(Im talking specifically about all rifle sized guns, so not the revolvers, bolter, plasma or the SMG)
This is NOT me asking about a full on weapon customization system.
Just a really basic system that allows us to have the option of:
1 - different optics ( like the 2 or 3 that is already in the game).
Some iron sights in the game are not stellar to say the least.
2 - have the ability to EITHER have a bayonet like the lucius helbore lasguns or a light on our autoguns/Lasguns.
Not all maps need a flashlight and the special condition lights out is a special condition, you will play many more maps that dont need a flashlight, which makes it boring to not have something to use as a special ability/attack on a third of the guns.
Having the veteran with a wider selection of ranged weapons that have a good melee feels like a no brainer for the class that is suppose to be good at range (less need for the veteran to switch to his/hers melee weapon if some stragglers gets by the squad when the veteran is trying to take out specialists ).
The only reason i really use the lucius helbore is because of the bayonet.
I know that you are thinking “but that is one of the things that makes the lucius helbores unique to use” and you are right… but it should not be one of the things to make it unique, plus it will still have its charged range attacks that are really sweet to use as a big unique thing.
As a veteran, not being able to put a bayonet on mah gun is heretical.
