    "Prestiege" weapons being unlock-able before standard version seems like an oversight

    "Prestiege" weapons being unlock-able before standard version seems like an oversight

    It really means that all the guns are available right at the start of the game, killing any sense of progression

    I could see the COST of the weapon being a detrimental factor, except that you can earn sh(tloads of cash easily. Like a bear skin is literally ten times what it should be in term of revenue

    even then though, prestiege weapons should still be accessible only when the normal variants are.

    .....because that wasn't an answer moron.

    The weapons system for FC5 sucks, and its a huge let down
    Little to no progression from game start to game end in terms of weapon. A huge screw up compared to FC3 and FC4

    if you don't like somebody talking about something you don't like then don't respond to it.
    If I'm spamming the moderator can delete/lock threads at their leisure. That's their job, not yours. Your job is to be a flamming f** fanboi and you're doing a excellent job

    I will give you a simple reason.....
    Prestige weapons are able to be purchased with Silver, unlike most "standard" version weapons that can't. Being able to purchase them with silver means they have to be available at any time during the game, thus they have no time or level limit. Silver unlocked weapons also are available to be used immediately on replays same as with community event unlocked items.

    As far as unbalancing the game goes, true, BUT all weapon use is OPTIONAL---meaning, you can choose which weapons to use based off your individual desires. So basically if you find a gun takes away your enjoyment in the game....don't use it. Besides, the best gun in the game can be had within the first hour of play, and that is the M249 heavy machine gun...it is by far the best gun in the game, and if you pair it with one of the 50 cal sniper rifles you are set for the entire game.


    This game has many issues, to my mind, this issue doesn't even rate top 10 of them.

    Edited to add: IF you have Mars DLC, then one of the pistols actually is the best gun in the game, being that it is stupidly strong, beam weapon and unlimited ammo....so in base game heavy machine gun is best, and with DLC added, the Mars beam pistol is best

    the prestige weapons can be purchased with regular money as well, which is why they screw up the progression system unless you actively ignore them

    its bullsh*t they screwed up the perfect weapon progression system from previous games so they could haphazardly bumble-d*ck around with trying to turn the game as close to pay to win as they possible can

    its disgusting

    The THREE best weapons in the Mars DLC were all pistols. I'm assuming you're referring to the tazer spazer annilihazor?? I liked that one as well. But I might have liked the nut hugger even more, and the Obiteratorrrr was a close 3rd to those other two..,

    It's not even close to pay to win. You're neither getting better or owning beyond what other people can have without paying.

    You don't have to 'actively ignore them'. They just simply exist there as an option and nobody ask you to buy it.
