Twitter QnA Question list: TR Week

[basti]

Once again, as always: Post your questions, I collect them, Hamma asks them during the QnA for you, and you get answers pretty fast after it, or follow it live.

And also as always: remember the freaking Character limit!
125 MAX! NOT MORE!

Also, it would be quite helpful if you just post your question like this:

Blablabla im awesome can i haz stuff


Dont do " or Q: Blabla or whatever crazy stuff you think makes it easy to see that you have a question, because its useless. I know that you want your question on the list, so no worrys! :P


Oh, and one last thing: Its TR week, so ask Questions about them, their weapons, Their story, whatever. Just keep it to TR. If we end up having only a few questions, i still have a long list of questions from the other QnAs, so no worrys, we have plenty of ammunition to fire at them.


Ask away!

edit:
If your a PS2 dev that intents to answer some stuff that got lost during the QnA, i shorted the stuff for you. Theres a big purple line between the answered stuff and the nonanswered stuff.

will the tr uniform become more red as you gain BR like in original or will they be stuck with the bland brown wooly jumper look we've seen so far

[basti]

Ah, a bunch of stuff we already know:

Bags: Personal opinion is not base for a question. Everyone thinks that their guns are the whorst.

TRex, they already said that the coloring is part of customization. Means you can color your Armor the way you want it, within the limits of your faction. Read T-Rays Art Com uplink for that.
