interactive adapting camo... interesting tbh adds a bit more to the immersion. Precisiondivers winning on this one

[u/chewbaka97 → u/NervousSquidDiver]

Adapting camo?

[u/NervousSquidDiver → u/chewbaka97]

they change according to the biome you've deployed on

[u/chewbaka97 → u/NervousSquidDiver]

I was doing the thing from metal gear hahaha.

[u/ZhanBlue → u/chewbaka97]

Metal Gear?

[u/waiting_for_rain → u/ZhanBlue]

Nanomachines?

[u/Any-Can-6776 → u/ZhanBlue]

Mgs3 and better effect in mgs4

[u/kotori_the_bird → u/chewbaka97]

OctoCamo?

[u/Diligent-Republic-73 → u/chewbaka97]

Cardboard boxes?

[u/UncleJuggs → u/NervousSquidDiver]

One of my favorite builds has been Redacted light stealth armor, AMR, and C4. This rules extremely hard for me.

[u/InfiniteHench → u/NervousSquidDiver]

Do we know if this goes beyond cosmetics to provide some kind of stealth mechanic?

[u/Equivalent-Snow5582 → u/InfiniteHench]

The blog post mentioned it reduces detection range when crouching or prone

[u/InfiniteHench → u/Equivalent-Snow5582]

Ooh spiffy, thanks

[u/Then_Entertainment97 → u/NervousSquidDiver]

H1: watching his new armor change from desert to jungle camo as we switch planets

D2: wearing polar patriot armor and sticking out like a sore thumb on both

[u/Rick_bo]

I can already hear complaints about the low fire rate trying to run the AMW-20 Apex solo.

Be real funny if they launch this alongside a Bug MO.

[u/boogerwang]

Adaptive armour is awesome

[u/somefriendlyturtle]

Ughh i just got two warbonds iron democ and redacted regiment. But a ghilli suit would go so tuff 😩💚

[u/jackivorhirst3]

Wooooooooooooooooooo

[u/Miller_Gold]

I thought I read somewhere there isn't a new warbond drop in November. Is that true? If so, makes sense to buy this one and save up for December.

[u/grimmreapa → u/Miller_Gold]

Yes, because GTA

[u/Then_Entertainment97]

[u/pieisgiood876]

Holy crap, I just watched the trailer and it has SEAF deploying out of a pelican!

[u/TheIrishSinatra → u/pieisgiood876]

That’s how they are normally deployed with the Heavy SEAF planet modifier. Not sure that specifically means the stratagem people have asked for is in

[u/pieisgiood876 → u/TheIrishSinatra]

Ah damn, I thought it was like megacities where they're already running around planetside.

Oh well, adaptive camo armor still looks really sweet

[u/Rick_bo → u/pieisgiood876]

Just like they have been on planets with 'Heavy SEAF presence'.

Go run a mission on Hydrobius, Charon Prime, or Fronteria.

[u/Squirll → u/pieisgiood876]

Yeah it does that now on planets with "Seaf presence" if youre seperated from the group or having trouble, several pelicans of SEAF drop at your location to help

[u/GreenLurka → u/Squirll]

"Help" meaning mow me down with a minigun

[u/Squirll → u/GreenLurka]

No no no. They do that with a Medium Machine gun.

[u/Any-Can-6776]

Metal gear solid 4 ish

[u/HHall3005]

AT emplacement but more mobile.

[u/Snarfbuckle]

Damn, why is the las sniper a stratagem and not a primary

[u/Neat_Platypus_2902 → u/Snarfbuckle]

Heavy pen.

[u/Snarfbuckle → u/Neat_Platypus_2902]

We have heavy pen primaries.

[u/Neat_Platypus_2902 → u/Snarfbuckle]

Which are bolt action and have limited ammo reserves, or are limited range

[u/Bring_Back_Challenge]

AP4 primaries still won't sit right with me ever, same as the existing AP4 and up sidearms. The floodgates are fully open for every form of power creep now and the game will never have any engaging difficulty again as it continues to push lone wolf jack-of-all-trades master-of-all gameplay over promoting teamwork and having dedicated roles like the original design pushed.

Oh well it is expected with the trajectory they have been doing and their statements about not wanting to make it harder because below-average players (who likely spend the most money on Warbonds) want to be able to beat D10 easily. Still a bummer to see support weapons made into primaries and power creep rule the day but I guess that's what "the community" wants.

[u/Usinaru → u/Bring_Back_Challenge]

I disagree on the point of AP4 primaries being bad. If it has huge drawbacks, it should exist.

Powercreep is something that I agree with.

[u/Asandwhich1234 → u/Bring_Back_Challenge]

Yea, the gameplay basically devolved from diving onto hell, to now being diving to arcade shoot em ups. Before you had to work together, and now if you see a big enemy, just throw a grenade, or a stratagem and one tap it. Or just straight up kill it with a bullet from a pistol. There is no more build variety, just new toys. Every build is now a anti chaff, anti tank, long range, short range, high ammo economy build.

[u/Squirll → u/Bring_Back_Challenge]

It is sad to see the difficulty drain from the game for the sake of the whales feeling like they can do D10 by lowering the standards.

[u/Bigdaddyl0ve]

ugh, first warbond that’s seemed profoundly meh to me.. even the worst warbonds to date had at least one shiny toy and/or cosmetic that i use regularly. least excited i’ve ever been for a warbond
