The official gameplay trailer shows the same lasgun with and without scope, so it was pretty safe to assume we would get an attachment system.
The lasgun with the scope we have now
The same lasgun without scope
Also in the panorama spin of the whole squad prior to those 2 scenes we can see 2 veterans both with a lasgun, one with, the other without scope.
With what was shown in combination of the interview it was pretty much “confirmed” we would get such a system, imo.
But speaking on the topic at hand, with or without working attachment system, if the new system retains any amount of rng, its bound to fail. FS has the chance to set things right with the rework, so instead of doing something half baked that is still rng at its core, they should use this chance to do it properly.
I dont really care if they implement an attachment system later down the line, as I can play with mods for that. If they do it tho and maybe even get grassmann to help them and/or pay him handsomely for his work, I would be even more happy
