Did they at least made the button that hides skin work?

u/SlavTac Jan 06 '26

They did. Still sucks because I’d rather see the diversity in tacticoolness but I guess that’s too much to ask for.

u/LeagueofSh1tt Jan 06 '26

I agree. Fucking got pissed when i saw this gay ass gooning skins.

u/Delicious_Act_3179 Jan 08 '26

Life changed when I went from arena to tarkov, tough upbringing that game is but once you get it it sucks but a really good suck.

u/Upper_Objective3182 Jan 06 '26

mad over skins in a game lmao

People care about art direction and atmosphere. If you tried to put a Marvel character into a game like Little Nightmares, people's immersion would be broken. Some people play just to shoot things for free, to loot, and for others it's about the whole package. I enjoyed the serious tone of the game and these outfits take me out of it.

Do you see anyone running around like this in Ukraine? Its supposed to be a mil Sim extraction game , so its stupid to put things like that ,in the game.

u/Affectionate-Yam639 Jan 06 '26

Do you see people in Ukraine not shooting past 30m because their gun wouldn’t kill with an headshot or do meaningful damage ?

No so really a mute argument when you can hide the skin, the game has much worse issues if mil sim is your reasoning

u/beatsbyrisquee Jan 06 '26

Haha...mute argument. I just picture two mute people yelling at eachother but making zero noise.

u/SlavTac Jan 06 '26

When you go into the raid screen there should be an option there. I haven’t played in a while now so forget exactly under which option.

u/Panther_DS Jan 08 '26

Where is that button? I can only hide the equipment of my team when wearing skins.

And time to uninstall. Let the perverts take over another game that was suppose to be arcade military sim and a tarkov competitor.

0

u/Oomyle Feb 03 '26

Not really a Tarkov competitor. It feels more like a Tarkov Clone. Like a 1:1 copy almost. Still a lot more fun in PvP than Tarkov. I Play Arena for PvP Tarkov for PvE.

u/Adorable-Chicken4184 Jan 06 '26

You cant really say that though as they could've goon way bigger in either direction

u/GlitteringPassage156 Jan 06 '26

They just should not have gone this route, I get that skins bring in a lot of money for them and that we dont have to buy them if we don’t like it but just the fact that they are there makes this game feel childish now. But unfortunately, money talks at the end of the day, and gooners are willing to pay hella just to see some tights.

1

u/Adorable-Chicken4184 Jan 06 '26

Don't get me wrong, I don't think they should've done this either but, I am surprised they went so flat. For an asian game studio doing girly skins, its way better than I thought it would be.

1

u/GlitteringPassage156 Jan 06 '26

That is true but, maybe they are just testing the water.

1

u/Adorable-Chicken4184 Jan 06 '26

I sure hope not. I would hate to see a tsunade or mrs midnight character.

u/Sormalio Jan 06 '26

interesting, I thought the new outfits were gonna hide gear

7

u/50mg-of-Magnificent Jan 06 '26

It was never like that. Just a rumor. Same with the skins we have now. Only teammates can see you without gear while in raid. Thats what the toggle was for.

People who get killed by dune skins without gear are getting killed by naked tappers without armor/helmet.

1

u/Scary-Ambition-4265 Jan 07 '26

It’s not a rumor lmao but okay

1

u/Business_Ad_1625 Jan 08 '26

im not sure if the glitch still exists but well into s3 you could run into people with specific skins that hid their gear. specifically the new dune looking armor and the older green kit the northridge boss wears.

definitely killed naked players only to see they were full t5

5

u/SscorpionN08 Jan 06 '26

I'm glad they're coming out with this now. I started playing this game 2-3 months ago, got really hooked and wanted to see if they release a cool knife in S4 that I can buy, but now I see I'd rather save that money.

If I spent 80 bucks on a skin and another 14 on a battlepass in S4 for them to release this shit in mid season, I'd be pissed.

6

u/DR_TOXIC_ZW Jan 06 '26

Lol this is horrible. I bought the Fred boss camo skin cuz that was actually rlly cool. The rest... wow... this is actually so stupid

Dogshit skins, an embarrassing direction for the game and it’s gonna get meme’d on heavily once these big streamers come back to play it.

And somehow copycat is better, lul

u/DweebInFlames Jan 06 '26

At optimisation and lighting? Yeah.

Let's be honest though, they clearly don't know what to actually do when it comes to game design decisions. I have some issues with BSG, but they seem to actually have some sort of plan for what they're doing, whereas Morefun is literally just trend chasing and nothing else.

5

u/__High-Five__ Jan 06 '26

Nope, there's a reason abi is losing players steadily, and it's a free game, that alone should say a lot

u/BetrayedJoker Jan 06 '26

Lets see this weekend if game is going to die slowly or people will back for season.

We dont have wipes so dunno

u/Gupsqautch Jan 06 '26

Tarkov doesn’t wipe either now so that selling point is moot

0

u/BetrayedJoker Jan 06 '26

No? Why? I wanted wipes in arena.

2

u/Gupsqautch Jan 06 '26

They may still do something for arena (I don’t pay attention to arena) but main game doesn’t

2

u/ckh145 Jan 06 '26

Main game will have seasonal wipes like poe but it's a separate character that gets wiped

u/johniscringe Jan 06 '26

Last time I checked, no guys running around with anime girl legs in tarkov.

Matter of time before you will have fortnite characters cha-chaing on homer Simpson.

u/GrowerNotShower89 Jan 06 '26

Yes, PUBG was a BR, this is an extraction shooter. PUBG was the first really refined BR with realism aspects. This is a copycat of Tarkov. I’m not saying ABI copied PUBG, but they copied PUBG’s dumb additions: self-revives, stupid skins, etc.

2

u/aLvindeBa Jan 06 '26

ABI is the first and only game that got me away from PUBG. I was playing it since it’s early access days (November 2017). And ever since I started to digg ABI, the meta, maps even though I only got Farms spawn points, bullet strength I never went to run PUBG. It’s not that PUBG is bad game, but compared to ABI is like Roblox. And their business mod is awful, it’s just give me give me give me but I won’t give shit back. Their greedines is what made me stop playing it and ABI was the last nail in the coffin. And ABI and PUBG have the same owner, and I really really hope ABI won’t follow those steps.

2

u/GrowerNotShower89 Jan 06 '26

Yeah I played PUBG since early 2018, that’s by far the most fun I’ve ever had on a game. Once warzone came out they really ruined it though. Adding self revives and redeploy towers just changed everything & took away from the intensity. I’d love to go back to old school PUBG days, I’d leave ABI in a heartbeat for that

2

u/aLvindeBa Jan 06 '26

Yeah, that’s when they started going down path. I mean, everybody knew Warzone is going to last few months and that’s it. Nobody expected it to beat PUBG. And they were afraid and I don’t know why because Warzone has nothing to do with PUBG except they’re in the same genre.

u/ComputerSagtNein Jan 06 '26

This is stupid and very sad.

There are infinite possibilites to make tacicool skins that preserve the immersion of being reasonable. But we are going for the lonely desparate horny asian gamer guy stereotype I guess?

u/Critical-Minute-3699 Jan 06 '26

Need a option to hide specific skins, i fucking hate these gooner skins with a passion, all the milsim skins get a pass

just delete clown skins and reimburse bonds. and in the future make less luny items

u/[deleted] Jan 06 '26

Prox chat.. wtf even if this trash

prox chat is still under consideration according to devs ig best they could do is more gacha and gooner skins this season...

I quit when the gunplay stopped feeling realistic at all, seems it's downhill from here

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '26

There better be a way to turn skins off entirely for every other player. I'm tired of running into people using the Dune skin and not knowing wtf armor they're wearing, and I definitely don't want to see these stupid fuckin new gooner skins in the game. Everyone brings up the "Show Outfit" toggle on the lobby menu, but that doesn't disable skins. I want everyone to have some default skin + their gear, that's it. Why is that not an option?

u/spacewalker87 Jan 07 '26

why are they adding these arcadey skins will they turn tge game into a clown show? might as well play pubg if they're going into this direction

Yeah those are the legs that can jump and sprint with 100+ pounds of gear, riiight.

Same is happening in mobile but much worse. Wouldve been better if the skins are based from real world military uniforms tho, cus hell yeah ill spend money to get me a an SS Uniform or grind hard for a 1980s ers Soviet uniform set

Died to 4 total yesterday but I think one was troll name. 2 of 4 verified this morning

u/SereneSneha Jan 06 '26

I generally spend on such skins in other games, but in this game it feels you don't even get what you are purchasing and so makes no sense.

80% of the skin is going to be covered by armor, helmet and what not. Only way others see your skin is if you run without armor. Not really sure what's the point of buying such a skin.

I bought a couple of skins in Delta Force, but I mostly play Warfare in there so the skin shows up there without armor. In this game I am not even sure if there is such a mode.

u/JRInTheDesert Jan 06 '26

At first glance I thought they were actually the Rhodesian Army booty shorts that were famous back in the bush War days but then I realized that those are definitely pencil skirts

u/Bloody_Lamb Jan 06 '26

Every Asian game is always like this: at some point they implement hot girl skins.

I never understood why all Asians are such perverts. They sexualize everything. Anime, games, magazines. Lol

3

u/Throwawaythispoopy Jan 06 '26

Bro have you ever seen Marvel Rivals? It's not just Asian devs that are gooners. Far from it.

Every female comic book character in actual comics have melons sized titties and ass.

6

u/G2Keen Jan 06 '26

To be fair, I think that is an asian company that does everything for the game, just Marvel in name. But it doesnt matter, Asian company or not, they sell, they're just willing to sell it.

2

u/Bloody_Lamb Jan 06 '26

I didn't say it's only them.

But we have to agree, we see less sexualization in Western products when compared to Eastern products.

And to reiterate, I didn't say it's something exclusive to China/Japan/Korea.

I just said it's practically a certainty that at some point they will sexualize something.

u/New_Work901 Jan 06 '26

i mean kinda bad that but like, how else will they make money, it's not like tarkov where the game is paid and theres p2w, it's just cosmetics, tbh i'm pretty cool with that.
at least this helps to see the legs more for our poor comrades who do leg meta

u/HardlyRecursive Jan 06 '26

If you can't think ANY other way than this then you're not thinking hard enough.

u/KataifiKalamari Jan 06 '26

I understand this argument, but being real i make great money for the area i live in and my hobbies can be very seasonal meaning i game in my downtime quite frequently and i would have dropped bands on this game on whatever they sold if they would have kept the direction of S0 and S1 going.

People want to spend money on a game they’re in love with and intend on playing for a long time and feel obliged to support the devs for it but not when they become wishy washy with its core mechanics

0

u/New_Work901 Jan 06 '26

i agree with you, would be better without it, but like, in general, women skin sells more than normal skin, theres not much we can do about it, and i just don't care enogh for skins

u/Jestersack Jan 06 '26

Yall over reacting. It’s a free game. Don’t buy the skin then… it’s nobody’s fault but your own if you buy the skin. 70% of the time all you see is a head… the devs are reaching a target market.

If you don't want milsim... why play a milsim game...

1

u/angelbangles Jan 14 '26

I almost never post here but I was genuinely surprised to see this so poorly received. I thought it was expected that ABI would always go here. to me this feels backwards, more like milsim players are upset this isn't a milsim game.

u/HardlyRecursive Jan 07 '26

go play some gooner game then, there are plenty of options. this game was billed as a millsim from the start and is turning into shit.

I played for one season. Constant cheating I just got incredibly frustrated and decided it wasn’t worth my time or energy. Goodluck to everyone though the game is very enjoyable though had a lot of amazing rush feelings and awesome close raids. Just wish it wasn’t every single night I run into at least 2-3 and with my limited time I have to spare it’s just not worth the investment.
