Howdy! MisterShovels here. Big fan overall of Darktide and I’m excited to see it flourish into something awesome in 2023.
I’m requesting either a roadmap or an actual dev response to weapon attachments in the game! Previous communication has been a bit confusing and there never really was a static “Yes or No” answer to the question, so figured I’d make (another) post about it, and since this is a gameplay feedback forum, I’d like to suggest my own take! Nothing crazy advanced, but even letting us slap sights from the laspistol or lasgun onto other rifle-based weapons.
For reference, you can see some sights are separate entities that are attached to various weapons.
I think this would greatly enhance how people choose weapons, as some weapons feel like they are tailor made to have sights attached to them, like the lucius pattern lasguns as seen here, and many of the ADS style autoguns!
I think something as simple as having it associated in the appearance tab would be ideal, as at the moment that is the same area we go to attach different things to our weapons.
and before the inevitable comparisons to other games, I’m not suggesting attachments that drastically change the functionality of a weapon, like a barrel swap that would increase damage or something. Just an option to add sights to make the overall experience on other weapons feel more comfortable and player friendly!
Anyway just my thoughts on how to add something like this to the game, hopefully it’s found to be fruitful, and with some hope we may see something like this added in the (hopefully not too distant) future.
Cheers!
