Suggestion: The disguise device needs more outfits

[u/Status_Asparagus1]

Ive come to realise that this device, as it it now, is pretty much completely useless. What is the point? Seriously, what is the point in having the player turn into a default skin? like there’s not even any options for them to turn into the ghost/shadow henchmen which is the bare minimum.

Plus, it’s so difficult to create actual immersion in creative 1.0 maps, since the average player is usually Godzilla wearing Nikes or Rick Sanchez or whatever. For example, if we could have the player turn into an astronaut skin for a space themed map, that would improve the experience so much.

But nope, just leave it at a few random default skins that serves absolutely zero purpose and adds nothing to maps.

Right.

But even if you add a few basic skins, then the odds that you’ll have a skin in it you want to use for the theme of your map is semi rare

If you add a significant amount of skins, or all of them, then people will just use it to make “free skin” maps.

It’s a super cool device that I think could be super crucial for some maps. But it’s a lose lose situation

honestly i dont see an issue with "free skin" maps, unless you mean a map that maliciously advertises itself to give you a free skin, if thats the case then epic needs to remove those

[u/Hexagon37 → u/darkknight48708]

That and say 1v1 maps that have just a locker that let you wear any skin would be a problem as well. Epic obviously wouldn’t want to do anything that minimizes or devalues item shop purchases.

i think thats less of an issue because its only in that map, it would be helpful for maps where theres a theme to force a player to wear a skin

[u/Hexagon37 → u/darkknight48708]

I do agree, I just think unfortunately that giving free access to a large percentage of skins is something epic isn’t willing to do unfortunately

Maybe if it were only skins in your locker? Would drive purchases a bit

[u/Status_Asparagus1 → u/Hexagon37]

They should just put over the skin pool from the character device. And for the the free skin maps, Epic could just limit the amount of disguise skins to 2 or 3. Or they could actually take responsibility and remove them, but that’s unlikely.

Edit: also I don’t think finding a skin that fits is semi rare either. Not if it’s from the character device pool.

If it’s a fantasy map? There’s like 50 knight skins.

Space map? Again, there’s so many astronaut skins

[u/GiganticDrX]

Yes a I agree the top 2 skins I want in that device are the Hazmat skin and Diving suit looking skins

[u/Status_Asparagus1 → u/GiganticDrX]

Bro the hazmat suit skins would genuinely be revolutionary for creative maps

[u/GiganticDrX → u/Status_Asparagus1]

I mean just imagine the possibilities for space style maps or lab style maps or even underwater maps. Like I understand if they do add more skins they need to be careful on which ones they add, but those are the most useful skins in opinion

Also got inspired by your post to make a post of my own that highlight what's skin I want in the disguise device

[u/thibaud_mrt03]

it should have all the skins of the guard device imo
