Regarding "pay to win" skins

[Gestalt]

like just stop being poor and buy the skins lol

on a more serious note, why not let weapons have glow sights by default, or have there be a weapon attachment that gives you glow sights, easy fix to the problem

The glow is not very visible, but even if it was, the glow is just on the tip of the sight mostly.

I don't know about the glow, but i hate camo skins. They should be removed from the game, because they give advantage.

[Buzard]

if you brokebois hate skins so much just remove all the skin files from your pc?

What skins are "pay 2 win"? I kinda understand the one persons point about camo, but with how things load in the game, it doesnt rly give the wearer any advantage. They are still as visible as anybody else. What other skins could be considered pay 2 win?

people in general seem to think that just cause a weapon skin has glowing ironsights it's automatically pay to win, problem with that reasoning is that you still actually need a source of light to see people in the dark, but they think that night sights instantly reveal your enemies for whatever reason + the regular ironsights can be aimed just as well if someone is illuminated, the glowing sights part is literally just aesthetics

Oh... well, yeah. I didnt realize anybody thought having a different color sight was "pay 2 win". Somtimes im blown away by how silly ppl can be.

actually it is pay to win because it allows you to aim at night, whereas without the glow sight you won't even be able to aim at all. Here is a list of all glow sight weapons, some are still cheap but will likely be going up in price soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2hjU3V_ssQ&t=174s

These skins are really not that important, since every player spawns with a torch, but they can make navigating around your base at night a little bit more convenient. They can also be used to identify where your base is at night, which I don't think is something you generally would want but that's up to you. Also note there are skins where just the iron-sights glow, these are not really worth getting, just download custom desktop logo and get a crosshair, same thing but you don't have to ads to use it.
