There is a bug when you add someone to your party and you are sitting in the Adventure Menu that causes a new menu placeholder called "Arena Mode".
It also reveals the purple tickets to be called "Invitations",

Also, currently, if you position your cursor correctly, I can see the titles of yet to be released missions.

The first Wardog Fury placeholder is "Short Fused"
The second WF mission is called "No Reservations"
The second Council Apocalypse mission is labeled "Cyborg Station".

I dunno if the devs care about this stuff being revealed but, hey, there it is. Interesting.

I mean what did the team comp look like? That has a big factor in it as well.

I'm not entirely sure that character in that video wasn't just an earlier version of Harec before they settled on him being a Sniper/Rifleman class. He is damn close to Harec after all in design. There is also no mention of another Alien period anywhere in any of the lore so I'm more or less convinced he is just being misunderstood to be a different character and is just a prototype of Harec.

There's 2 slots in the alien section. I admit, I don't know what they'd do with a revolver character wth lycus and Alica but honestly more interesting than a prototype.
Though, I wouldn't be supported by random prototypes  in trailers.

I think it's a new character. The most obvious implementation of a revolver wielding Antagonist would be to take advantage of the Alien perk where the don't get as stressed as other factions. This would lead to a stealthier CQC centric character that would sneak up on people (since Harec and Shae are like low tier CQ combatants, Harec more so than Shae.)
Lycus has moderate stress levels and Alicia... sheesh, she can't hide ever. Lol.

I don't need it.
It's just a system in the game that should not have a paywall. Like really? I remember playing games and not having to pay MORE cash for loadouts and ranking. LMAO.
Believe it or not, I'm old enough to remember unlocking skins in game without paying for them.

Now look, I understand that you have to be aggressive in today's market. But with a new IP? I mean, I've defended this game on many fronts but it's getting hard to defend.

I'd actually really like a developer's insight on some of the pricing of skins and the decision to make it affect ranking.
Call it silly all you want, I think it is valid to want a whole game when I buy it.

So it was brought to my attention by a friend that the in game lore boosts your rank, which is silly.

And then I had the sudden realization, which horrified me: Do skins count toward your level?

Like if I bought a skin, with money, would it increase my rank? If so, that is absolutely RIDICULOUS.

I don't want to open another topic, but i have  another question for devs  (sorry if i'm a pain in the neck).

Last 2 days i played a lot with 2 friends; we hit 54% difficulty ( squid phase of the last mission is pretty impossible), we completed around 35-40 missions playing together in the last 2 days.

In NONE of those mission we had antagonist and absolutely NO weapon blueprint drop.

Then i go play  with random player and missions are easy, 2\3 times there was antagonist, a lot of reward and blueprint even if u don't complete the stage!!
How this is possible?
It seems that game punish you for team play!
Or the MMR just can't find an antagonist for us and we are pretty unlucky?
It begins to be a bit frustrating if when i play with friends missions are hellish and gives less reward (and no weapon).
Thanks for your patience.

Weird, I thought I was just super unlucky when playing with friends. This happens to me too.

Well, as the devs have said before, you should pick the Antag for the job., so while I agree Hans is spectacular on some maps, so is Kuzmann/Shae/Alicia. I can't see most of the others as viable Antags. And like I said, it's from what I've seen, as little as I've played lately, can't seem to get into a match on Xbox, like, ever anymore.
A smart Kuzmann takes advantage of AI movements, and his ability is actually really useful in CQC. Is he OP? No, but he is powerful when played intelligently, which you may not have seen done yet.
Do I think Hans is a powerful Antag? Yes. The best? No. He is so vulnerable while airborne to actual gunfire, any smart team just focus fires on him when they see him flying towards them. Konstantin is also a good counter (keeping him at arms length for his teammates), as well as Harec, who simply put, is the Antagonist Slayer.

But I definitely agree on that, far bigger problems than balancing issues.

This goes back to something I mentioned in a big forum post I made the other day, in that I think a dojo should be implemented in the game, where you can train with characters against AI, practice abilities and such. In the same way, it would be nice to try out characters not unlocked yet or weapons.
