Weapons Cases (ingame) Poll Closed

#1

Do you use the Weapon Cases ingame to change weapons on the fly, do you find it useful?
I’m creating this poll to see if anyone ever actually wants to switch weapons during a game.

As it stands now, i particularly never do (i’m at lvl 100+) and if I specifically want a weapon I would choose it from my loadout before launch as my weapons are fully upgraded.

This poll could be the start of getting the developers to change something in-game that was deemed useful during the initial release but now after much experience has very little to be desired. A change might be to include more detailed options for the weapon case, special weapons/tools/upgrades/accessories for weapons not available to FT to begin with, alien weapons, …etc.

If you’d like to leave a comment, please feel free to add your 2 cents. If you find Weapon Cases useful, please let us know what lvl your character is currently or lvl your weapons are at so the developers can gauge when FT members find it useful and when they do not.

it’s actually was useful when I was on low levels because sometimes you could find a machinegun there. But now when people have all weapons in game - it’s useless. Probably they should add some unique weapons there, like some kind of energy/plasma weapon, or predator weapon like pistols or handgun from AVP:Requiem, gauss gun(like a sniper rifle), gun with movement detector/thermal sight etc

And this weapon should have ammunition that cannot be restored. So these chests would really be something valuable in this way

Forget to add. I didn’t mean that simple weapons should be removed from chests but unique weapons should have some % of spawn.

Good topic. I think they are completely useless in 90% of the…cases (sorry).

What they could do though, is replacing some of the weapons you find with either:
A) Weapons with unique skins that you get to keep if you exfil with them.
B) Weapons with unique mods / perks that are usable only for that specific match. These special items would not be OP, just a variation to make things a bit more diverse

I don’t use them unless I’m completely out of ammo and there are no ammo boxes around but that rarely ever happens so I went with no.

Up until you unlock everything, yes. After that, not really, except in those rare cases that you need to. Like if I find a grenade launcher, I’ll swap is out, fire off until empty, making the pred think there is GL on the team, then switch back. Maybe a sniper if the pred is trying to snipe us, but then its just to knock off the mask.

I remember grenade launcher was the big thing lvl0 players went for just to test it out…but lvling up happens then there was no desire after the first attempt because it rarely stored a GL.

#7

Only time I’ve ever used them is when I accidentally started with the wrong load out

#8

These crates should be ordinance. Like RPG’s or a LAW rocket. Something worth going out of your way for

Yeah DisturbedLlama, totally agree. Rocket launcher! …but if they had it all the time it would have to be hidden some where.

Totally agree. Something you might see, or even Zeus comes over coms and gives a heads up like “hey FT we are dropping in some heavy ordinance to help with your mission if you feel like going out of your way”

#11

There is alot to learned from other games like MGS5. I thought maybe a vehicle drop for a Walker type vehicle would be cool in a game like this

Occasionally I mean I think I used one for the first time in weeks yesterday, was running the lmg but the Pred player was sticking to ranged attacks and the weapons crate had the 50 cal sniper it was much more useful against him

#13

They are most useful when I run out of ammo. Other than that I prefer all my builds. I wouldn’t like the see them go but they are rarely useful.

#14

I thought they disallowed to exchange a weapon if you’re empty? I assume the new gun will have a full stock of ammo?

#15

When? It’s been a minute since I’ve needed to

#16

That’s actually a great idea @Procyon9511. Perhaps something like the Handheld Plasma Caster from AvP Requiem could be an Option.

I think I actually used the Weapon Crate three times out of curiosity. It’s an interesting mechanic that needs improvement.

#17

It would be boss if we got special gadgets or gerks or weapons or tool that allow us some special during the match. Like a predator detector that lights of the predator one time only.

Or allows the user a one time use of a steroid giving the player time limited unlimited stamina or increase ADS movement. Are Yautjas Bane(which normaly people have on anyway)

How about C4 with hand held detonation? This could be the very closest thing to setting up a trap on the FT side of things.

#18

Pretty sure we’re going to get claymores as Secondary weapons, if we do then they could be in the weapon cases.

I use the weapon cases, if I load with a sniper and the Pred is fighting close or just moving to much. When I run silenced pistol, I’ll swap after clearing AI.

PS. That does not mean I’m against them being improved.

#19

I’ve ignored them since I was level1 at launch
If the weapon Cases dropped Mythical Trophies or a unique future weapon I would actually go for them.

#20

I’d rather they fix the weapons layout so that something like claymores could be the third weapon (temporary weapon slot) and allow us to keep our secondary weapon…making claymores just an add on…while they should also fix the hotkeys for everything including a dedicated knife hotkey. im still bummed about that.
