I think it would be a good idea if you can trade weapons between players. Maybe a little something like this:
If you grinded to level 20 in Normandy Axis, you can trade weapons for weapons (or equipment or grenades) as long as those things are appropriate to your campaign level, like trading FG 42 for an AP mine.
Not inter-campaign trading, but within the campaign (so Moscow Allies can’t trade with Tunisia Allies).
It could be a good alternative from silver orders just in case you went on a spending spree.
The weapon transfers allow the players themselves to transfer any traded weapons between campaigns anyway.
The question is what’s the currency for the trade or are we just talking barter - gear for gear?
The last thing you want the game to get is BoT farmers that plague other MMOs to get a quick buck from farming up the stuff you need to trade for.
If you’re talking (Allied or Axis) SMG for SMG, then really you’re talking fully upgraded ones since most ppl can pay a silver order or 3 to get a random one… So it becomes a gifting thing where the long timers can bestow a maxed weapon on a new(er) player - with some constraints since you can’t use a weapon you haven’t unlocked.
I tried moving my fully upgraded Breda’s from Moscow to Tunisia but it wouldn’t let me until I was able to use them - same with my MG 34’s from Normandy
I was thinking of bartering. Not throughout different campaigns, but within a campaign and faction. I was also thinking of it depending on your level. Like if you are level 20 in Normandy, you can trade weapons from level 20 and before level 20 in Normandy (insert faction here).
Its potentially a viable welfare system for paying subscribers with a battle pass and arguably more tickets to hand down some stuff to their friends or clan mates - equivalent “progression” players who may be f2p, don’t accumulate orders at the same rate, and consequently have to be more frugal with them just to outfit their troops.
