You can customise your Sniper with Patterns and Decals - these are not the same as Gear, and will grant very different benefits. The key difference is that they are temporary, and must be bought again once they have expired.
Patterns and Decals are items that can be placed on your Sniper’s Gear in order to grant a variety of benefits. These can be purchased from Daily Deals.
Patterns
Patterns are customizations that not only change the appearance of your Sniper but they also have added effects such as increasing damage and increasing the fire rate of your weapon! This can be seen on the below Pattern.
- Damage Increase
This Pattern will cause your bullets to inflict more damage.
- Fire Rate Increase
This will reduce your weapon's delay between shots.
Decals:
Decals are customizations that add a visual patch to your Sniper. These increase your defense points or decrease your respawn time, depending on the Decal equipped. This can be seen on the below Decal.
- Gear Rating Increase
This Decal boosts your Gear Rating, and with it your defence.
- Decrease Respawn Time
If you die, this Decal will get you back in the fight sooner.
Each option will improve your base stats by a small amount - so choose the one that suits your style best.
How do I unlock Customisation?
Customisation will be available to you as soon as you have unlocked PvP.
Some Patterns and Decals are locked until you have achieved a particular PvP rank - so only the best Snipers have earned access to everything.
How many Patterns and Decals can I equip at the same time?
One Pattern and one Decal can be equipped together, but not more than one.
If you buy another while one is already equipped, the current one will be overwritten and the new one equipped.
How do I know if my opponents have Patterns and Decals
You can see this on the scoreboards!
Check the image below:
The two small boxes to the right of the score display the equipped Customisation. The first one is the Pattern and the second is the Decal.
If your opponent's slots are empty, they have not equipped any Patterns or Decals.
How do you equip a Pattern and/or Decal?
When you purchase a pattern or a decal, it won't be automatically active on your Sniper anymore, as it was previously.
Instead, the pattern or decal will be added to your inventory, which is represented by a small counter on the top right of each pattern and decal in your Gear Store.
It’s important to remember that you will need to actively equip the pattern to activate it, as it won’t automatically do this! Once you have selected at least one pattern or decal for your Sniper, an "Equip" button will be shown to you on the left of the "Buy it Now" button. You will then receive a confirmation pop up message so you know for sure that it’s active on your Gear! Once placed on your Sniper, the pattern/decal will then be removed from your inventory, and the one that was previously active will disappear.
Where can I get Patterns and/or Decals?
You can get Patterns and Decals from your Daily Deals!
