Are they going to add weapons for free?

[JF]

because the amount we have right now is very disappointing.

What? There are plenty of weapons in the game. More would be great, but there's a ton of variety.

They did say all future content of the game will be completely free so it should be free. But Discord also said years ago they would never monetize the platform...

However I assume what they mean by "free" is you can earn premium currency in the game so it's technically free but you can pay money to lessen the time sink just a bit if you don't have enough premium currency to get it "right now". However you're still going to farm those medals and samples which are completely free to access them.

No there is not, most weapons are pretty useless.
And i amn not counting warbounds weapons. I am saying the base game weapons.

Devs have always said there will be more weapons and none would be locked behind a paywall. Premium Warbonds can be bought with Super Credits that can be found in game, so even if they do add more Premium stuff? We can get it by playing. Try THAT on an EA or Ubisoft game.

Also? Now that servers are handled, CEO has stated many times that they will focus on gameplay.

That's not a variety problem, it's a balancing problem.

If you're discounting a majority of the guns in the game, sure, there's not a lot there. Kind of like saying "this game doesn't have lots of content" but only playing the tutorial mission over and over.

they have filled a game with lots of cool weapons and strategems.... then you soon realise that only like 4 things are viable lol. im waiting on balance patch now meta is so stale

[JF]

i would love that the they buff the first assault rifle. But i do think there are few weapons to choose compared to some other shooters.

[WESTG4M3R4L1F3]

yea they will add cod weapons for all the kids need

[Chaos]

Unlikely, unless you consider grinding for SC to buy the premium pass to be free.

This. Weaker air strikes need a cooldown reduction, especially the starting one.

More than 4 things are definitely viable... It is just that people do what is the easiest most comfortable thing for them once they figure out what works. It is human nature. Try to experiment and you will realize that there is multiple solutions for any given problem. Most of this requires actual team work and coordination of loadouts though. Which does happen with most veteran players. No one is going to blame you for not taking railgun/shield/500kg at Helldive. It's the people on Extreme that think they are elite who will take issue with this. One person taking Flamethrower, or HMG, reduces the need for cluster bombs/poison/etc and allows for another person to focus on armored bugs/mechs.
Being able to quickly eliminate patrols is mandatory if you want an easy time, and quite doable with the right tools. Unless you like running around like a chicken the whole match due to constant bug breaches/reinforcements, which seems like its 80% of the player-base atm lol.

Stop me if I'm wrong, but by your point of view, there's only 1 primary "base game" weapon. Everything else is in a warbond.

Just kidding ^^'
The grand total number of weapons isn't that high, but the biggest problem is the lack of balance.
We could already have a good variety of tools to deal with close range, long range, swarm, light armored, etc... Yet we all use the breaker because it does it all and usually better than anything else.

We'll have an additional warbond every month with new stuff.

Will we ever get balance? Only time will tell, but there's no point to give us more weapons if the breaker is still the only good one.
