After the last two major patches we now have a huge pool of viable options and five loadouts is starting to feel restrictive. I’d suggest increasing the number to 10 in the base game.
Furthermore the list of icons we can use to mark the loadouts is handy but it needs more variety. Some ideas for new icons:
-
Miniature weapons. You won’t be able to make the icons super detailed at this scale, but it should still be possible to make things like “a revolver” and “a shovel” recognizable. Some weapons like bolters and chainsword are particularly iconic. A single icon for each category of weapon like “sword”, “axe”, “hammer” would suffice, you don’t need to have an icon for each type or variant.
-
Blitzes and Ults. Some character builds are built around the use of an ult, or emphasize a specific blitz ability. For instance a veteran built might emphasize Volley Fire, or stack grenade boosting talents to make Krak grenades as powerful as possible. It wouldn’t be that hard to create unique icons for these abilities because most of them already have a distinct symbol. An icon for assail or a ogryn frag grenade would be easy enough.
