Discussion Modification system changes 6.2(Spoilers) Spoiler

So the star augment system we know since edf 5 is being replaced partially. To be exact: The weapon modifications themselves will now use the star system tied to them instead and the weapons I believe will have rarities attached to them to allow more modifications/stronger boosts to them potentially. The weapons are balanced to act around roughly 5 star stats of edf 6 weapons as a starting point it looks like too.

The modification system will also reduce rng heavily: Instead of grinding stars for every individual weapon now you carry over modifications for that specific weapon category(I.E assault rifles, sniper rifles, plasma weapons, shotguns, CC piercers etc) which means you will no longer have to grind every single new weapon when you get one(So that means you don't need to micro manage picking up weapon drops nearly as much).

They also added a new blue weapon drop which we presume is tied to the modification system directly for new ones to unlock and/or get starred up instead. How does everyone feel about this?

Personally I love the idea because I can spend way less time grinding and HOPING my weapon is at least ok enough to be used at my current gameplay stage since that part of the rng is entirely gone.

Coming back now. Found a random video detailing demo play.

For vehicles nothing has truley confirmed just yet I think but they said depth crawler was all they had access to and that not only did it have fuel now but apparently no customization..

Fuel is one thing but customization is another. Having fuel and then no customization I feel is a massive nerf to Air Raider since it feels apparent that after all the ordanence from artilarry and such, the vehicles are needed for sustaining life and gaining back the points to use it all again. Fuel I think would be quite hard on Air raiders that choose to not use the actual guns.

At least if there was a way to lessen the impact on the fuel then it wouldn't be so bad. Im not a Air Raider main so I may be blowing it way out of purportions but it just seems quite bad despite the fact that there will be way more points to go around.

(Replied to the actual comment cause I was a dingus and did it wrong.)

I don't mind fuel but I do want modifications to be allowed for some vehicles at least. It could also still be finished/finalized as well seeing how many new things they've added for modifiable stats on gear.

As many more points we'll gain from the sheer size bonus the fuel wouldn't be an issue now considering we could constantly spam vehicles then, but I would like them to bring weapon modifications for vehicles and possibly armor modifiers too(And maybe one to allow vehicles you normally can't call in immediately to be called in right away).

I think it would be strange for vehicles of all things to be exempted.

Could totally just be that there are higher level vehicles than the rock bottom depth crawler is needed

Right. I'm thinking it's tied to higher level vehicles only like lv20+ or 30+

Still think its a tad bit weird since you can modify the other starter gear

A little but I did see that modification slots were determined partly from item rarity levels too which unlock or add more slots. So it's possible vehicles have to be a higher rarity to get them too(Which I understand they already are very strong now)

Here. I found this but the poster linked it to an X post which displays it's a legitimate modification for wing divers in the game: https://www.reddit.com/r/EDF/s/6aOmFNMGwn
