Stackable lease?

[Mitne]

I had idea... not uber sure if good - surely will be blessed by some but I see what problems it might bring:

Stackable leases of weapons.

You know how leases work now, right? You rent weapon for cash for 10 days, period. If you rent that weapon again, you will extended that time again to ONLY max 10 days.
What if that would be stackable? You lease weapon for 10 days. Then for 20 days. 30, 40 etc. etc. - limit is just budget.
Now. I see problem - free weapons are supposed to be struggle, it's in some way well-though process to force player to eventually give up and buy weapon he wants instead of (in some cases) farming money for lease.
On counterweight - He still need to have this money and he just purchase this weapon lease in advance... it become less annoyance. I can imagine some would love that.
This especially should be extended to Joker Distribution too.
What do you all think?

pretty sure they are stackable right now already

i do own most weapons permanent so i didn't test it out recently but i had a HoHoHoPGL or whatever it was called leased for 500+ days by stacking the duration (albeit only purchaseable once a day)

lease stacking is limited by the amount of weapons you can buy per category, just like modifications there’s a certain amount instock and a cooldown period until the weapon is “restocked”

orbit has added a handy little ui menu in the last patch that allows you to renew leases right from your inventory (10 day, 20 day and 30 day options iirc) - its located in the same menu where the refurbish option is 

edit: lease renewing seems to still be dependent on "instock" inventory (smgs are 50 days, but explosives are still limited to 10 days at a time), despite not using a contact

You can rebuy leases for up to 50 days from the inventory after they run out. It seems to have been added in the latest update without getting a mention, which is weird since it’s a pretty nice feature.

g1-esque.

as minor as changes may be, they really need to be publicly documented...

I guess this thread can be locked now.
I wasn't aware this feature was put in-game.
Also it's obviously confirmed. Any lease can be extended from locker view to max 30 days.

Bruh that would take literally dozens of seconds.
Aint nobody got time for that.

You could always extend leases, this isn't a new feature. It's limited by the daily purchase limit of a given weapon category (can't purchase a lease if you have none available, obviously), as well as by an upper limit on the total lease duration (IIRC it's two months).

Just don't get it past January 19th 2038.
And sorry, it appears we've missed this from the patch notes, I've added it retroactively.

Good to know. Maybe I'll finally start actually taking advantage of the feature, since there's nothing left in the game for me to save APB$ for.
