[FEEDBACK] [SUGGESTION] Dear Ubisoft, please add new tabs to weaponsmith. | Forums

[Ghost-Ami]

To help us view, modify, and select our weapons more easily I'd like to see some new tabs created for weapon classes.

Right now we have:

(1) All.
(2) Assault rifles.
(3) LMGs.
(4) SMGs.
(5) Sniper rifles.
(6) Shotguns.
(7) Crossbows.

Some of these are extremely large and unwieldy, especially for those of us who have picked up all weapons in the world and/or defeated many buchones and got their custom weapons and/or bought many other weapons from the store or won them in crates.

The "All" category can probably go even. Does anyone really use it? Would anyone really miss it?

At minimum I'd like to see three new weapon class tabs created.

(1) Battle rifles. These would be any weapons using fullpowered rifle cartridges (7.62x51) and possessing automatic fire. Right now this means the Mk 17 SCAR and the Mk 14 EBR and their custom variants "Nerd, "Tiger Fang", "Occult", and "Captain" for a total of six weapons, and you can use the category later if you ever feel like adding HK417, G3, FAL, things like that.

(2) Medium machine guns. As above these would be machine guns using fullpowered rifle cartridges (in this case 7.62x51 and also 7.62x54). That means the HK121, Mk 48, and PKP and their custom variants "Wasteland", "Reaper", and "El Baston" as well as the unique "Veteran" Bren Mk 1, a total of seven weapons.

(3) PDWs. These would be weapons currently in the SMG category that use cartridges that outperform traditional pistol rounds in muzzle energy, penetration, et cetera. This right now means the P90 (5.7x28), MP7 (4.6x30), and Knight's PDW. (6x35) and their custom variants "Doorkicker", "Murmillo", "Glory", "Cartel", and "Jaw", a total of eight weapons.

Also, as a sidenote, the Magpul PDR from Fallen Ghosts should really be transferred to the assault rifle tab, and its magazines should be fixed so that they register as 5.56 P mags.

I'm confident adding new tabs must be fairly easy to implement a la the crossbow. What might be more difficult but which could be done in addition to or instead of these new categories would be the creation of a "favourite" tab we can assign our most used weapons to and have that be the first tab disaplyed (instead of "all"). This favouriting system might be more effort to code, but it would make inventory management even easier.

As always I'd appreciate hearing from a CM that they've passed this suggestion on to the devs. It's not as vital as many other things for the September update, but if it could be squeezed in that'd be wonderful.

Thanks!

If they even just added a “Special” tab that contained the Boss weapons & other unmoddable bonus weapons and removed them from the base weapon tabs, that’d be a huge improvement.

Yeah, the custom paintjobs and such are all well and good, but not being able to change a weapon's mods? Mehhhh...

I want my weapon to feel like something I've lovingly worked on and kitted out how I like.

And, yes, really any kind of filter would be an improvement.

Thanks for the suggestion and feedback on this

That would be nice.

That'd do it for me.

Are you saying like take the medium- long range scopes off his ak then add it to our customized rifle. If so then that would be a good idea for a tab I would sure take the wraps on some the guns I have and put them on my m4 with the Carl Bookhart paint, but with my color choice stock

Mostly we're talking about reducing the size of long lists of weapons that are a pain to scroll though.

But, yes, being able to weaponsmith the custom guns or take components from them and put them on noncustom guns could be cool too.

Not trying to be a pain but I actually find the 'All' tab useful at times. When I have picked up a lot of new weapons of various types but don't want to use them yet, or even plan to use them at all; it's nice to go to the All tab and just scroll the whole way top to bottom so it gets rid of the "New" notice on Loadout. That way I don't have to go tab to tab making sure I've scrolled past everything, and I don't keep going "oh cool, I have new gear/weapons! Oh NM it's the same SMG I never use."

I like the ideas shared here and I don't want to upset the apple cart but there is a benefit to keeping the All tab..

I just thought of this today, but would anyone find it helpful to have a "Favorites" tab, and the ability to add/remove weapons from it? That way if you are doing a themed role-playing type deal you can have the only weapons your character would use all on one shorter list rather than having to sift through some of those extensive pages? Just a thought but I kind of like it..
