Illegal Soccer Loadouts

§The one rule that matters#

Cover movement and disruption, and let the names be secondary.

The developer confirms three tool types: guns, grappling hooks and jetpacks. Two of those move you and one of those disrupts other players. That split is the whole basis of loadout thinking here, and it does not depend on any unverified roster: whatever the names turn out to be, you want one answer to where can I go and one answer to what happens when somebody else has the ball.

The pair is a frame, not a rule the game enforces. It is useful because it maps onto the two states a match puts you in, and it stays valid whether the game gives you a free choice of tools or hands them to you.

§A movement pick plus a disruption pick#

Why the pair works better than two of either.

• Two movement tools overlap. Once you can already leave a bad position, a second way to leave it adds very little.
• Two disruption tools leave you stranded. If you cannot reposition, disruption only delays the problem.
• One of each covers the two states a match puts you in: without the ball and with it.
• Community material describes carrying two items at once, and no first-party source confirms a slot count. The pairing idea survives either way.

§Loadouts by play style#

Three starting points, described by function rather than by unverified names.

• Attacking: movement plus disruption, weighted toward getting into space quickly. Aim to convert the first clean touch into a shot.
• Defending: area control plus movement. Deny the space in front of your goal, and keep an exit for when the ball breaks loose.
• Learning: the cheapest movement option plus anything with a single obvious use. A beginner should be able to explain why an attempt failed.

§A budget approach#

No price appears here, because nobody has published one.

Since no first-party source publishes prices or odds, the honest budget advice is about behaviour rather than numbers: commit to a functional role first, and only spend once you know which role you actually play. Players who collect before they understand their own style usually end up with a set of tools that do not work together.

The economy page takes the same position and explains how to prioritise spending without a price list.

A useful discipline is to name the job before you spend. If you cannot say which of the two roles a purchase fills, the purchase is probably an appearance choice in disguise, and it can wait.

§When your pairing fails#

Three symptoms and what they usually mean.

• You keep getting tackled in the same part of the pitch: your movement tool is being used too late, not badly chosen.
• You disrupt but never score: you are winning possession in positions you cannot convert from.
• You never survive a turnover: your pair has no answer to being surrounded, which usually means it is missing the movement half.
• You keep dying in the same spot: the pair may be fine, but you are arriving late. That is a positioning problem rather than a loadout one.

§What we cannot confirm#

The assumptions this page is honest about.

• How many items a player can carry, and whether that number is fixed.
• Whether a loadout is chosen before a match, during one, or granted by the game.
• Any item statistic, rarity, price or drop rate that would decide between two similar choices.
• Whether loadouts change by map or mode. No map list and no mode list is published either.
