    Prestige leeding to lack of content?

    Did you notice that a lot of the guns and vehicles in Far Cry 5 are "prestige"? Prestige, in my mind, are just reskins of the exact same weapon or vehicle with little-added features. My theory is that because of prestige stuff there is a lack of content regarding weapons and vehicles. Far Cry 4 had lots of different guns to choose from. Sometimes to the point where they were unnecessary. Now, in FC5 we have little base guns. Maybe I'm stubborn, but I think that the prestige stuff might be leeding to a lack of content.

    I really think it is not over the top and just made so people with not much time or impatient people with excess cash can go buy those nicely skinned prestige weapons - if they want - their choice.

    For me it does not matter at all ... I just go and hunt in the best areas per the many youtube hunting videos and I feel like I earn those weapons and vehicles the fun way. I can make easily around 50,000 in game money in about half and hour and have huge amount of fun doing it. Go try it and then just buy all those cool looking weapons that you want !

    The real cheating would be if you could get all the perks by some shortcut of paying money but you cannot ... else I might have considered that ! probably no really as I like the challenges.

    imo I think they chose this route to make us think there is a variety to choose from and to also add guns into the game Via dlc and live events. hopefully there new adoption of putting out content continously for there games will fix this lack of guns/vehicles/clothing...etc.

    Honestly, it feels like a bit of a cheap move to me. Along the lines of: "see that sick weapon/car? you can skip playing the game to unlock the base version and just outright pay real money for the exact same thing with a locked skin now."

    The prestige weapons are pointless to me and should have just been done as a purchasable skin for the gun

    Prestige vehicles should have been done as customizable upgrades. Buy this WWII style plane, complete this mission to be able to purchase guns/missiles/bombs for it.
    This pickup truck? Mount a M60 to it. Not enough freedom to dispense? Try a .50 cal. Need more ramming power? BULLBARS!

    i feel like there's a lot of wasted potential making armed and unarmed variants instead of fleshing out the rather lacklustre customization
