gold soldiers were at least needed during the first phase of the OBT with the academy (which was a cool feature even if too grindy) buying gold soldiers allowed you to skip soldier training and immediately have lv 4 soldiers with decent stats for all lovers of the min-max
but!
after the transition to the current simplified system for upgrading soldiers (and the rest) the golden soldiers have lost their importance except for pure collecting, over time the community has proposed different solutions to make them interested in buying again, below you will find the compilation of some of the best suggestions:
- give all of them perfect stats or a special initial perk
- give them an unique uniform or a medal on their uniform for make them different
- give them all gun/equipment slot already opened after the purchase
- give them passive experience boost for use them in battle
- make them non class restricted and allow them use all kind of equipment (hammer,radio,smg,mg,rifle…) for let the player make full use of them in their squad
- give gold order soldier passive special ability in base of their class
- make them come after the purchase with a pre-maxed gun based on their class
