And when I say customizable I mean up to the point where you can even make them run on the battlefield with their dicks hanging. But since it's free to play you'll run into a lot of micro transaction only for character cosmetics and not paying to win in any way. Weapons are fully customizable without having to spend a real dime on it apart from game money which you earn by battling.
    Speaking of battles, they are fast paced, unpredictable and you will start of with an embarrassing death streak after being taken out by so many funny looking online characters with even funnier looking guns. One of the best parts of the game apart from large customization options is that you are able to steal other players guns and experience just how they felt blowing peoples heads off with their personal masterpiece.
    Check this game out because hopefully the developers will add some extra content or even a sequel if were lucky    … Expand

    Loadout provides one of the most creative shooter experiences available and does a remarkable job balancing such a wide variety of weapon builds and equipment.

On the downside, Loadout is also one of the buggiest games I've ever played, both on the client and server-side. Aside from a wide variety of crashes and connectivity problems, the game has a lot of collision detection bugs (especially with the terrain) that some players exploit (shooting up through the floor or mini-teleporting by dodging into certain walls.) These aren't beta bugs, this has been going on for the past six months since release, with each update introducing nearly as many bugs as it fixes. Then there's the team size: having four player teams can be nice at times, but to always restricting the game to 4x4 limits where the gameplay can go. The best example is the generally disliked Comm Tower map, which is far too big for 4x4. Despite these frustrations, I've still played Loadout a lot because it has so many strengths. Since it is in active development these issues may be resolved one day.… Expand

    Using Team Fortress 2's winning formula, this game certainly doesn't disappoint. The gum customization adds originality to the game, and the gamemodes are fun to play, but unlike TF2 a lot of in-game purchases are needed to rank up very quickly, taking away the effort needed to feel like you achieved something in this game.

    "alright', after a solid 4-6 hours the game starts to lose its childish charm and come of as annoying and irritating, the gun play, and customization is awesome, but everything else just seems to lack any real motivation and just comes off as unoriginal and bland.

    Don't get me wrong, for a f2p game its pretty alright, but id recommend Black Light Retribution over it any day.

Loadout probably had some potential at one point, before the overbearing cash shop came into play. As it is now I find it hard to recommend, despite being F2P because of the cash shop, broken matchmaking, terrible map voting system, and a limit of 4v4 for every game mode.

    Even though it claims to be "all about the guns, baby!", the weapon customization is limited to four types of guns that share almost all the same parts. There is little room for creativity because of the tech tree system; more complex upgrades require "previous" unlocks to be bought using the in-game currency, Blutes, which are tallied after every match. Although you can test out upgrades before you buy them, you can only test out what you can unlock on the tech tree currently. Once you unlock a part it is permanently unlocked, but only for that weapon (even though many parts are copied across weapon types). This leaves you struggling to upgrade your weapon parts (which gain exp as you use them) to increase their stats (damage, accuracy, RoF, etc.!) as your fellow players race through upgrades and power up their base damage & accuracy while using cash shop exp boosters.

    This all leads to another huge problem: Matchmaking. The "Casual" matchmaking, where the majority of the game modes are held, seems to simply slap together 8 players and split them into teams. It does this so haphazardly that the forums were flooded at launch with complaints about parties joining a lobby only to be broken and split between teams at the start of the match. Matchmaking also doesn't seem to care about player stats or skill level because before the end of match weapon levels were disabled, many times you would see players with level 8+ weapons in a game of level 1-2 weapon players. This is a huge leap in passive stats that would take a non-boosted player dozens of hours to attain and leads me to believe that there simply is no real matchmaking outside of the competitive mode.

    Loadout is simply another barebone F2P drop-in-drop-out FPS (in third person this time!) that demands you spend cash if you don't want to be left behind. Some will find this amazing and stick with it for months but many others, like me and the rest of my friends, will play for a dozen or so hours, notice all the problems with the game, and just move on.    … Expand

A daily chest that has very limited cosmetic options to unlock that is more of a slap in the face and try to coax you into spending cash, "oh neat, I got a t-shirt that says douchebag on it, right after I got basic grey jeans" So basically every free player is running around in default skin, with all the options would have been nice atleast to pick some basic colors to very them a little.

    Guns take ages to level up, then when you do you have to spend a ridiculous amount of "bluprints" to actually take it to the next level. (don't quote me, but annoying if you level all your parts at once, then don't have enough to up them, so they just won't be getting exp when you play until you do)

    the game generally is fun and a nice time waster but it feels like it always just turns into a big clusterf*** of spraying rockets and balls of electricity etc, the guns in general seem to sway towards just "aim in their general direction" build styles later on, and the more you play. As you and every other players constantly spams jump and the dodge roll. I like the whole fast free movement aspect, but at the same time it's a curse because it's basically an adapted strategy in these types of games to learn to abuse the mobility.
    also there is gimmicky power ups like shields and jump boots, sound cool but just adds another layer of annoying to the game.

    A nice idea for a game, ruined by balance issues, terrible map design, and a fetishistic obsession with cosmetic microtransactions.

    The huge draw of Loadout is the ability to make your own weapons, which is simple to do using the in game currency used for simply playing the game, and the process can be sped up by the use of real money. The issue is that there is very little point in    A nice idea for a game, ruined by balance issues, terrible map design, and a fetishistic obsession with cosmetic microtransactions.

    The huge draw of Loadout is the ability to make your own weapons, which is simple to do using the in game currency used for simply playing the game, and the process can be sped up by the use of real money. The issue is that there is very little point in making anything but something with shotgun spread or an assault rifle. Like most games nowadays, the fast paced confusion of Loadout means that you either want to take out an opponent in one shot at close quarters, or spray and pray to land as many hits as possible. Because of this, it boils down to everyone essentially using the same four guns in order to win. The same is true for the grenades, which are not customized outside of their initial ability.

    For example, the fire grenade does the damage of a regular grenade, but also sets the target on fire, which may or may not go out as the target rolls. This is never adequately explained, and many times I found myself rolling around like an idiot as I slowly burned to death, and seemingly couldn't stop it.

    Another issue is that the level design is all over the place. Many levels force plays to huddle into small areas the size of a pack of gum, obviously trying to make the grenades in the game useful. Unfortunately, this leads to frustrating deaths as someone's grenade destroys your entire team, and there is very little you can actually do to stop them. Other levels are so large that they take MINUTES to traverse, and they are capture the flag maps, leading to stalemates as the games just drag on and on.

    There are three playable characters, which are entirely cosmetic. This is fine. However, in order to customize them, huge amounts of real-word money must be used. This leads to characters either all looking the exact same (and using the same taunt, which plays extremely irritating music), or someone with a 30 dollar character looking so ugly that your eyes burn.

    On the plus side, this game is funny most of the time. Most of the jokes gave me a snicker the first time, and watching my character bounce around with a colossal hole in his chest, with his heart and organs jiggling around inside of his torso gave me a dark chuckle. Unfortunately, watching a fat woman twerk is only funny the first time, and very quickly grates on your nerves from the constant chaos and unavoidable deaths.

    The graphics, as a whole, are fun and appealing, even if they seem like something concocted from a Team Fortress 2 fever dream. The music is appealing, the game is pretty, and it is even fun for short sprints. However, the horrendous balance, appalling level design which seems to be trying to invoke the chaotic energy of 90s FPSs (including all of the worst parts), and repetitive fart-humor began to ware on my nerves very quickly. If these things get patched out, the game might hover around a 7 or so. Until then, I have to give Loadout a 4.    … Expand

    wardrobe combinations, taunts, extra loadout slots and weapon slots cost coins which you can get with Real money (SpaceBux Yellow) they can cost quite a lot (19$ you can get a good wardrobe set for one character), extra loadout slots and weapon slots being the most 19-40$ may not need them in the long run, but weapon upgrades are bought with in game currency (Blutes Blue) are acquired as you play.
