I've never looked into these until recently when I got the President pistol for all my hard work and boy-oh-boy are they pitifully crappy! You'd think we'd get more reward for over 5000 kills with pistols, but no, we get an un-creative downgrade to the normal pistols. It's just your standard pistol with a suppressor on it... Sure you get like 4ish more meters on the high damage end but that's it... NOTHING else! (someone pleeeeeeease tell me this is not the case :{ Really Daybreak? I'll keep this short and simple. I guarantee most everyone would rather prefer the normal pistol with a laser, heck, a lot of people don't even like to suppress pistols! Why not just put the suppressor and laser on the default pistol!? It's better that way because laser>>>4meters in range! Heck, a lot of people like the dark-light too, but on these aurax pistols it's just NOPE, you get crap for your hard work, have a nice day Really Daybreak, REALLY? Why not simply add the laser and make the suppressor have no downsides!? That would be about worth the over 5000 kills we have to achieve to get these pieces of crap! Repeater>>>President Laser>>>4ish meters Same goes for all rest. PFFT, come on Daybreak, this is just stupid, pull it together please.
the Directive "president" only works based on the current president.... it may be more or less effective every election - the Donalt Trump version shoots cash -
I agree they should be better, given what one needs to do to get them, but they are actually better around the 7m-10m, if one were to use a silencer anyways, and would ADS rather than hipfire. Not really worth the work, for the most part.
Imo, the directive system was meant for those who wanted it. To have cheevo's, something to do, confetti's. If people actually work for the directives then its the wrong way to go. It would be different if you would get somewhat OP weapons, as the saying goes,.. who works for almost nothing? Directives are for people that actually enjoy wasting time for it.
Directives weapons are lack luster. Almost all of them. Toast is right but then why even bother implementing such system if it is not an achievement to aim forward? There are several topics about all of them and nobody is asking something OP. Re the President it should at least be like the repeater with laser sight and silencer plus 4m effective range. That wouldn't be OP at all but make it a little bit better and thus worth it compared to the stock gun.
I was going to say but others beat me to it, the directives weapons are not very good. This has always been the case though and nothing new. Godsaw, for instance, is just a more difficult version of the Gauss Saw. The only upside to using those directives weapons is that theyre so ****** that if you get good with them then it means you're pretty much at mastery level for any gun 'lower' on the weapon tier. If anything, I could consider directive weapons as training weapons, training in the sense that if you practice and get good with them, you'll be god with anything 'worse'.
Got an auraxium medal on The Executive to finish off the pistols. After 1160 kills, it is my least favorite pistol in the game... I had more fun using the mag scatter than this...
Directive rewards should have always just been bragging rights / cosmetics, not independent weaponry.
