[quote]I know those new guns are new tech we discovered yada yada yada. But why, other than FOMO, would you lock the ability to focus them behind a future weeks upgrade to failsafe? It does not sit well with me that I was shown guns to look forward to only to find this toxic "the marketing team does gameplay now" scheme. Please, no more blatant display of FOMO. Its been enough already.[/quote] That’s time gating, not FOMO. Time gating in acts is going away with the next episode.

  • It's not timegated though. Since we can get both weapons, even craft them, right now. Op is complaining about not getting 1 red border from failsafe, when they probably could have 3 by now just playing the game.

Op is complaining about not getting 1 red border from failsafe, when they probably could have 3 by now just playing the game.[/quote] Specifically, the ability to focus them is timegated. Today is my first day doing the roadway stuff and I have both crafted already, so it really isn’t a big deal.

  • The ability doesn't even matter for the very reason you said about already getting it crafted, so is it really timegating? Lol.

  • [quote]The ability doesn't even matter for the very reason you said about already getting it crafted, so is it really timegating? Lol.[/quote] It is still timegating. Whether or not it’s something to complain about is a different story. Personally, I don’t see a reason to not just let people focus them right away.

  • No it's not. If we couldn't get the weapon, sure, but we can.

  • No need to, I can read fine. Op is complaining about not being able to focus the weapon, so it causes a fomo for him/her. Which doesn't make sense since we can get the weapon right now, without focusing. It doesn't even make sense if that's the only way op planned on getting enough to craft cause the weapon not going anywhere.

The ability to focus the guns is timegated. Actually read the thread. You objectively cannot focus the guns until a future weekly release. It is timegated. Not thinking it is a big deal does not mean it isn’t timegated. It is objectively timegated.

  • Story time gating is going away next episode. Whether or not the rest is going away is yet to be seen
