Crab Spider backpack customization


Blue Rabbit

Currently players only have access to the Web Master backpack. A friend of mine was making a melee-oriented Crab and mentioned that he'd prefer if they looked less like guns. I then noticed that Crab Spider Slicers (NPCs enemies) have backpack limbs that only look like blades - dunno where they fire Longfang out of - and Crab Spider Longfangs have something that looks somewhere in between the Slicer and Web Master limbs.

So, could we get Backpack models for the Slicer and Longfang limbs as costume options for Crab Spiders as well?



I'll post screenshots later.

Would be nice yes.

I'd like to see this happen also, there sould be customiations like Bayonet arms and More robotic looking ones, aswell as a Tasorian and Vanguard versions. But we shouldnt go too far with this, it would remove the 'Crab Spider' look.

I very much doubt there'll be non-arachnos ones, if any more are implemented. It'd go against the core theme/story of the AT.

I am, however, for more Arachnos options.

/signed, some special ones would be cool but I'd understand if they kept it to Arachnos style.

/signed, I would also accept glowing Talsorian armed ones.

You could always explain the more exotic stuff as being because as a Destined One you're given rarer or more experimental tech rather than the standard issue stuff.

Apart from the fact that you're not a Destined One, after all.

I'd like to see more crab backpack options - but for a start just a backpack without the purple glistening sheen that the existing custom pack has would help - getting that backpack to colour-match non-Arachnos costume parts can be quite a challenge.

But yeah, some more options would be good.

I would like to be able to use those Arachnos pieces in my other VEAT slots. Wanting to portray the character's evolution by adding more of the VEAT costume pieces to the other costume slots is impossible at the moment. Still, as I don't see this happening, the suggestions seems good to me.

Me too, but SexyJay (the Dev in charge of costumes) has said it won't happen because of too many clipping issues.

A shame really - it's not as if tons of stuff in the normal costume creator doesn't clip horribly if you're not careful with your selections or the scale sliders.

Ah well, I did say I wasn't expecting it to happen... but thanks for utterly dashing any remaining hope I had Val.
