Here’s a TL/DR: Players can pre-equip gear from the Requisition menu at home or lobby menu. Pre-equipping gear means that your Loadout will automatically change to those items on your next spawn when you rank up. Players can pre-equip two weapons from each req level category, and one armor mod, starting from level 5. This pre-equip can be changed around whenever, and the pre-equips will apply to every Warzone game, forever, until the user changes their pre-equip preferences or decides to disable it.
If you have any questions, I went pretty in depth with the full post if your feeling up to a little reading.
^^^ TL/DR included.
Idea: Players can set Loadout options to automatically equip on their next spawn, when they reach the required REQ level.
Example: When I start a Warzone, I use the default gear until level 2. Once I hit level two, I immediately equip a new Assault Rifle. When I hit level 3, I immediately equip a battle rifle. When I hit level 4, I change the battle rifle out for a recon battle rifle, and I change my pistol out for an SMG. When I hit level 5, I equip an armor mod, change out my battle rifle for a low recoil battle rifle, and change my SMG to another variant of battle rifle. When I hit level 6, I swap out the low recoil battle rifle for a projection SMG. When I hit level 7, I keep the projection SMG as a secondary, and equip a recon DMR as primary.
Moral of this story is, I have grown tired of constantly swapping around gear on every single REQ level. I feel it would make life a thousand times easier if we can pre-set what Loadout options we would like to use, once the REQ level is obtained.
I think it would be simple enough to integrate into the game. How I imagine it:
• A simple reorganization of the Loadout screen in the collection tab of Req’s.
- This reorganization would simply categorize weapons into Req level requirements, starting from least to greatest
Ex: When you go into Assault Rifles, it displays level 1 REQ rifles first, and as you scroll, the REQ level requirements get higher and higher
• When a player selects a weapon, it gains the yellowish-orange tab on the corner, indicating it has been pre-set. Exactly how the game shows you which cosmetic item you’ve selected
• Players can pre-set two weapons from each Req level, and a single armor mod once their REQ level permits the use of the armor mod
- Players will still spawn with the standard magnum and assault rifle.
Ex: Let’s say I pre-set a standard battle rifle, and a recon assault rifle, both of which are level two reqs. When I reach req level two, I will automatically have my weapons changed to those two weapons, ON MY NEXT RESPAWN. I feel I need to emphasize the “on the next respawn”, because I can already see people shooting the idea down, because they think I’m suggesting to magically acquire a new weapon once a req level up occurs.
• If players do not wish for pre-set load outs to occur automatically, they can simply not use the feature by deselecting weapons in the Loadout section, or never selecting weapons in the first place from the Loadout screen in the req collection menu.
• Also worth stating that if a player doesn’t want a Loadout swap on a particular req level, they can avoid that by not setting any weapons for a particular level. Example, the player wants to carry over their req level 3 gear during their req level 4, but would like to swap gear at req level 5. This player can set pre-sets for both level 3 and 5, but not select anything for level 4. This means when this player hits level 4, they will still have their level 3 gear equipped without any automatic swaps on their next spawn.
• Players can still swap gear freely, exactly like how it is now. All this idea does, is that it automatically swaps gear for you between spawns to pre-selected gear , that way you don’t have to swap it after each and every req level up, every single game.
• If a player has a pre-set that they decide they don’t need mid-match, this player can simply use a req station on the battle field, or the spawn menu to manually swap an item, exactly like how it is now. So pre-sets don’t force users into using the gear they pre-selected, if the user decides the pre-set doesn’t fit the particular match.
