If you are some oddball that liked the look of the hobosacks, well no fear! There is a backpiece for you! Remember the old backpiece you had an option to get just from creating an engineer? The Universal Multi-Tool pack is here to rescue you from ever looking cool! Yes with this old backpiece that no one used, you too can impress your hipster friends with how “ironic” your unpopular backpiece is!
Create a level 1 engineer today to get your Universal Mulit-Tool pack!
tbh….
I am happy hobo sacks will be gone…
But…
What I have seen on stream was not much better
I would like to see luncher-like weapon which would change visuals depending what rarity of weapon you have in hand – ie LEGENDARY would look COOL.
It is kinda sad engi is only class where crafting legendary weapon does not feel so great…
Engineers? Even on mounts???

Player plays the game. MetaKitten plays the DPS meter on the golem.
Improves your grenade attack speed by 500%, gives five extra grenades per throw.
Gives negative stability. Every time you attack, you swerve with your bike and need to manually fix your camera situation. An advanced “drunk” effect.
Toolbelt: Chain reaction. Explode all the grenades on you in a nuclear explosion. 20.000 damage base. Downs yourself and leaves your downed state with unremovable radiation poisoning. Also makes you smell like garlic and onions.
Jokes aside, I’m a bit sad that the new grenade kit really does look this cheap and rushed. But to quote someone dear to me: “Still better than the stupid backpacks.”

I think a Grenade Bag held in the off hand would be better. Put a picture of a grenade on the side and have our grenadiers reach in and pull grenades out of it.
Or maybe a picture of an onion to commemorate the current solution.

Oh, and Gern, I was just being silly about bringing back the hobosacks.

Did you SEE that abomination of a 1500s broken pot calling itself a mortar? Did you -see- the broken phosphorous shell visual?
Did you SEE how our bombs now actually commit telekinesis? And if we don’t do that, our character goes into some kneel animation that is entirely untuned with the actual cast time.

The animation actually makes it unusable to me. The timing literally does not line up with the cast times.
Add the insult on top that the mortar looks like complete crap.
Add on top that predator grenade barrage effects do not work unless you trait the now optional grenadier.
Add on top that the Mortar’s flash shell visual was not finished. The mortar’s #1 I don’t even know what the radius is. The visual is tiny, the hit area seems to be entirely off from the animation.
Add on top that the Streamlined Kits’ mine that spawns under you explodes whenever it wants, sometimes instantly, sometimes after ten seconds, sometimes after five, sometimes never.
Add on top of that that cast times completely broke the medkit’s viability – no more five seconds of fury, that much is sure.

I don’t care how bad any of the new kits look, they don’t look even half as bad as the old hobosack. I am happy. Thanks A net! It took you way too long to implement this (3 flipping years) but late is better than never! Thank you.
Seriously though. I was initially glad they were gone, but they somehow managed to
A) Gut the winged backpiece by making it behave like floppy foam
B) Completely break all bomb kit animations to the point of it being unusable and actually GETTING YOU STUCK MID MOTIONS REGULARLY. It’s actually unplayable. And those broken animations sure as hell were not in the guild halls trailer.
C) Make the Mortar literally look like someone spent less than two minutes to make a rough placeholder model sketch with low quality texture and low poly model. The mortar kit clearly wasn’t finished. #1 skill has a 120 explosion raius but that’s not what the skill radius actually is. The Flash Shell doesn’t even work. The sounds are completely HORRID. And of course “Bobby’s first attempt at 3D modeling” is our new mortar kit.

Current bombs aren’t. They are literally broken.
Current Mortar has unfinished visuals. It looks worse than a level 1 rifle. The #1 has a completely wrong and off size. The blind shell visual does not even slightly work.
Grenade kit visuals’ dingla dangles actually make me uncomfortable.
That’s a -lot- worse than a bit of the back of my head poking through a piece of wood on grenade kit and temporarily not seeing my backpiece. Because it’s not -functional-. It’s -unfinished-. This should not be what we waited nearly three years for.
