worse than pay 2 win


i finally had some time to check the weapons in the glorious new VR area, and now i feel totally ripped off!

the devs promised to keep the game free from pay 2 win, and whenever somebody said the game was p2w i fought on soes side because i really thought the concept worked.

but now after testing the weapons in VR i am very disappointed that i cannot even buy the only gun i really like!

the best gun in the game (in my opinion) is the ns11 platinum, and even for real money i cannot buy it because it´s US gamestopcard exclusive.
but i already bought my SC before the game was released and there are no gamestops in my country.

so why is this exclusive a real weapon, instead of something cosmetic?

or is there a weapon with same stats and feel as the ns11 platinum just with a not so stylish skin/model i missed?

Same stats and slightly different skin. The platinum is more white by default I believe. The NS-11a is completely identical to the NS-11p though.

Re: worse than pay 2 win


thanks a lot for the spreadsheet!

i looked for info about ns11 a and p before posting my rant but couldn´t find any data on them. and like i said, in the vr the platinum felt more accurate. maybe i messed up by forgetting to equip a forward grip or something.

ok, sorry for ranting about nothing then

Honestly I could see his concern if there was no way at all to get it. But anytime you create a pay to win thread god kills a kitten.

That's because vr isn't the best place to compare and test weapons. It gives an idea of how the gun behaves, but a lot of guns can feel overpowered there. When in actual battle, they might suck.

yeah, let´s kill more kittens! they are tasty!

but remember, this was my very first p2w thread at all (after launch of beta)
and only because i thought i could not get the gun even with money.

good thing i don´t care for the looks too much.

Since we are on the topic of 'unavaible' guns.. How much better does the facebook gun feel to the stock TX1, the sounds are much better and feels like it fires slightly faster (although having same stats as the TX1)
