from my old Engineer squad, and gave my Engineer squad the five Mkb 35’s, and one Amagurerra mod and I can now shift them to level two. This also free’s up an smg squad I can move to level one, or level three. Anyway, for me, this is a perfect example of why squads we pay for should have changeable weapons. I don’t care about uniqueness as I buy them to use, not to collect, and if DF unlocked these squads, I could rearrange several levels instead of having a dozen premium squads that are collecting dust. It feels like the more premium squads you buy, the more your punished since there are only so many slots we can fill, and yes, I had also bought more slots so I don’t have to continue to pay for premium to get them :rofl:. I have got around this locked weapon BS on some squad by changing the Ammo pouch to secondary weapon, however, if it’s a BR 5 weapon, you’re still stuck with it in BR5, and to be honest, we shouldn’t have to do this if we are paying for it. Additionally, you don’t have that choice if it is a medic Premium squad.

Anyway, sorry to blather on, but this is why I advocate so much for unlockable weapons, because it is the people who are paying for these squads and for premium accounts are the people keeping this game a float financially, and if nothing else, there isn’t a reason DF couldn’t at least give a bone to those who buy over so many squads, making them unlockeable after so many are purchased.

I know some of you players like squads because of their uniqueness, but for me, they are worth nothing if I cannot use them.

And to be honest, I really wouldn’t care if the weapons were solely locked to that particular premium squad, so they cannot be used in other squads, however unlock the weapons slot so I can change the weapon. So, for example if I wanted to use my German level two Paratrooper squad in level three, or just change out the weapons to Mp40’s, then the squad now get MP40’s, however the OG-43 unique weapon cannot be used in any other squad, I would be fine with that. I just want the option of being able to use that squad at any level I need. Uniqueness means nothing if you can’t use the squad where you need it, especially if you’re undisciplined like me and have spent “WAY” too much money on DF premium squads over the years. :expressionless:

Otherwise, if the Dev’s refuse to give us the right to change weapons, then start a marketplace type page where we, the players, have the right to sell or trade these squads to other players. I could post a squad I cannot use, people can message me with squads they don’t use and we can trade squads.
