This is an idea for the future for when all weapons are available in our armory. Let’s get the game on track first.
Someday when we have covenant and banished weapons available to customize I hope to see skins that add different visual effects to the gun. For instance a Needler with green or blue needles and when fired everyone saw the needles from that gun the different color, or plasma pistols with different colored plasma. Things to give the gun a completely fresh look and feel, make it worth that 10$.
It’s said they got a ten year plan for this game, they gotta keep things fresh some how. I’m definitely looking forward to the day when I can once again wield an orange energy sword. Any thoughts on other possible weapon customizations you wanna see?
I think they said aliens because we still have a couple of covenant era weapons, and some Jul 'Mdama era weapons too. Neither of which are the Banished.
I see a lot of different coloured plasma effects in the forge leaks. If we had something like this but emanating from the top of your gun like steam. That would be interesting.
A hot metal effect would be interesting. Imagine the side kick looking like the top of it was in a furnace and it is glowing hot and emanating a faint smoke effect
Coatings evolving as you fire shots (Resets when you reload). For example: If you have an animated coating. It could get more intense or detailed as you fire. A glowing coating could glow more and more
In writing, you can use “they” to refer to an individual before knowing their gender. I think Tom Scott made a video about this. But basically, since I don’t know their gender, I can instead of defaulting to male, use they. Has nothing to do with LGBTQ stuff, mostly just writing. But in regards to other posters, I think alternate audio would just become confusing, like thinking you’re getting shot by a BR when it’s actually a sidekick.
The way the weapon/vehicle customization is set up, it already takes quite a bit of time to go through and customize all your weapons (if you can that is)
It could also be a stack of midgets in a trench coat, we don’t know. Either way, my writing is more proper like that. And this side argument isn’t contributing to the topic.
In regards to the actual topic, I disagree @ShinoKeiyakusha . I think that it would negate the reasons to have different audio on the weapon.
How do the banished and covenant even make tools, they have disgusting claw hands, can make space ships, but you tellin me they never made it to braces for their ugly mouths? Ion even get how they fire some of these rifles with their grubby talons.
Don’t hold your breath. People already complain that stuff like the cat ears and the mohawk helmet VFX are going overboard. People weirdly take realism super serious in games about killing aliens.
