Premium weapons not as good?

[Menphues]

Hey devs,

Just a quick question really. The premium weapons you obtain as a premium war bond or super citizen do not really have a good advantage and seem to be less powerful in comparison to the normal unpaid weapons I think.

I’ve seen other people reporting the same thing and it’s made me wonder. Shouldn’t they be a bit stronger tipping over the point to make it worth wild to get the premium?

At the moment the super edition/ premium is not feeling like a worth wild upgrade which is sad.

They should be sidegrades. ATM they seem too specialized and honestly the basic rifle is still king to me

[Goofy Gooner]

Agreed. We paid extra money for these weapons, so at the very least we should get extra damage. I would expect them to at least one tap everything they hit - although being explosive, each round should have an explosion radius of half a grenade.

Personally, I think that the premium weapons should be able to steal the medals and samples of team mates that you kill with them (not EXP or requisition slips as the plebs still need some progression) and right now these weapons really aren't living up to the standards I expect.

Does the knight count as premium i like it better than the standard smg and pairing it with the ballistic shield.

[Menphues]

Yeah premium is feeling a little bit of a let down!

It’s sad because it cost extra for something that isn’t worth it and not even close.

Please dear god no!

They shouldn't even be "side grades", they should be cosmetics...

No power behind a paywall!

The Dominator is amazing, I don't know what you're talking about

It’s not a paywall. It’s premium you pay for… secondly it’s a PvE game and not PvP so it does not effect anyone…

The only person who has an issue are people getting jealous because “they have a better weapon than me” which is what it boils down to.

In a PvP game there should be no paywall or pay to win. This game is PvE and does not have anyone effected bar jealous people… simple buy premium them.

Premium should not be cosmetic only

they yet to decide if they want p2w or not. half of people say its already p2w, half of players say its not enough p2w, like here. its like watching tabletennis really.

they cant accept the fact that, its totally optional approach, and we can achieve anything with base weapons available, even much more easily than premium stuff.

im just gonna sit and wait that when they going to realize premium incendiary weaponary is for quicker clearing first 3 difficulties, and only dominator and revolver s feasible still after challenging difficulty.

U can also buy the premium warbond by just playing the game. I have way over 1k now without spending a single cent

US Army in the 60's: builds rifles firing rocket projectiles for minimal recoil
Super Earth: Builds rifles firing rocket projectiles having recoil equal to an actual cannon while not doing a lot more damage than the DMR.


Dominator really seems much more like the Neopup PAW 20mm "grenade" launcher than anything else...and while I like the concept the Dominator currently is just absolute trash.
Cool, neat trash in a way but still trash.

[Phantom Limb]

Funny thing that some people blame the game to be P2W garbage while others beg it to turn into P2W garbage.
Go figure.

Literally this lol. P2W more like P2L. Just farm it easily. Gotta get the Medal's for them anyway. No sense in just buying it outright.

thats supershop mate, to purchase 2 types of armor every 48hrs, to access premium shop you need to buy super or w/e edition and you still need like 500 medals to unlock 3rd page of it.

You can also earn super credits by playing, searching the POIs and exploring the map. The same credits can be used to buy the premium warbond.

The warbonds also never expire, they're meant to be a slow burn.

They're niche, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The explosive liberator is alright at stunlocking warriors and stalkers but the damage is pretty eh and the constant flinching makes it hard to target specific points on the enemy.

The incendiary breaker is very good at 'trash cleaning' smaller bugs and excels at dismembering soldier bugs smaller than a warrior/stalker, and greatly extended magazines, which makes up for the lower per-shot damage.

The dominator looks like a standard rifle, but it's actually a DMR with a very moody recoil. Great damage and medium armor piercing, but it's pretty hard to control for follow-up shots unless you're crouched/prone. Can kill grunt automatons with a single body shot.

[KageRo 911]

Dominator is good if used right(I like it),
Flame shotgun are meh, on paper it look good in reality its average.
Liberator is like people said above - stunlocker with high recoil

Actually you can easy use "ordinary weapons"
