Active Duty slots and the wipe
We know that insured slots, mission progress, contraband stash, key stash, and mission item stash are all being wiped.
Are we expecting active duty slots (e.g. gear and/or exfil streaks) to be wiped as well?
All they really said was that it would be a wipe like season 2, but I can’t recall if gear and/or exfil streaks (if they were even working back then) got wiped for season 2.

I mean what does it matter? You'll earn back gear in no time..

If you have 8 active duty slots, that’s a lot of gear to replace, and a lot of exfils to get the streaks back up.

Gear is to be used. I've never truly understood the fully geared screenshots posted here. It's fun to fill them up sure, but that's not an end goal or something is it?

Can’t use it if you don’t have it (or it’s taken away) though 😔

Which is why you shouldn't hoard it ;)

WAT im saying is that if you hoard things they'll be lost upon a wipe. But what I'm reaaaallt saying is this " what good is gear if you don't put it to use" OFC people should do exactly what they want!

The idea is to use it lol you can't use what you don't have. Qualm here is it being taken away for no reason

I don’t understand what you’re saying. There isn’t a strict gear quota for the entire DMZ community: one person having a 3-plate vest doesn’t mean somebody else has to go without.

I don't think it should take anyone more than one Saturday to fill up eight operators. ashika has made gearing up soooooooo easy.
Kill 10 bots and you'll have a stronghold key card, spend 10 minutes in stronghold City and your whole squad is kitted.
Or the underwater tunnel.
Or any of the four or five bosses on Al mazzy.

Then it’s at least 80 matches to get your exfil streaks back as well (assuming you’d maxed them out already).

Let's be honest with ourselves, the vast majority of The player base is not stressing about getting all 8 characters to Damascus dog tags. That's just a fallacy.
And most people that do get Damascus dog tags stop using that operator.

I suspect most players have put in the effort to gear up a number of slots and get decent exfil streaks going.
Once you’ve acquired good gear and decent exfil streak perks on a number of different operators (the latter of which takes a really long time to put together), having them suddenly and arbitrarily taken away is really annoying.

I know, just kind of sad is all.

Why? Getting the gear is part of the fun no?
Batousai4K 3 points · Jun 2023
Sure, but losing the gear without using it isn't fun. I mean, I get why wipes are needed. I just don't enjoy it when it happens.

What gear do you have that you don’t or haven’t used?
Batousai4K 1 points · Jun 2023
I'm mainly talking about the keys and mission items. The guns I could care less about since you can add attachments to any gun now in game.

There's about two weeks left until wipe, plenty of time to use every operator and lose the stuff couple times over.

Yeah, why even keep the gear you exfil with too? You'll earn back gear in no time..
