Can we please get different penances for the 6 total “top tier” cosmetics in the game. The one I am currently doing is “Make every shot count” for the Veteran Sharpshooter class. The penance states that I must complete a level 4 Heresy mission, with 100% accuracy and 0 ammo remaining. The problem with this is that I can’t just naturally play the game and skill will grant me the penance. I have to go out of my way to equip a revolver, which has the lowest ammo count, to reliably have a shot at getting this completed. Not only is it already 47~ shots I have to hit, I have to account for the unbelievable amount of Elite enemies in level 4 missions. And then I have to hope, after all that time spent on a lvl 4 mission, that an Elite doesnt spawn near the end of a match and leave me with 4 bullets regenerated because of Veterans’ passive which regenerates ammo when an elite is killed by anyone. And let me tell ya, the revolver is basically one of the worst out there. I am wasting so… much… time… trying to do this the “correct” way. I am wasting not only my time, but a LOT of other people’s time when I have to equip a very rough veteran ranged weapon. I honestly don’t even finish missions anymore if I miss a shot. I leave all my teammates, 1 2 or 3, and go search for another match. I have ruined a lot of matches simply because im not shooting at the very quick Pox Hound thats also very laggy and glitchy, or I’m not risking shooting the sniper across the map because of cover or sudden suppression. I have a suggestion. Change it to be, say, “Complete a Heresy (or higher) mission, with 100% accuracy, and at least 10 elite and 10 special last hits”. OR ANYTHING that doesnt actively make me a detriment to my team. Why must it be 0% ammo remaining? why? If I was really trying to do this mission with a good Lasgun, why would i go out of my way to make sure I’m constantly low on ammo? It makes. Zero. Sense. Honestly remove 100% accuracy too, the dogs, mutants, and the hit reg is so bad in general. Numerous times I see blood splatter out of an enemy thats taking cover, but i’m flanking and have a wide shot on him, but the game doesnt register damage or a hitmarker at all. Totally can see the blood from what a regular hitmarker would do, but it ruins the run and I now have to abandon the match and leave 3 people with a bot on the second hardest difficulty.
It’s not fun. Plain and simple. It promotes so much frustration and toxicity. It just feels bad to even try to do them.
Agreed, they’re not “natural”.
I quite liked the Ogryn penances, at least the early ones.
The issue is that it requires so much coordination to even pull off. If you are an average person who doesn’t have an entire stack of people to work with it’s just luck. Whether it is luck of the RNG spawn or luck of the RNG group you’re with. It feels like a troll and after trying over and over I just gave up. How rewarding is that? To feel so left up to RNG that you just give up. It’s not rewarding. My biggest problem with almost every single penance that is class specific is that it has a cosmetic behind it and it doesn’t show a “flex of skill.” It’s tedious, it’s frustrating, it’s unrewarding to try to do, it feels terrible forcing others to accommodate you , and the end is just a sigh of relief that you’re finally done with the nonsense and can finally get back to playing the game.
