Is this set before the Rev 9 sent back in time?

[section]

And will there be Rev 9's in the game?

I mean the game isn't even set in Dark Fate universe, so there's no Rev9's. Legion in this timeline only ever made Rev6's, which are basically just skinless T-800's.

This is set 10 years after the Judgment Day in the Dark Fate timeline, and about 7-8 years before the events seen in the Dark Fate future scenes. Legion are currently at Rev 6's, so over time, we will see the development of Rev 7's, 8's and eventually the Rev 9... We will also start to see some of the other tech used in the future. From dropships to Augmented soldiers.. That's the plan....

That's not true at all though. Dark Fate has no plasma rifles because Legion realized it could just use blades and guns against the humans.

Yeah developer of the game Terminator: DARK FATE - Defiance. You don't know what you're talking about!

Or you know.. they used Plasma Rifles before eventually upgrading to the next Generation of Terminators who didn't require it?

Prime example is the T-1000 didn't need Plasma Rifles but the T-800 did. T-1000 was in very early development phases by Terminator 2, which the future war was set around 2029, so it hadn't been mass produced for battlefield yet, was strictly a infiltration unit in its early days. Then if we look at earlier Skynet models they didn't even use Plasma rifles, the T-600 used ballistics.

In the Dark Fate timeline, Rev 9 was just starting mass production around 2042. In Defiance the game it takes place around 2030s and Rev 6 was the mass produced Terminator. The Founders/Resistance were still using mainly ballistics but over the course of the game start using Plasma technology. So for Legion Plasma is it's current technology level..

So the main discussion/response to you is the Legion level of technology you're talking about from Dark Fate the movie (2042) hasn't been developed yet. So Plasma was a precursor technology.

Mandatory one-upping the "well-actually" level for comedic and clarity:

Rev 6's are not the current mass-production model. They are the current bleeding-edge model Legion cannot mass-produce just now.
