Diamantine to 'reset' weapons

[Flawless]

Fatshark stated the following in a dev blog:

We are aware that the changes mentioned above do not give unrestricted freedom to all aspects of an item. To do so would have a big impact on item acquisition in Darktide, and we want to explore different paths further down the line.

I believe it’s reasonable to think that Fatshark will work or is already working on a better solution to replace the locks, considering they have planned on the new skill tree since the beginning

They also said this in the “Shrine of the Omnissiah” dev blog:

We have learned a lot from our previous choices and gameplay surrounding crafting offered within the Vermintide series. For Darktide we wanted to take those lessons to expand and improve in such a way that crafting would become a central pillar of player progression, while giving more impact and agency to you, the player in your preferred playstyle.

The nature of randomization and repetitive actions sometimes seen within crafting is something that we are steering to avoid in the crafting system within Darktide. Meaningful choices will be made with strategy and goals behind them, as you set your eyes upon that perfect combination of melee and ranged weapons for your class.

But we know that their crafting system delivered the opposite of that, especially in regard to the highlighted statement in the second paragraph.

So i guess we should take everything with a grain of salt.
I would like to be optimistic about anything they say, but it does not seem to be a good idea.
Anyway, let’s hope we get something good with the October update.
