If I recall correctly the devs said exotics are more for fun than practicality. If this is the case, then why not allow us to equip more than one exotic at this point in the game. maybe not multiple armor exotics, but being able to equip two exotic weapons, would be fun imo. I know it has always been 1exotic weapon, and 1 exotic armor since td1. I just think 2 exotic weapons would be more fun. I would be a blast to wield bullet king and pestilence simultaneously. Just a suggestion.
I posed this same question more than a year ago, and the devs said "no way."Originally Posted by E.M.P.I. Go to original post
The principle explanation was that in Div 1 exotics were mostly a meta of whatever gun they were based on (i.e. SMG and The House). Their talents were unique, but still somewhat grounded in reality.
In Div 2 the exotic talents tend to be much more bizarre (i.e. Pestilence and the Plague of the Outcasts, which at that time was till the deadly cloud), and the concern was that allowing these to be grouped up would likely produce a single meta exotic build that everyone would use, eliminating any and all build variety.
If you don't agree don't yell at me, I am just repeating what they said to me. I'd personally love to be able to equip all exotics for fun. If they are worrried about diversity they could block such builds (or nerf them) when entering any PvP mode.
I dunno. Sometimes I think equipping 2 pieces of gear wouldn't be broken..
Would the tardigrade armor and sawyers kneepads really be that op.
Or the vile mask with btsu gloves.
Or coyote mask with the gunslinger holster. The 2 pieces id actually like to use on my tip of the spear build especially when running pistolero.
Maybe split it i dunno so you can have one piece of either mask body or backpack. And one piece of gloves holster or kneepads..
A thread i did 6 days ago.
Feel Free OP or anyone else to chime in here or there.

What about the Vile mask and the Acosta's bag?Originally Posted by CalvyB Go to original post
Division you could have all exotics on at once.Originally Posted by E.M.P.I. Go to original post
I don't see the point of having an exotic gears and weapon in game that you can only use one of them and most say it is OP, like what? That should drive us players to tackle challenging tasks with the exotics we farmed or grinded for hundreds of hours. Other games not looter shooters allows you to equip all exotic items available.
In TD 1, I don't see the issue where everyone has exotics and I don't see the issue that they are OP because exotics are designed or built that way to provide additional bonuses to the player, having one exotic to be equipped is not fun why? It only limits the potential of the exotic and bonuses even if you mix match results always does not go to what you are expecting if in PVP yes it is understandable but on a PVE scenario? I do not see any problem with that.
For me honestly I get rid of my exotic gears cause they are not beneficial to me where one build works fine, and then the next build has less potent or functionality, I always wonder what was the dev's thinking limiting the use of exotic gears to 1 piece only and 1 exotic weapon.
I tried this on more than one occasion and found all-exotic builds to actually be pretty unusable next to the Classified gear. A six-piece Nomad or Striker build, with two exotic weapons, would have reigned supreme over any mix-and-match all-exotic setup.Originally Posted by YodaMan 3D Go to original post
Having said that, I did put one together at my son's behest, just so I could say I had a build that was 9 exotics. It was a little goofy in PvE but I didn't dare wear it into the DZ. Coming up agaiunst one of the aforementioned Classified sets I would've been handed my arse on a glass plate.![]()
They're not best in slot, as per Dev comments, & we don't have enough stash space to make a build around every exotic. Having them all as an option to equip is a good idea & could be fun. This was also possible in TD1 & it wasn't such a meta build. Everyone still wore Stryker/Nomad/D3FNC/etc. I guess players aren't allowed to do content or have fun in their own way. Only the Dev's way of fun...
