I’m a bit baffled right now. I spent some time scouring the net for V2 cosmetics posted on blogs, forums, YT etc.
All I gathered was some-teen with most being re-colours (I think). SO I checked the update trailer and it says it introduces 100+ cosmetics. So, where are they?
I have to ask, are the weapon skins counted as cosmetics? I am interested HOW MANY are actually there for the characters?
Is it possible they are soo rare no one seen them yet? I find it doubtful, so the only answer that comes to mind that its all there is, really. Which is sad.
Does anyone know or head anything about the subject?
I think each career currently has 3 possible hats. That’s 45 items right there, and they’re so rare few people have them. The drop chance is only from commendation chests and the likelihood is something stupid like <2% chance per chest with no bad luck protection. Add in the reskins/hats for the classes doing champ/legend and that’s another 30-50 items, and the frames might be another 45. Soon adds up to at least the 110 advertised.
This isn’t counting the ones the modders have found that aren’t in the game yet.
For a quick calculation, several people have estimated there to be three randomly dropped pieces of headgear per character. At least one for each existed before the fashion update, so let’s go with that. That means 2x15 pieces to be dropped from chests - 30. Another 15 from Challenges - 45. Two unlockable armor recolors for each career - 75. And two unlockable portrait borders per career - that makes 105 altogether. Voilá, there’s your 100+ cosmetics. There might even be a couple of additional ones from challenges, I didn’t pay that much attention to their rewards. A majority of them are unlockable through challenges, so you won’t see that much different ones from chests, and the odds of one dropping still aren’t that high.
I’m up to 9, lol. Got all 3 for each career of Kerillian. As I’ve said before, they all dropped within 30 hours. Now I haven’t seen a single one in over 100 hours xD
I’ve opened over 250 comm chests and got only 3 hats. Not that I care that much since they all look like garbage. I’ll just stick to the 100 achiv HM helmet, but… it’s ridiculous.
Over the weekend I was touched by the Gods and got 2 hats for Kerr - HM. Which is a shame coz they look good but I dont play HM that much.
The ones I got are a helmet with twisted horns and a blalaclava with red scarf on the face and a circlet on the forehead.
And they could make it expensive. 30 star dust for one cosmetic. Idc. But atleast everyone could get the cosmetic they want and it would be fair. Not like this crazy RNG system.
