[2021] Gold Magazines confirmed for Season 8!!!

I think some of you imagine this to be a lot faster than it is. There's a good delay before a holstered weapon is reloaded, and if it turns out that delay isn't long enough, we can always increase it. This shouldn't be usable for cheating out of a reload; this should be for switching to another weapon, using it for a bit, and then switching back to your reloaded initial weapon.

It's still really powerful! But I wanted to jump in before everyone thinks this is instant or whatever.

I don't actually know! I didn't work on the feature. I've definitely seen light/heavy/energy in our playtests, I don't recall off the top of my head if there's gold snipers, but if I had to guess I'd say yes? You'll know soon enough!

I don't think we're treating shotgun bolts as mags (since they don't increase ammo capacity), so I don't think there's a gold bolt. Again, I didn't work on the feature myself tho.

This is a great question to ask our weapon designers whenever the S8 AMA rolls around. I don't work on weapons and mods so I don't wanna misrepresent their thinking!

Yup! Quick popup and IIRC a sound. I never miss when my offhand is reloaded in playtests, so whatever they're doing is working for me.

I don't think so, and that may well be a concern! I don't know how often it's relevant to track an enemy through two different reloads, but I could see this being frustrating if it happens.

Nothing planned for him other than actually shipping the footstep sounds. Oopsy.
