Why are the gun variants all statistically the same? (And other weirdness) | Forums

It's kind of a buzzkill to open up and unlock new weapons when some of them (specifically in the area of the rifles) are effectively the same, just visually different. If this isn't true, you need to reflect it. But honestly it's just kind of a visual change regardless, the fact that the MP5K has the exact same stats as the MP5, the shorty .45/70 has the exact same stats, etcera.

It's really weird and just kind of demotivates me to try out different versions. There should be SOME differences on the variants, otherwise why do they exist? I can understand the MP5SD and the MP5 being the same in some respects, but the attachment set up isn't exactly diverse so there needs to be something there to entice me to want to break out of my weaponized comfort zone aside from perk points, just for some fun differences.

Maybe that could be looked at in a patch or something? I dunno, it just seems kinda weird to me.

I agree completely. It’s disappointing how little we have to choose from, in a gameplay review I watched, the player made it seem like we had a huge amount of choices, but unfortunately that is not so. I could care less about paint skins for my guns, I’d rather have more guns and some knives. I don’t know why they skimped out the weapons, its importance should have been obvious.

The weapons in this game are lacking and the balance is overly simplistic. They screwed up in several areas of this game and that is one of them.

I like the idea of the added acc choices but that's about it.

While the GRW weapon implementation wasn't perfect it; was certainly better than this. Especially in variety and the accessory implementation (e.g. being able to add and remove accessories in the field------that's why they put rails on the guns!)---very frustrating in FC 5. Where's my M203 damnit!

I do give Ubi props for NOT nerfing the FC 5 guns when equipped with a suppressor! And they sound good too (on my system anyway).
