Needs a Gun/Gear Store

[OneShotPaddy]

Title says it all folks. I am very glad I avoided buying the game. But from what I'm reading and watching, the fact that the game has no store to ship in guns and equipment makes no sense.

Also, the fact that your "headquarters" is just another tile on the map with no upgrades or any building/progression feels like a missed opportunity by the developers.

Sadly, yes. This could be content for the first and second DLC.

[ParasiteX]

wtf... that's a huge missed opportunity... ugh.. guess ill hold of a while on getting this. Hopefully modding will take off and this might be something that can be implemented. Bobby Ray's reborn 😎

a realistic looting would be better

[BleedingGuitar]

Yes, having Bobby Rays would be great esp if you're like me and dislike being forced to extensive looting, esp as it's implemented quite cumbersome.

That said, what a strange reason not to buy this game ... it's awesome, no game will have each and every pet feature somebody wants ...

[Wexler]

I too miss bobby ray, but i am ok with chosen store style. What bothers me, is that i cant preview what i am buying. So i always need to save - load to figure what is what.

...even better, bring micky. (i actually dont know, if he is in the game)
bobby ray's is a bit silly and he probably does not deliver by boat

Well there is a flea market with weapons and supplies, but hell that is janky af, I would much rather to have an access to an interface where one can actually see the stuff one is buying with all the stats, etc. Like having a table with a modified gun without any info is a bit lame. The game generally delivers quite questionable QoL mechanics. This could have been the ultimate JA experience, yet so much is left to be desired.

[Bantak Kor]

The laptop is very dissapointing, I can order mercenaries from across the globe but I can't buy ammo, medical equipment or anything else? JA2 even had a dang online flower shop.
This is kinda stupid and takes away from the management sim experience.

[Murky]

At the same time they have a deep customisation weapon system. I cannot imagine anyone who would love the original games, really being a fan that is reimagining this game so well, suddenly coming to the idea that no, let's just cut off one of the core JA mechanics and throw into the bin for the sake of looting only and janky market mechanics that requires opaque pixel hunting on tactical map. Guys, please re-think this.

[Dick__Dastardly]

It does sorta shoehorn the players. Least there will be mods. I still want to see the game expanded in scope. To hell with the usual progression from a 38 revolver to machine guns in the last sector.s Make at least a variant that is a well planned and funded operation from the outset.

Have 2 or 3 squads at the start, buy your gear and fight a war from the get go as enemy will be numerous, a legitimate post coup force, insurgency etc. More Wild Geese/Dogs of war than duct tape to keep a few pistols operational slowly progressing. Still plenty of ways to offer challenges. Being overall heavily outnumbered, securing new bases and supply routes both to those bases and into the area of operation from abroad, agressive counter attacks, best enemy forces kept near their critical targets etc. JA2 came closest having to hold the airport, take the towns etc, but the series seems intent on remaining relatively small scale.

[Multihog]

Yep, this is the biggest flaw of this game, imo. Not including Bobby Ray's was a pretty regrettable omission. I hope they will bring it with either an update or expansion. Game's still good, but it feels like there's a hole in it.

[Wexler]

I guess they will work on this. What i see there, is that they totally save dev time and money on that.

I understand that, they made a solid MVP and I guess the game quite made it and will be worked on it further now.

The buying is not even basic, it was just made like trigger item, kinda work around.

I guess we will see some change to it in fist major update.

Then after E9 and defeating zerg of elite army troops all your squads will be OP terminators equipped with top machine guns, sniper rifles, mortars, RPGs and top kevlar/heavy armor.
No, bro, you must suffer :D

[Emperor Fooble]

I dont get these complaints.

I get people might be bad at games, but you are literally showered in loot and ammunition from the get go.
Before leaving the tutorial island you are given more rifles and AK's than you know what to do with, along with a smattering of modern AR's and SMG's.
You can even craft hundreds of rounds in the tutorial village.

The only way you are running out of ammo is with terrible play or getting your entire squad to use the same ammo type.

Bruh....you just don't understand what people asking for.
I don't want to use AK, rifles, pistols or SMGs. I want ability to buy Steyr Aug, HK, M4A1, Arctic Warfare Magnum etc. You don't get it? Now I have almost 1.5m$ but I cannot buy WHAT I WANT and WHAT I CAN AFFORD! As as person who can hire best mercs in the world I must have access to the top weapons dealers! Where ♥♥♥♥ in the world did you see mercs team starting their operations with literally naked ass and pistols only looting locals for AKs?!
Jeeeeeeeeez...............
