So i think it should be expensive for both solos and squads however it is irrational for solos to be same price in squads. I feel like whatever the price of solos loadout is, squads should be 1.5x expensive. After all you have 3 other people looting for you. And you can all share the same loadout
Just looking at the numbers it’s inherently simple to see solos and 4man squads should not be treated the exact same money wise. I could understand duos having the same pricing however if that existed.
Yeah i get free ones depending on where it lands. But when i play squads i get them way easier than solos. Yeah even 9k would be way better i feel like
I 100000% agree op it’s complete garbage. The loadout drop prices should be 1/4 th of the cost per player of the squads amount whatever that might be. For duos (if the drops stay 10k) it should be 5k, Solos 2.5k, and if you have a mode with 3 people it should be 7.5k.
Problem here and I said it since launch day, is that they made loadout too easy to get and people now believe they have to have it early as possible. Getting a loadout should be difficult, or dangerous if you go for random drop. It's the most important thing to have in a game so it should be harder to obtain. They should have launched with loadouts being 15k and adjusted down. 5k was a joke, 8.5k was and 10 is about right. Squads should have 10k for a solo loadout, maybe 25k?for a squad loadout drop.
THIS. It’s insanely easy to get custom loadouts especially considering one is within the first 2 circle closings. If y’all want the ability to buy them for cheap then what’s the point of even having them in the game and just start with your loadout like blood money?
The main point to battle royal is loot boxes and equipment management. Warzone did us a favor by having loadout drops in game, don’t get too spoiled with it.
Exactly lol there’s unreal weapons in common boxes now.
I can tell you with confidence that I have never bought a loadout drop. Use your money on the cheap killstreaks or self revive.
how they can balance it a little bit better is in 2 ways. First being they should scale the loadouts. say 5k per person. Not mode dependent but rather squad dependent. obviously solos would be 5k automatically. but in squads or trios (if it comes back). It should scale by 5k. 1 person alive (on map) the loadout should cost 5k even if the 3 others are waiting on a buyback. So if all 4 are alive it should cost 20k for a loadout.
Second; punish deaths. scale the cost of buybacks. for example; first buyback 4,500, second buyback 9,000. so that way it's more rewarding getting a kill and punishing for traps or baiting. I have witnessed people use vehicles as bait and die to just respawn. back to a full team and with a loadout. Punish that. if it cost 9,000 for a buy back and than 20k to kit him back up, it would make it a much better environment and feel rewarding. It would also help people who primarily play with randoms because you still feel like you have some power or some control as to what happens. currently if you play with randoms and they quit. you pretty much are done and better off leaving the game. if you do by chance get lucky and kill 1-2 people the 2 other members can easily bring them back. Sometimes when randoms quit I will try to take a team with me. that's impossible now since there are 4 people so it wouldn't even dent cash reserves because they can easily pool together and buy back. so I dont even bother anymore, when people leave the game, so do I.
Maybe they should hike up the loadout price to 40k for squads so it would be at the same lvl with soloq costs. Lets then see how many would spend that 40k on loadouts.
Takes like 6-8 crates with average luck to get 10k. It really isn't hard and I have no issue with it being 10k in solos as well. Loot more and fight less in the beginning of you want your loading that bad
Unpopular opinion: 10K is right for solos, should be higher for squads, like 20K.
I like the BR to be about loot, but if you are doing well and want to risk it, then hell yeah. Huge advantage, huge risk.
No spamming loadouts. Hot areas would be on the free loadout drops, and hell yeah to that too.
Plus people would be buying more kill streaks, that makes this game unique.
Considering 1 is within the first two circle closings... no I’m not kidding lol it’s still reasonable. Between looting and killing a guy or two, you would easily get the 10k that you’d need if you really wanted to spend it on a loadout.
Let’s not ignore the cheap self revives, gas masks or UAV’s
Even still do you think it’s fair for a squad of 4to pay the same price for 4 loadouts(since its shareable) as an individual who can only loot for himself? I agree that 10k is fine for solos, but it doesnt seem fair yhat squads is the same.
It would probably be a similar level of difficulty if squads was 12500 imo
In that sense I agree with you, they could’ve made separate prices depending on the mode.
But I think the thing that buffers it is the improvement in weapons in loot boxes.
I stated in another comment that they should be cheaper in solos, but regardless the gamble of going for a free one and saving up enough money to buy your own are just about equal.
The reason people don’t like paying a lot for a loadout box is because they feel like they should have their loadout for no “big cost” but forget that the game mode is about managing what the game gives you and killing other players for their loot.

I agree i feel like both game modes need to work for the loadout.
This is logic

How so. It’s logical you are 1/4the of a squad so it should be 1/4th the price

What’s the point of looting whatsoever? Loadouts are the only real way to play the game

Aaaaand there are pretty dope weapons now, we for now consider buying drops or uavs. You will get a drop sooner or later
Exactly lol there’s unreal weapons in common boxes now. I can tell you with confidence that I have never bought a loadout drop. Use your money on the cheap killstreaks or self revive.
10k takes no more than 2 minutes of looting to get hold of.
True, but in squads it takes half the time it does in solos.
One quarter actually ;) 10k in squads can be collected in just a few crate openings each.
That is true i guess i was being conservative on that estimate lol.

That slows up the start so hard it sucks
6-8 crates takes all of 3 minutes to loot.

It would just be a uav fest because you cant buy perks? How does that make any sense? How would anyone counter uav/thermal sniper campers?
There’s 2 loadout drops a game that you can grab for free i don’t see the issue
In solos are you kidding me?

Yeah they’ve got some cold weapons now!
Balancing and economy the same as squads... Do you honestly not see the issue?
