The little screen on the back also reacts to everything you do - firing, ADS firing, equipping, and reloading. It's unique for each of the different themes too (Knockout, Bazooka, and Dance).

I love absolutely everything about this skin-line except the actual skin appearance lol. How disappointing.

Sorry to hear you love it but are disappointed by the appearance. I hope when you see it in game, you love it as much as we do and appreciate the design choices down to the smallest details (there are SO MANY little details in these that you'll uncover -- like the Operator "powering down/up" by turning red when you inspect, kinda like a console glitching out).

Like other folks in the thread have pointed out: 1. the guns are an homage to old-school gaming consoles (melee is like a controller) 2. the simpler gun model lets the insane visual effects that move across the weapon during idle and react on reload/equip/inspect come to life instead of looking really busy (imagine if we had pixelated effects on the dragon skins -- it would be really messy and visually unappealing).

Don’t let these GEN z kids get to you. Boomer here. I played street fighter and DDR in ACTUAL arcades. Also, I remember being excited for sega Dreamcast 😂 which I image the melee is kinda modeled after? THIS IS FOR 90s KIDS. make a skin that looks like a touch screen and these kids will shut up (I tested it on my 3 year old nephew works great). I’m glad to see you are here reading the comments. Really shows that you guys care! CHEEEERS!!

I'm also a 90s kid! :D Thank you for the kind words!
