New means to maim and murder
The Reasoning
- YAGER noted there are still a few spots worth filling. For instance, The issue on lacking Uncommon snipers and Rare SMGs, while there’s a clear absence of Shotguns and Pistols of higher quality.
- The dev team noticed through data analysis that some items are so valuable that players can never find a good situation to justify their use.
- Developers realized players tend to stick with Rare quality equipment and some weapons, like the KARMA or Zeus Beam.
The Solution
- Several of the currently existing weapons will receive a new variation.
- The MKII weapons will be stronger than their classic counterparts translating into a different power level, more attachment slots, or possibly a bigger magazine size.
- MKII weapons will have a specific caveat: they can only be found on the surface, either looted from a hidden stash or grabbed from the clammy hands of a foamed Prospector.
- No crafting or purchasing. The dev team made an increase in random crates.
The… other solution
- The developers will introduce weaker and more common versions of these guns to the pool.
- The current versions of those weapons will be considered MKII weapons. They will become surface-only plunder, while the new versions will replace them on the station.
- YAGER will make details on these new weapon variations available very soon. In fact, players might even get the chance to try them yourselves much sooner than anticipated.
