Predetermined Loadouts! Unlock beginner friendly & team equipment!

[turbid steeple]

The game could be more friendly to new players by unlocking multiple weapons, attachments & equipment from the start by showing off some pre-selected loadouts.
Maybe even showing a little video what to do.

Example:
Smoke Medic - Shoot smoke launcher 😶‍🌫️ at downed teammate, revive.
Defender - Hold shield 🛡️ & advance on to objective with team following.

I think team equipment should be unlocked right from the start. Maybe you're not the best player, but can contribute in other ways.
I also think beginners could have several attachments with a few guns unlocked right away. This will toss a bone 🍖 to new players who are at a MASSIVE disadvantage compared to experienced players with a whole arsenal.

Thank you for reading 👍
EDIT: Also, custom loadouts would be cool ☃️

Hmmmmm

[sullen grove]

thinking like COD default loadouts from back in the day?

[turbid steeple]

🔍 More along the lines of Overwatch, where there are multiple ways of playing the same class.

[sullen grove]

soo... COD default loadouts like back in the day.

I agree on having the Smoke Launcher and Shield unlocked right away, it will help new players a lot (even prestige ones)

[placid terrace]

shield unlocked right away will reduce the frustration when they reach lvl 100 and realize it sucks ass

[hollow talon]

I always saw OW as a character is made to be played one way and there aren't many other options, that is more TF2

[crude wadi]

Also this, lmao

[plucky lion]

sadly you dont have the option for hip firing with a sidearm when the shield is out

basically a hip fire with a slightly bigger spread compared to regular hip fire

imagine the amount of assault that will use the shield if the shield actually does appear behind their back while holstered and actually blocks shot from the back that way

[placid terrace]

imagine if the shield actually blocks shots from the front when used

[plucky lion]

does it not?

[placid terrace]

no

not always

[plucky lion]

well it would be different if they give a short ballistic shield similar to the one in CoD. where you have to crouch to provide full body coverage otherwise your leg can be shot

[placid terrace]

that's already the case

but even when you crouch you can be shot from the front

[plucky lion]

not sure if its because of penetration or bug if thats the case

[sullen grove]

yeah the tips of your toes are exposed, if you get hit your ankles are exposed, the window is not bullet proof. no explosive protection at all either.

also please don't don't talk about COD making people think a plastic riot shield is bulletproof, instead of a ballistic shield.

[plucky lion]

was COD using a plastic riot shield? its been so long since I last played the damn game ever since it broke on me during reinstall

I remember the shield being a thick one

[sullen grove]

a riot shield is plastic

no exceptions

[final moon]

Pretty sure cod nowdays uses balistic ones in the game

[sullen grove]

the one they based it on is a heavy duty one no doubt but it would act as most maybe a flak jacket for shrapnel.

[sullen grove]

yeah but tell me, which one do you think of when you hear "Riot Shield from COD"?

[final moon]

Either the big black one or the full on plastic one

[plucky lion]

I only think of the black one since the only time I started COD was when Warzone is released

[final moon]

Pretty sure majority of heavy duty ones do act as flak jackets

And double as protection from smaller calibers

[sullen grove]

level 1 armor at best, I will admit.

[sullen grove]

that may be why, Still a pet peeve of mine they call the newer ones "riot shields"

[placid terrace]

does anyone know if you can look up with the shield or if the shield keeps pointing forward?

[final moon]

Last i checked you can only move upwards a bit

[placid terrace]

because first person allows to look up quite a bit but idk if third person is the same

Smoke medic 🤡
