Hello, I would really love to see this implemented. It would be amazing if it was for free, but I'd be willing to even pay money for this if it was priced appropriately.
I'm gear level 450 and fashion in games has always been my thing a bit, at the same time also is min-maxing my build. I often have a gear piece with amazing stats, but I dont like its model, so the ability to select a different gear piece (that I already have) to change just the look would be AMAZING.
I don't see any disadvantages to having this, except maybe only in pvp - players wont be able to tall what brand set pieces someone is wearing. My solution for this would be to force all gear pieces to have their default model when entering the dark zone and in pvp matches. In all honesty, the gear pieces arent that distinguishable and after 48hours in the game I definitely am not able to spot someone 30 meters away from me and tell what brand sets they are wearing. Also even if I was able to tell on first glance, it would never be a "WOAH he has full wyvern set I need to be carefull because he has 10% more crit" moment as the brand set bonuses are so small it won't make anyone change their playstyle if they can tan someone is runnign x/y set.
I totally want this too. The ability to change the style look of my backpack to a different style of another backpack as 2nd kind of skin option would be sick. I hate big fat backpacks, give me a sling or smaller backpack skin, but let me keep the stats/talents I have on my equipped backpack or chest piece for example would be so appreciated.
Not just that. But I'd like there to be more solid color skin camo for gear. Plus it would be cool to be able to choose colors for more parts of our gear/weapons. Like for guns, I wanna make my magazines solid Red.
