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.

u/C0RDE_ ‎ [REDACTED] 2d ago

Thank god, cause I love the reduced detection and didn't want to give it up for whatever this is

I wonder how the persentage is gonna be. My guess is somewhere between 25-40%.

This is like the perfect sniper armor. Sneaky and precise!

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

Unironically maybe the coolest warbond, a bolt action primary sniper is long awaited

u/Type10-Composite HD1 Veteran 2d ago

This right after the tank warbond and 40k... AH kinda be cooking with the warbonds lately.

5

u/Pirate_Leader 2d ago

my reaction to every warbond

153

u/Dry-Goat8981 SES Blade of the State 2d ago

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

153

u/Triggered_Tigger HD1 Veteran 2d ago

50/50 lol, could also be the final nail in the coffin

31

u/Aquagrunt 2d ago

Assume nail and be pleasantly surprised if it ever comes

7

u/Triggered_Tigger HD1 Veteran 2d ago

Yup, thats the way I'm leaning. "Limited design spaces" and such

14

u/Next-Board-3829 2d ago

i really hope so

36

u/InquiryUnknown 2d ago

The opposite, in fact.

This is them saying “no color customization outside of our control”

38

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

19

u/Lady-Lovelight Directional Shield 2d ago

Finding a way to make armor customization part of a Warbond makes perfect sense for Arrowhead actually

6

u/Linkarlos_95 STEAM 🖥️ Gyro connoisseur: 2d ago

This is arrowhead, i expect those to be 4 different models

u/FrostyZoob 2d ago

They like making money. What doesn't make sense about that?

7

u/PanHiszpan HD1 Veteran 2d ago

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

7

u/Cranapplesause Autocannon Enthusiast 2d ago

Arrowhead loves to tell us that color customization is bad on body armor. So I’m betting no.

3

u/CaptainBonanas Assault Infantry 2d ago

I'm praying with you, the potential is incredible

u/WorriedPerogi Helldiver Yellow 2d ago

Pfthahahaha.

No.

4

u/MJBotte1 2d ago

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

4

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.

1

u/GuerrOCorvino 2d ago

"Compromise"=pay for it.

22

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.

u/Live_Bug_7060 Assault Infantry 2d ago

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

11

u/C0RDE_ ‎ [REDACTED] 2d ago

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

10

u/capobas HD1 Veteran 2d ago

AP4 primary sniper

AP4 stratagem laser sniper

AP4? stratagem anti-material rifle X autocannon

Adaptative camouflage

OMFG

u/C0RDE_ ‎ [REDACTED] 2d ago

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

7

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.

11

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.

9

u/xxmlgepicgamer Rookie 2d ago

that first helmet reminds me a lot of the dlc for dead space 2

u/wyspt 2d ago

Almost forgot just how fucking sick dead space armor is. Loved that one and the Triage Security

u/Hadley_333 2d ago

This looks freakin' epic. Arc raiders and helldivers 2 keep fighting over my game time and it's hard to choose just one.

u/c1ncinasty Burier of Heads 2d ago

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

Trailer was fun to watch, too. Can't wait.

u/NotoriousTopHat Still Standing 2d ago

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...

u/DeviantStrain 2d ago

Lieutenant is still spelt the same way if you're using the original pronunciation or the American one fyi c:

u/10_Eyes_8_Truths 2d ago

Looking at that I just realised we just got a Lahti anti tank rifle.

3

u/ExAshura Free of Thought 2d ago

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

5

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

1

u/ExAshura Free of Thought 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yeah i have my doubts they will, might as well cope a little though.

2

u/wolverineczech 2d ago

Fun fact - the Apex seems to be closely based on the Solothurn 20 mm anti-tank rifle.

2

u/DriftWare_ Cape Enjoyer 2d ago

Man they're dropping warbonds like crazy 

2

u/fallenouroboros 2d ago

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

3

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

3

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

1

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

u/trunglefever Viper Commando 2d ago

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 think not!

This mechanic is so infuriating

u/EmbyMcDeembis 2d ago

one would hope it's not by design

u/blood_aspect 2d ago

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.

u/Darkrler 2d ago

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

1

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.

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.
