It's emphasis is on looting. Looting. In a superhero game.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Superheroes. Don't. Loot. They don't need to go on a never-ending quest to get better gear. Everything they need to wreck shit up, they already have. Thor already has the greatest hammer in the known universe, he is not going to find a better one anywhere else. Captain America has the best shield on Earth, he's not trading it up for anything. Tony is a goddamn billionaire with the full resources of an entire corporation at his disposal; if he needs better weapons for his suit, he's going to build them in the lab, not pick them up off the ground like some kind of hobo. And Hulk...the only reason he doesn't fight buck-naked is because they don't want kids to see his green junk.
This whole thing looked like a low-effort MTX-laden cash grab from the beginning, and it shows now that the beta is out. This could have been literally any of the quadrillion P2W shitfests we see flooding the market today, but this one has an MCU-colored skin wrapped all around it (or at least a cheap Chinese knockoff of one) because that's what's so hot right now.
Also, looting the dead is generally considered to be a lowlife thing to do, even in warfare (of course it was done in times of desperation - especially when it came to good footwear not wanting to go to waste - but it's not something any decent soldier or warrior wants to admit to. At least, so the Western noble stereotrope/civilizational yada yada goes. But as we've seen, all bets are off when it comes to the wonderful diversity of other cultures ....)
Needless to say, superheroes grounded in Western moral/ethical tradition certainly would NOT be going around stealing stuff from people just because they're dead/knocked out. And uh, when did superheroes start killing, anyway? I remember death being a thing in war and horror comics of the 70s (and in Kimba the White Lion), but not in the few superhero comics I read.
And yeah, way back when, watching The Incredible Hulk tv series as a kid, and knowing even then that Hulk should've had no pants, but he was going to have pants no matter what, because.
