Ork looting would be pretty cool if you think about it. Think about Lootas going onto a battlefield after a fight and repairing and looting predator tanks or grav tanks. It could introduce more vehicle customization and each Ork tank or vehicle would look unique. What do all you guys think?
I'm not sure how looting would work from a game mechanics standpoint since the weapons may be balanced for a particular faction unless maybe the stats were reduced when it becomes Orky. I think it's more likely that we will have unlockable skins/models with the same stats as a standard Ork weapons but with different looks like a rusty SM bolter with extra bits strapped on to make it look Orky.
i think it will be cool if you could loot of dead bodys instead of like getting gold for bits of scrap to add on you or vechile i think it might work??
I'd personally like to see Orks have the ability to take a second to loot ammo from any enemy weapon to replenish their own. Taking the entire weapon just feels like too much from a balance perspective on top of requiring new animations for an Ork with something like a heavy bolter. With vehicles, I think Orks should be able to patch up a destroyed enemy vehicle and drive it for around a minute before it's done for good. One of the main restrictions for vehicles will probably be their requisition cost. If Orks were able to make even crappy vehicles from enemy wrecks with no cost associated, I'm afraid it would be completely overwhelming after just one or two victories.
This is what I want from looting being able to loot enemy weapons for extra ammo and take over vehicles. For the ammo looting it would just be a second or 2 to just take their ammunition. For vehicle looting it would make reduced version which is weaker but orkier. The actually performing of the orkifying ( new word right there copyright laws are applied ) would take maybe 25-30 seconds and would make a reduced vehicle I think that is balanced. The performance of looting would leave whoever is performing it ( which should only be Mek boyz ) exposed and indangered. My ideas.
I think there should be a limit to how much looting you can do, and some restriction for weight I guess as well (which means, for example, you can't lug around a cyclone missile launcher if you're just a slugga boy). You then can't use it until you get it Orkified by taking it to someone like an NPC (or even a Mekboy player), who can hammer it a bit and you get something new. Not exactly what you looted in the first place, but not completely different either. Looting ammo would be pretty cool too imo.
