The Gunbreaker AF gear's dye maps are disappointing.

I'm extremely dissatisfied with this, to say the least.



It would have been preferable for the body armor to be left alone when dying the coat, but the second dye channel is particularly egregious. I don't see the point of even having a second dye channel if it isn't going to be used effectively, and the choice to have it change the color of the collar while ignoring the red, which is effectively the main color alongside black, not only severely limits the piece's aesthetic potential, but also just comes off as exceedingly lazy and cutting corners.

I adore the set itself conceptually, but not being able to at least swap the red to any other color but letting me dye the comparatively inoffensive collar is a decision I fail to understand the reasoning behind. I hope this is just a temporary measure for the media tour and the final in-game piece will use the second channel to dye all of the red accents instead, because this really kills the enjoyment that my main job has a cool new AF set provides when I'm limited by a seemingly thoughtless decision like this.

That's really bad. What is the point of adding a second dye channel when they pull crap like this? A jarring red gradient we can't change which will clash with almost all colors outside of white/black and an ugly green collar that doesn't change. Who is in charge of these decisions?

[OgruMogru]

oh that's awful

[FinnHakarl]

Indeed... There's not much of a reason for there to be a second dye channel at all if it's only going to be used for incredibly minor accents

I'm okay with the red gradient. I would have liked to see the scarf as the second dye channel, though.

Thank you! I was a bit baffled the moment I saw the choice of dye channels for GNB.

I would've been okay with a lot of options:

1. Coloring the red part
2. coloring the metal
3. even coloring the belts.

But i think making the "white" part the second dye channel was not a very good choice. It is a very small area.

And also the red makes combining different glams harder.

I really don't like it and had hoped for different dye channels.

I've also noticed the bottom of the coat is lacking the tatters as seen in the render, which is a bit of an odd choice?



Is the piece we've seen footage of somehow not finalized, and they just slapped the dye channel onto the collar to make sure every bit of gear was capable of showing off the new system? I'm aware it's more likely than not a reach, but I really hope that the final ingame gear will have a dye channel remapped to all of the red elements rather than the collar. Otherwise I'll have to hope for a retexture from PVP who knows how many years from now, or something.

[ForteNightshade]

I was worried they might cut corners like this. It's really inexcusable on mainline gear like AF sets though. They're trying to sell the second dye channel as a big addition and opt for a very poor option. Hopefully, this is just a small oversight and not a consistent problem.

[CCheshire]

Ouch I was hyped for the GNB coat from the trailers but now not so much. Also, I didn't realize how much the red part ruined the overall dye options until just this moment. I just wish it was better.

[Boblawblah]

oh wow, that is...so bad..
