There’s been a lot of weapon/vehicle redesigns throughout the years and everyone has their favourite versions.
No matter how Infinite ends up, whether they stick with the new designs, throwback to the old, or have some kind of mixture, I think it’d be cool if they made game specific skins. Every weapon would have a different skin for each game. For example maybe you don’t like the Infinite AR and your favourite is the H3 version, you can unlock/purchase the H3 AR skin and equip it.
I also thought about taking this a step further and apply it to vehicles as well. This would be more tricky though. For example in BTB you don’t spawn with vehicles so the only way vehicle skins could be applied there is if the vehicles appearance changed based on whoever is driving the vehicle, I know some people wouldn’t like that because of the immersion breaking but it’s an idea. This would be a lot easier to implement in WZ because you can spawn with vehicles. Though it would only make sense if they didn’t change appearances based on the different variations (i.e. Hannibal Mantis looks different than default) or took out variations all together.
I know they would have to change little things like maybe slight hitbox changes and where munition comes out because of size differences between versions, also scopes could be an issue as there are different types like how the H5 BR has a very different scope than the other BR’s so it’d be a lot of work to iron all that out but I think it’d be worth it.
What do you guys think? Would you like to make your weapons/vehicles look like your favourite version from past games?
