Weapon variants in stances, is it possible?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Since 343 has made it possible to save rotation for stances, an addition which I much appreciate, I would be very pleased if 343 would make one more addition to the stance customization options.
The option which I would like to be added in the next update is: To be able to use weapon variants in stances. So that, instead of just being able to use the base gun, I would have the “option” to choose a variant of that weapon instead.

These are the names of the stances which use UNSC loadout weapons with “Before” and “After” examples which hopefully describe what I have in mind.

Before
At the ready (Assault Rifle)

After
At the ready ( Longshot Assault rifle with Long Barrel)

Before
Grim Resolve (Battle Rifle)

After
Grim Resolve ( Battle Rifle with LongShot scope and Energy Bayonet)

Before
Urban Recon (SMG)

After
Urban Recon (SMG with silencer and Recon sight )

Before
Weapons Free (DMR)

After
Weapons Free (DMR with Kinetic Bolts and Sentinel scope)

Before
Peacemaker (Magnum)

After
Peacemaker ( Gunfighter magnum)

Before
Tactical Carry (DMR)

After
Tactical Carry (DMR with COG scope).

There are many more combinations, as well as those above, that could be made if 343 would make it possible to use variants of loadout weapons in the appropiate stances. I know what I’m asking for is only cosmetic but I personally would really like to be able to do this as it would allow for more variety and creativity and I hope 343 will consider it.

Would you like to have this option or are you satisfied with how the stances currently are?

Yeah, I’d like it a whole lot. It’d be extremely cool to have the Tactical or Gunfighter magnum in the pistol stances.

Because boy oh boy I would be rocking the Gunfighter so hard.

That’s what I was thinking!

Do you think it could be done? The way I think it would work is, you go to loadouts, go to the variant you want and then hold A to “copy to stance” or something like that.

I mean, if the weapon pad glitch, vehicle welding, file browser, skins on new weapon loadouts and all that can be done, then surely this can to.

Imagine the Energy Sword stance with the Prophet’s Bane.

Or the SPNKR Prime with the “Fire Support” stance.

Right? Really, any of this would be utterly fantastic to have.

These would be nice, but you may get a Tactical Carry, but you don’t have any DMR variants, which would be annoying. Plus, the cog scope doesn’t have any variants yet.

You would still be able to use the default “Tactical Carry” stance.

What I meant was that I’d like to be able to use weapon variants in stances.

Say, if you opened a req pack and got a variant of a DMR with a sound suppressor, you’d be able to use that variant on the “Tactical Carry” stance.

This is a great idea.

I think it has been mentioned on here before. :relaxed:

I really hope that 343 will consider including this option in their next update, as there are loads of possible combinations.

I agree. I was happy that we can tweak our stance positioning in the most recent update.

I was very surprised when I saw the thread about its release, I was like “really?” and went to see for myself!

On another note, when do you think the next update will release? Are they likely going to save up content for a large Christmas update or is there an October update in the works?
