[SUGGESTION] Exo Suit Abilities? | Forums

[N3ngrana]

So I have 2 of the exo suit pieces and it seems these are only cosmetic. Would it be possible to have each piece have a small boost or passive ability?
Exo legs grand faster movement, Shoes eliminate sound, Arms/chest piece have recoil/incoming dmg mitigation etc. I think its cool we have all these cosmetic plate carriers/helmets etc but I would really like some functionality out of them. I dont know if thats something you can patch in but I would like to see it.
Thanks!

Actually the silent running would be a poor thing with the exo. If we could get it as they are supposed to be, we'd get these:

Larger loadouts, carry a third long gun maybe, more gear.
Negate recoil
Throw stuff lfarther

Also exo use should make the UNIDAD more alert. There are these four guys using stuff not on the market yet... Would have to cause alerts
Similarly while I love the idea of the exos they are such a major breach of masquerade. Anyone looking at the TF will know they're not just mercs.

The chest/arms piece should give you a unique melee takedown here you like grab someone by the face and smash their skull into the ground or something.

I know unique melee attacks are typically tied to gloves, but this could override that. Or maybe the vest piece mesh could be modified to include gloves and block that slot for any other item.

Suit like that, you really ought to be able to hulksmash things.

As far as PvE goes I don't mind as long as it's not over the top like a COD Future Enemy Soldier Veteran.
I personally wouldn't use it anyway.

But for PvP, a big fat No. Keep it cosmetic in PvP.

Honestly, and I suprise myself here, I'd prefer if it was just cosmetic. Put any sort of ability on it and you effectively make it the required cosmetic piece to equip. Solo play not an issue, playing in a team either co-op or PvP and you can bet it will become a requirement.

Personally, I reckon be patient. Rome wasn't built in a day. There's undoubtedly a grander plan here.

Only if every other piece of gear also has a bearing, so weight is an issue, colour and camo have an effect etc. Exo suits can join the queue behind that lot and if they ever get functional in game then should have realistic power packs, not Tony Stark sci-fi packs.

yea sorry i was talking PVE.
I dont really play ghost war but giving it abilities would make it a requirement in PVP which would blow. I would prefer they kept that stuff solo anyway as with any of the things I mentioned. Just get tired of having all armor etc as fashion items.

Also everyone has been asking for no backpacks. The back piece of this exo suit removes the back pack.
