instead of having a new gun with new stats altogether, why not give option to change gun model?
for example, instead of MK46
you can use RPD model
or instead of using the Timik
you can use ARAK-21
what do you think?
So basically gun skins that affects the model ?
Heh, why not. It can’t hurt the game I guess.
Rather have new guns. Model swapping sounds more of a Steam Workshop thing anyway where people replace in game assets with other assets, though sometimes it becomes abusable by making things like invisible/transparent textures (when they should be solid)… or making player skins really bright so they stand out even from across the map.
Anyway, I know this wasn’t actually a suggestion for steam workshop content, however if the developers are going to go through the trouble of making new gun models and animating them and coding in a menu so you can change what model your gun uses… then it would just be a lot easier to make them new guns and do the much easier thing of just assigning these new models their own stats.
Well from my understanding, DB doesn’t use exact copies of real guns anyways, only models based off them. It wouldn’t be hard to make them use the same ammo, or even keep different ammo model and give it identical stats.
It would probably confuse noobs. “wow RPD so OP i cant kill shit with this stupid mk46 le QQ”
It’s not like Skyhammer gives out different ammo packs for different guns.
Honestly I’m fine with this as long as the alternative model suits the gun type
and people will argue for pages over rof and dps for Timik and M4, same ammo difference
Well it has multiple types of ammo stuck to it, same with the ammo station. It’s reasonable to assume it wouldn’t really matter if the two guns did use different ammo types.
