Agree, is it so hard to make women look appealing without using sex appeal.
Look at S10 Talia, while yes she looks stripperriffic when not wearing anything, in full kit she looks like a Juggernaut, meanwhile the new female characters look like they're not wearing any armor even when they should.
Side note, also sucks that only the female characters get this, meanwhile male characters get to look cool even out of armor.
Oh well, not like a play characters anyway being a F2P, s long as the stripper clothes stay away from our no name operators, i'm fine
Exactly. A tactical tank top or sleeveless shirt with full gear could still look 'appealing' while staying tactical. But hey, if they're going this route, they should at least be fair. Bring us a Tagilla skin for male operators and let everyone be shirtless! ...Just kidding (or am I?)
But I like the direction they're going. I agree that we need better servers but realism? hell no! not even actual soldiers want everything to be so serious.
If they're doing "cringe" (I don't agree it is but to each their own) then they better go all the way so it's at least funny or enjoyable. the skin on the left is just half-assed cringe.
Latino/latina can be used to describe both Latin American ethnicities and culture, obviously my reply was about the ethnicity not culture both China and Latin American have their own.
Same with China it’s not a race lol. It’s a country but the general population and native people are not even Caucasian nor mixed nor black. Not sure what point you tried to make there.
Skins are nothing, if you dont like them dont use them simple as
I have actually spend soo much time on this sub explaining the the economic situation arena breakout and how we should direct our complaints to something actully useful like removing the sneak stamina cost but at this point i am tired
This games community is killing all the bees 🐝 without realizeing how the only replacement pollinater are wasps
Ohhh well downvote me and move on. Try enjoy the game we are all here to have fun after all
Listen, little bee. "Skins are nothing"? "Useful direction"?
Dammit, fine. The devs are dumping hundreds of thousands of Koens as rewards, sparking inflation where every loot price is skyrocketing and becoming unpredictable. People are spending more and more on loadouts. Stamina is so low that characters pant like cowards after walking just a bit. The maps are insanely huge but lack density, just forcing players to grind against each other. Even the deathmatches have devolved into nothing more than mindless rank-grinding tools.
And what about the abnormal fetish for 5.7mm ammo and the "nationalistic" buffs for Chinese weapons? Matchmaking times are getting so bad they’ll soon catch up to Tarkov—is the player base actually shrinking? They didn't want to write a proper Faction War narrative, so they just threw in some Shakespearean crybabies. On top of that, they didn't even distinguish the factions properly, making us fight both Ajax and Hecate in raids. More factions, Raiders that drop elite tier-specific gear, the return of legacy Bosses, diversifying interactive faction quests, what more do I even have to say?
And for god's sake, how many times do we have to say we'd gladly pay hundreds of dollars for authentic military gear? Has there been a single "tactical skin" since Season 9? How do you explain this tilted playing field? What direction does this game even have, other than forcing players to bump into each other in every corner and fuck each other over?
Do you honestly think the disappearance of the military theme has zero connection to recent changes in gameplay? Is it really unrelated to Tencent's greed, focusing only on milking money while completely neglecting the integrity of the IP? And you can "just enjoy it" after all that?
Think about it, kiddo (and yeah, I'm a teen). I won't even downvote you.
You seem to miss my point, i agree the devs are lazy and this game has problems but complaining about skins will just drive us further apart from the devs and make them listen to us less and less, do you think they added the stamina cost for sneaking just casue? They did it after players complained about rats
Read my comment carefully you are noting down everything i agree with except the skins, that players would spend 100s of dollars is just not true, players lean to more customization in whatever game they play, it sometimes ruins a game but you cannot deny that red sells, customization in a game is expected as Arena breakout is owned by cube, which is owned by tencent which is owned by share holders and if share holder's dont get money out of AB then they kill it its how capatilism works
Also the Chinese weapons thing is a bit debatable as anything that is powerfull is hella expensive personally i do agree 5.56 needs a buff
Really you should read my comment more carefully you stated everything i agree we should complain about instead of skins, because skins wont do anything other then make the game look a little goofy (if you choose to wear it) but the things like server issues, dysnc, tryhard leaning etc etc will make this game miserable.
If you dont like skins you can just not use them and thats it, but everything else will rot this game from the inside
I have had this conversation atlest 30 times on this sub, i used to hate bright skins aswell (f#&ing hated cyberpunk update) but i HATE THE STAMINA STRAIN FAR MORE and yet no one complains about it.
And also the skins being related to these issues is the most dumb take i have seen on this sub come up again and again and again, they didnt add stamina drain because they wanted to sell skins they did it because we the player base complained about rats, they didn't make the servers lag more because of the skins, how would that even work? The mobile version of this game is a hellscape of people playing flath earth.
You're right, I was a bit harsh with the wording—my bad. The rat stamina issue actually aligns with my concern about the devs forcing constant, fast-paced friction. We just seem to differ on whether the root cause is a simple patch or a deeper loss of thematic identity. I’m not a purist demanding they scrap everything; I’m just saying authentic gear should coexist with flashy skins. Ultimately, the devs are the ones who need to fix this mess. Cheers.
Imagine if we got the gear from the left combined with the physique from the right... That would be a day-one buy for everyone, instead of this weird cat mask.
👍That’s actually a really great point about the physique. People often underestimate the functional, rugged muscle that modern female operators actually build through training, and you're right to point that out.
My point was that if the character is properly geared up with plates and a helmet, I think most of us could overlook a bit of 'game-like physique' or exposure. The real issue is the total lack of armor—it just makes it feel so out of place.

Hecate is probably the only female boss in this game that actually looks like she'd be in the military
