The Beta-C mag better not be paid DLC

[Lordpizzaroll]

In the Sydney Character pack trailer I'm sure you noticed that she has a drum magazine on her assault rifle, this magazine is known as a Beta-C mag.

"Oh man new content" you might be saying

Here's the thing

It's not new

The Beta-C mag has been in the game since launch, but it's been locked behind code and could only be used with mods.

From December of 2013 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=204443492

So if that magazine is included in the new paid character pack then Overkill will have ripped out content that has been in the game for YEARS so they can lock it behind a paywall.

Sorry just the sites you linked contained piracy stuff as well. We have to remove it. It was nothing against you personally.

Well the character pack is paid content, so unless they are planning on releasing a free mod pack or something I feel like it is gonna be paid.

[Juliazim]

but wasn`t it untextured?

It'll probably be weapon exclusive if it is though.

Kinda like the AA-12.

Would be weird since the HK 416 that Sydney uses in the trailer is chambered in 5.56 NATO just like the M4A1, AK5, L85, M16, etc all of which share the same magazine attachments in game.

It'll probably be exclusive for the weapon that'll come along with Sydney.

The reason we don't have any drum mags for other guns is due to the fact that the engine PD" use apparanetly can't have 2 diffrent reload animations for one weapon, and a drum mag and normal mag would need different animations :/

[SonicUnleashedXY]

It is possible to have 2 animations for reloading as someone uploaded awhile ago a video showing proof of concept using a placeholder animation from another weapon. The gun had a normal mag & drum mag.

Edit: Found where I've seen it. Read the comments about it as well & the reason why it not a feature in the game yet. http://steamcommunity.com/app/218620/discussions/8/392184289302715512/

Yeah, but the Expert Mag hasn't been sitting in the game files since release.

[E3kHatena]

Seeing how the expert mag was a character pack item, chances are the BC mag will be that as well.

It's also likely the BC will just be a Quadstacked reskin for added flavor. They added it back in 2013, yes, but it wasn't in a workable state. They decided to remake it for this pack, it's not like they just had a "bool MakeTheBetaCMagWorkRight = true/false;" variable in the game. It probably was rebuilt from the ground up.

Just to correct you OP : hacks to use them? NOOOOOO. Mods. Entirely different. But other than that, you were right, those were in the game since the beginning.

I do hope they updated the animations, and I dare to dream bigger : they even added the underbarrel grips to go with those....

Oh and last but not least, for those who were wondering, actually the animations were complete, and the game wasn't crashing because you used those drum mags, only the arm and hand would clip through the thing because it wasn't finished, the animation was done however, and that one, when you reloaded, wasn't awkward in the slightest.
