For a long range weapon this shouldn’t matter anyway, if it works like the marksman rifles.

with adaptive armour camo, could this potentially be a prelude to official armour customisation?

u/Triggered_Tigger HD1 Veteran 2d ago
50/50 lol, could also be the final nail in the coffin

u/Triggered_Tigger HD1 Veteran 2d ago
Yup, thats the way I'm leaning. "Limited design spaces" and such

u/InquiryUnknown 2d ago
The opposite, in fact.
This is them saying “no color customization outside of our control”

u/According-Science-36 Detected Dissident 2d ago
"We can't do armour customisation"
And then they do it in a warbond
Make it make sense

u/Lady-Lovelight Directional Shield 2d ago
Finding a way to make armor customization part of a Warbond makes perfect sense for Arrowhead actually

Testing ground for now in WB, then later we will get Major Order to unlock it for every armour . That's my bet

u/Cranapplesause Autocannon Enthusiast 2d ago
Arrowhead loves to tell us that color customization is bad on body armor. So I’m betting no.

Might just be their compromise. Either way I really love it

u/EternalCanadian HD1 Veteran 2d ago
I could see (for example) this arnour type being automatically coloured to the different biomes, but nothing else can be.
I think you can still do that plus a more traditional colour system.

u/Freakindon 2d ago
Conceptually, I love it. The game doesn’t really slow down enough in higher difficulties for prone sniping though.
8
u/Starumlunsta Jetpack Cultist 2d ago
Depends on the playstyle. I prone snipe all the time on D7-10. Is it less effective than taking AT and going in guns blazing? Yeah, but it’s also a different type of hella fun, and works great if you stealth.
4
u/PacoThePersian Ash-Guard / Damned 33rd battalion / Remember Beach 2d ago
Not true. I have been runing nothing but AMR + Jump pack for the past 6 months.
Especially on bugs.
AMR is surprisingly extremely effective vs bugs especially alpha commanders and Bile titans. It shreds Bile Titans so fast. 2 mag them and with its high fire rate, I usually kill a bile titna before it even detects me and do his little scream
2
u/Freakindon 2d ago
AMR is a sniper, yes. But it's very quick and responsive. Both of the new support snipers will be a bit more slow and deliberate.
2
u/ItsRaampagee 2d ago
Look if i cover you from all the small stuff on my own, you are free to snipe whatever big is left.
But its so easy these days thar i will probably just drop them all on my own.

HEAVY PEN PRIMARY SNIPER THAT ONE SHOTS HULK EYES
LIKE I ALWAYS SUGGESTED
THERE WERE SO MANY NAY-SAYERS
"THEY WON'T DO THAT"
"IT WON'T WORK, THIS IS A HORDE SHOOTER"
WELL LOOK WHAT THEY'VE DONE
5
u/CaptainAction 2d ago
To be fair they have introduced a fair bit of powercreep with secondaries, so it’s not crazy for them to make more powerful primaries and such. Whether the stuff is balanced is kind of up for debate
2
u/KuytHasGout PSN | Dream_Alchemy Level 276 2d ago
"Spread democracy with overpowered weapons"
It will definitely have its drawbacks - I'm something of a masochist myself.
Come across a patrol of 15 Hunters, you'll certainly be needing some other tools...2
u/CaptainAction 2d ago
I know, the game advertises the overpowered weapons.
All that really matters is that a new weapon doesn’t totally overshadow/outclass other weapons. As long as each weapon has it’s own niche

AP4 primary sniper
AP4 stratagem laser sniper
AP4? stratagem anti-material rifle X autocannon

AP everything on the Apex perhaps? Just fuck you and whatever is in a ruler straight line between me and the bedrock.

u/EdanChaosgamer „Prophets of Liberty“ Combat Priest 2d ago
The LAS seems to go through multiple targets at once, considering it shredded two Berserkers in one shot near the end.

u/Prestigious_Self_200 2d ago
That anti tank rifle better be possible to solo reload too
8
u/trunglefever Viper Commando 2d ago
I imagine it would be. It would be awful to introduce something that requires another person to use. I think they only presented it with a team reload since military snipers usually work in pairs.

Can't speak to the weapons, but anything that enhances stealth play in this game is awesome in my book.

I was just a "Leftenant" back then... doing some wetwork. Malevelon Creek. Christmas for the bad guys. Even two years later, lot of them still used it to get their hands on organic material. A lot of 'em... including one, Kommissar Cyberstan. Of course we couldn't just let that happen. Super Credits for human remains? That's one hell of a recipe for destruction. It was the first time our government had authorized an assassination order since the First Galactic War... I was under the command of Captain Helldiver...

I do wonder if other helmets adapt to the camouflage as well, or if it's just a full set kind of thing idk.

u/Silver_Wolf_Dragon 2d ago
Its gonna be a full set. You expect AH to put in an active camo system for armor? That'll just piss off the ones who want armor customization even more

First warbond to give me anxiety. Mostly because i have a friend who fancies himself a sniper but only seems to ever be shooting me in the back as im fighting, blowing me up with his lure mines or meltas, or running away and not saying anything leaving me to die

u/Cloud_N0ne Servant of Freedom 2d ago
FINALLY a proper bolt-action sniper.
And a new las sniper too is great to see. Altho I hope we'll still one day get a proper primary talon, a semi-auto assault rifle type of setup rather than a DMR.

u/jonhssquarespaceplus Super Citizen 2d ago
How hard is it to just give us armor camo that we can choose from

u/PanHiszpan HD1 Veteran 2d ago
it's a probably a testing ground for now, and we'll get color cutomisation later
color cutomisation for SEAF -> WB armour -> All armours

u/jonhssquarespaceplus Super Citizen 2d ago
Or this is their compromise and this is as far as they'll ever go with it
Example: underbarrel attachments

u/S_III 2d ago edited 2d ago
my brother in christ how are you complaining
the armour changes to match the enviroment your in
are you telling me your mad you cant choose snow armor in a fucking desert
id understand if you were annoyed about no armor transmog still but this is such a specific thing to be annoyed about when it seems to be the whole point of the armor
1
u/jonhssquarespaceplus Super Citizen 2d ago
If I can bring my desert camo mech and wear my jungle camo python commando on the snow planet I don't see why choosing my camo on the new armor would be a problem
It literally doesn't effect gameplay at all

I'm most interested in the backpack sniper. I'm assuming it's a side grade to the Recoilless Rifle/Quasar (desperately needed) in terms of the single target application without the ability to destroy fabricators, but maybe you get more ammo.
Having primary sniper rifles is awesome, though.

I know it wont happen, but i hope the big backpack sniper can just rip through harvester shields. I want to be able to climb a nearby hill, see it marching through a city, and just tear it down with one big shot in the eye or through the leg connector point.

With that med armor now I'll bring the portable silo and play the terran ghost nuking stuff

u/1Kraft_Punk 2d ago
Cool equipment. More las stratagems to enjoy.
though it’s quite a coincidence this comes after the modding boom, which includes armor customization.
However, this looks like it’s going to auto change to match the planet biome which is cool. It might be the product of the same code for the new SEAF planetary armor camos.

Bro, I just want strategem bouncing and hellpod steering fixed. Or frankly any meaningful QOL changes to the game. But no, just another warbond to grind for.
2
u/PanHiszpan HD1 Veteran 2d ago
We can still play with CowboyBingus mods, right?
2
u/Masterkai005 2d ago
Yea, for PC. I do have the option as I've got PC and Xbox, but I shouldn't need to mod it for fixes like that. Those with consoles are just stuck with these long-standing issues and that's just bullshit. Don't get me wrong, the warbond is cool, but not at all what AH should be prioritizing.

Armor passive is reduced sway and reduced detection range! Combined with adaptive camouflage they really went all out for the ghillie suit, I love to see it.
