Good evening/morning/afternoon/night/where every you live Waypoint, recently we saw the reveal of the new REQs coming in this month’s update, Hammer Storm. Lots of new stuff was revealed and if you want to see the detailed page, here’s a link. Want just the REQ chart? Here’s a link for that as well. Hammers, balls, and more were shown off so let’s get to breaking down the REQs to see what’s in store this month!
First up, the new weapon REQs. We have the following:
- Gravity Hammer - Rare - Unknown Item - Mythic - Possible Storm Rifle Variant 1 - Uncommon - Possible Storm Rifle Variant 2 - RareIt’s a pretty good assumption that the two new REQs are going to be the Storm Rifle given the lack of variants for them and the fact that the light rifle and carbine received some in previous updates. But what about that Mythic REQ? Fist of Rukt? CE Magnum? A new vehicle?! I have no idea so please give me your ideas in the comments!
Next, the stances, assassinations, and visor Not much for assumption here. We know both of the stances, the Old School was shown in the Arena REQ Bundle, we can clearly see the new visor is a shade of blue and pink. While we can guess as the assassinations, we also have no idea what to expect from these things until we see the names. If you want to guess, be my guest. The new stances, visor, and assassinations are:
-
Old School - Legendary - Hammer Time - Ultra Rare - Blue/pink Visor - Rare - Assassination 1 - Legendary - Assassination 2 - Ultra RareNext up is all the new armor and skins coming in the update! All of these have been showcased but not all of them have their names revealed. If you want to see the new armor, weapon skins and, some of the new colors in full, click this link. Oddly, the previous link and even the teaser showed a new Void Dancer skin yet there’s nothing for it on the REQ chart. At first I left it out but I’ve added it now just to be safe. We have the following:
-
Jumpmaster Dispatcher - Uncommon - Helioskrill Skin 1 - Legendary - Helioskrill Skin 2 - Legendary - Jumpmaster Skin 2 - Legendary - Jumpmaster Skin 3 - Ultra Rare - Shinobi Skin 1 - Ultra Rare - Decimator Armor Set - Unknown rarity - Marauder Armor Set - Unknown rarity - Void Dancer Armor Skin - Unknown rarity - Orange and white weapon skin set - RareNext up is the many new loadouts weapons, saving emblems for last. We see a lot of variety this time around. DMRs, ARs, BRs, even magnums get some new variants! We see a new variant that I’m going to call the energy axe because of it’s icon. Let’s take some guesses as to what they are. I actually have none but here they are:
-
Energy Axe DMR - Legendary - Unknown DMR Variant - Rare - Unknown Magnum Variant 1 - Uncommon - Unknown Magnum Variant 2 - Ultra Rare - Energy Axe AR - Rare - Unknown AR Variant - Common - Energy Axe BR - Rare - Unknown BR Variant - CommonAnd now, the boring part: Emblem filler. I can assume Assault, and maybe even Oddball and Ricochet, will get an emblem given Grifball is getting one. If the hammer has a commendation, which is likely given the SPNKR got one, then I’m sure that’s another emblem that will be commendations and not REQs (thank god). Let’s get to it I guess…
-
Unknown Emblem 1 - Ultra Rare - Unknown Emblem 2 - Ultra Rare - Unknown Emblem 3 - Legendary - Unknown Emblem 4 - Uncommon - Unknown Emblem 5 - Uncommon - Unknown Emblem 6 - Uncommon - Grifball Emblem - Rare - Unknown Emblem 7 - Rare - Unknown Emblem 8 - Common - Unknown Emblem 9 - CommonIn total, that’s 60,000 for all the rare or lesser REQs, which translates to twelve silver packs. 90,000 for gold packs since there are eighteen new Ultra rare+ items which means that’s nine gold packs. 150,000 in total for all the new goodies. If you have everything, that’s all you’ll need. If not, well we’ll work through this together.
