so this new mini pass has come and i noticed it had a singular use of a quasar blueprint in it. this blueprint has FOUR upgrades instead of three for some reason.
durability +10%
Damage +4%
Reloading time -9%
Projectile speed +15%
this thing requires bearings to get. and in order to get this you have to pay 27 dollars for the deluxe edition of the mini pass just to get it… predatory much?
also they are giving away dinos and argus’ in the mini pass to alongside the whaler cabin.
also noticed you can buy the blueprint in the shop for 9000 coins lol. wtf is this mobile bullcrap doing in here?
“you can pay 23 dollars more and a buttload of coins get another fused quasar!”
nah ill pass.
Well, that isnt all.
Firstly, in minipass there only one blueprint, second blueprint you can take for bearings, for what you need elite mionipass or 10 levels more then you can gain with normal minipass.
10k gold for complect of purple weapon, i guess that is what we all were waiting to. Alright, there were joules, and they also were absurdly expensive… I guess crossout just dying and Skula want to gain more money while there is at least one donating player.
It’s not just the gun, you also get coin packs for your bearings, effectively giving you about 3600 coins if you claim them all before the pass is over… Kinda like a better premium.
As far as the custom gun goes, I’ve found a few problems that we’ll have to deal with in the future:
4 upgrades: That already makes it better than the regular quasar, no matter what that one can get when fused. The 10% damage bonus is twice as much as what basic quasars get from a fusion, and it’s either that or extra reload speed, not both.
The perk: I haven’t played with or against quasars all that much, but I know it’s hard to get the most out of its perk considering everyone in this game uses every weapon as if they were shotguns and the maps encourage said tactics. You have to hit something from any distance between 300 and 400 mts with a slow and shiny light ball that pretty much anynon-bloated build can dodge. Sure, it’s easier to play hit and run and get diminishing returns, and that is what this custom version wants you to do. Go fast, run past someone in your generic harpy opressor pancake and land a quick punch on them. It brings down the gun’s skill floor by a lot…
Visual recognition: How am I supposed to know if my opponent is using a regular quasar, a regular fused quasar, or a custom one when they all look exactly the same? How am I gonna adapt my tactics when I can’t tell whether they will start running circles around me or snipe me?
You can buy it from the market: Yeah, sure. Until one day you can’t, because it has become bp exclusive. This opens the door for more shady moves from the devs, stuff like custom guns that are actually better than their free counterparts in every aspect, thus making the game 100% p2w (right now it’s on 70% aprox.). We should have seen it coming when they gave us that melee claw workpiece.
as far as i know theres only one workpiece of that claw in the game. i only got one myself and i never seen anyone else with two.
this is basically what this games become. in the battlepass currently you got around 72 items right? well 22 of those items are temporary so that leaves 50 items left. 12 of those items in the reward pool are frames that take up 12 slots. so we got 38 items that are permanent out of 72 and out of 75 levels.
a large majority of the items that are temporary are the blueprints which go away after the pass ends.
its still adding nothing to a gun whos bullet hit box is the size of a Tylenol. seriously trying to hit something from far away with a quasar is impossible. youd have better luck trying to hit a fly from 5 miles away with a mortar cannon!
whats the point? they both suck really badly. sure that one does slightly more damage but the gun is just awful.
