Lootbox Warning
This game contains gambling (Lootboxes) Why EA why do you not learn? Sadly this great game is now a hard pass for me ...
I have nothing in general against lootboxes in a freetoplay game. I only think many of the cosmetic items like weapon skins look a little bit to childish and silly. There are to many skins where the weapon glow in ugly colors or have some very generic looking low resolution attachments around them like chains. I have nothing against collerfull multi color weapon skins, if they are done well. But some of the textures on them like those blue glowing handguns look just to silly. They look like some 9 years old kid paints a overly unnecessary overcomplex weapon at school, with weaponparts which seem to have no function other then to look intimenating, which he finds cool looking. Just like out of some transformer movie.
To be more clear about it, i do not mean the general weapon design. I love the look of weapons like the large 50mm sniper, the wingman or the tripple take.The general design of those weapons is well done. But some of their alternate color skins where they start glowing and stuff makes them look really cheap. Especially because of low quality shaders and low res textures on those alternate weapon skins.
Another good example is the pathfinder robot. His core model just looks uninspired, especially his head which looks like a flashlight. I think the robot from lawbreakers worked better designwise:
