So is this feature completely cut from the game, 100%? No mention in the blog post or anything really recently. I know the big talking point right now is about the perks and weapon ‘crafting’ system, but this is #1 for me when it comes to the weapons themselves.
Are we seriously not going to be able to change the characteristics of weapons (rate of fire, reload time, magazine) or even to a lesser extent, change attachments (sights, scopes, flashlights, etc)?
I know this isn’t CoD, but seriously? Even barebones attachment systems have been in FPS games since the beginning of FPS games, They aren’t difficult to implement or build. And weapon modification is very 40k lore accurate.
I can’t understand the reasoning behind this decision unless the plan is to lock them behind a paywall or RNG the crap out of them. You put rail systems on weapons, why can’t I slap something on them?
I mean, that’s what they said they wanted to give us, but then they scrapped it and conveniently forgot to tell people that they scrapped it.
They scrapped it, because… You can’t sell as many weapon skins if you only have 1 weapon and not say… 5 different weapons with slightly different stats/scopes/flash lights
I think I remember some piece of official news saying it was planned, but removed at some point for “reasons”.
If it’s coming at all it probably won’t be until much later down the line if/when FS works out all the bigger problems.
They’d have to be really intent on burning the fanbase to add in even more layers of monetization, at least not unless they really pull a face turn in the future, but I wouldn’t put it past them.
