WHY I HATE THE NEW BANDIT SKIN

Recommended Posts

Now dont get me wrong, I can deal with the bandit skin only having a mask, but, not being able to see your backpack is just plain annoying, cmon rocket this needs to be changed.

It's a rendering glitch, chill yourself. Most people want the skin for that specific reason

I believe thats a glitch. When you switch skins your backpack used to dissapear completely, now it just removes it from your character model. If you drop it and pick it back up again, you should see it.

I could be wrong. Even if i am wrong though, not seeing your backpack is a good thing. Backpacks are notorious for giving away your position, thats why ghuillie suits are so great. It hides your backpack.

Edit: Crap, sorry for double post.

Your backpack is visible to other players though from a certain distance. Me and a mate are bandits are from like 30m the bags are visible.

But in general the ''skin'' is shite. If you can even call it a skin... literally a tea towel on your head, looks badass.

The problem I have is everytime I turn Bandit my backpack dissapears and gets replaced by a shitty coyote patrol backpack. Annoying because I always PVP with a sniper and a enfield, I always end up losing one.

Quite ironic that since the bandit skin is re-introduced I decided to F*ck it all and go all out war with everyone I encounter (got tired of being a good boy and being KOS)

but I like the skin, with or without the backpack

What I do wonder is when I happen to find a camosuit... Will it be thesame only with a Arafat-style turban?
