Where are the alien weapons at?asked by Az-Tek
TL;DRAlien weapons are not being done yet because the team is still building out human manufacturers' weapon families and exotic weapons first, but alien weapons are intended once that direction expands.
Yeah, I'll put those ideas in our backlog. But yeah, so basically, we actually talked quite in depth recently about the way we approach our weapon manufacturers. So something that we're still doing at the moment is we're really trying to still build up our human manufacturers. So they're like ones that you've seen already, like Gemini, Kastak Arms, Behring, Klaus & Werner, all of those guys. And we're still trying to basically build out the weapon family from each of those manufacturers in an interesting way. So as we talked about recently with the brands, we try and push out functionality between these different weapons, so they've each got these identifiable traits, so they're different from each other. And we're still coming up with new ideas that will work with these as well. So as we finish these out, we're going to start seeing more and more exotic weapons, as we've been calling them internally. So we recently released the Lightning Bolt Company sniper rifle, the Atzkav, and the Yubarev. Those are very different compared to our regular weapons. They're using Electron damage, which operates really differently, and they've got a much more non-standard look to them, I'll say. So as we start pushing more and more in that direction, that's when we're going to start actually looking at alien weapons. So it's not the case that we don't want to do them, or we can't do them for any reason. It's just a case of: we have prioritized these more standard manufacturers first to get a good base, and then we're going to start looking at things that are a little bit more unique.
