Unpopular ZP crate guns for coupons

sandwichROAR

FN Minimi, Galil ARM, RPK Gold, M37 Stakeout... When was the last time you've seen these used? As of now, awesome guns like these are rarely seen in game because people would rather buy other, more popular ZP crates. So why not make these available for coupons? Many high-coupons amounts have unused/duplicate guns, which could easily be replaced. It would actually more profitable to Z8 anyways because people with all of the current coupon weapons would be more inclined to buy crates again, and those relatively unpurchased crates would likely be bought more because people finally would have more opportunities to try the guns before risking ZP to win them.

(Also, CFNA already has permission to distribute permanent versions of those guns, so that should avoid a lot of problems. )

Just because some crate weapons are unpopular means that you should put them as a coupon weapon.

Last I heard, Galil ARM kills in two shots. I think I'd rather not have the daily QQ thread with the replacement of the ARM instead of the M12s.

i own the m37 and trust me if it were coupons all of you ppl would get wrecked because if u learn how to use it you could easly pop some sick easy kills in tdm... lol its beast also rpk gold should be coupons cause well most of em have been coupons or temp crates not perm

The Galil isn't nearly that powerful... I've tried it a couple times and it really wasn't even very good compared to GP AR's. Plus, it even has regular 30/90 ammo. If it was a GP shop gun, I'd guess that you'd probably see it about as much as the AUG. Lot's of guns are just unpopular because very few people are going to buy ZP crates for an underused gun with average stats when they could try for something like a scoped M4 or AK, a 1hk sniper with a cool skin and extra ammo, or limited edition crates which we're now getting almost every patch. Besides, people want new coupon guns, and these are already in game as permanent items. So why not?

this will be unfair to people who actually spent zp to get these crate weapons.
though a good idea, i doubt the 60 coupons being temp and 80 being custom will have these guns in coupons any time soon.

A ZP weapon doesn't necessarily mean that it has to have extended magazines.. Although it is a great perk to have. If you roll some of the GP crates you get an Aug A1 / SG552 with extended ammo.

I'd love to see new guns as well, but the reality seeing that the devs love money, I'm guessing they would put it in temporarily much like the Remington / RX4.

You might also have to factor in the amount of crates each person bought for each of those crates and give them reparations (If the GMs want to.)

Well, they've put coupon guns into crates before (AK-Knife), so putting crate guns up for coupons can't really be seen as unreasonable. But personally, I don't think that those temporary items will stay very long: I mean, when an axe or permanent rifle was 50 coupons a few months ago, not many people are going to pay 60 for 3 months worth.

It's not actually a real signature, just underscores and such after the post.

make a good point with ak/kriss, but those guns were the original 3 zp crates (m4 custom, kriss, ak knife)
this new meta stuff is bm bound, as are all perm melees at this point (maybe excluding axe in the near future)

Actually, it was the AK-Scope that was in crates with the Kriss and M4-C, the Knife was originally only available for coupons. Then one patch both the AK Knife and Camo were randomly added to crates. But I see you're point in how people might get angry at that... I know I was pretty upset when the AK-Knife crate was put in. Maybe Z8 could compensate original owners of the crate guns if they become available for coupons with ZP or something... I mean, they wouldn't have to give it to that many people.

you never see the rpk-Gold or M249? i guess you dont play MM mutch.

Come play with me and my FN M249.

Anyways this wouldn't go over well, people were already upset enough when Z8 had released the the new kriss liquid zp crate gun and other people had won the kriss super-v from crates previously and they complained.

So I'd think people who had previously won these "unpopular" zp crate guns would be more than upset that the guns they had won were now technically free.

No to galil arm and m37 stakeout.I have spend so much zp on the galil arm already,most likely more than anyone else in this game.If they make it coupon only and everyone gets it I would be damn mad,even if I can get it myself easier then.The same with the m37,my friend spend ~200$ on it by now,not that much but still a lot.He would be as mad as me if everyone would run around with the m37.Yes to any other gun.

I got the original Kriss Super V and I'm not complaining about the weapon being lesser than the Kriss Super V LM.

From a collectors standpoint, I guess I'd like to get my hands on all of them.

i won the galil in after buying 3 crates and i got it on my third crate. it would be unfair to the people like me who spent ZP (most people aren't as lucky as me.)

i decided to win the old kriss whilst the new one was out, i think i'm the only one who has won it since then, haven't seen anyone with the old one since.

i sort of had a love for it due to it being on my old lt. col in which got hacked ;]

Even the new one is rare

M12s is better/as good,so no point in spending zp on kriss. It's a gp shop gun in any other version.
