"We've improved the gunsmith for you."

GRB's Gunsmith has only three improvements on GRW's, in my view: wider selection of attachments, painting individually, and PEQ-15s mounted on the top rail. Aside from those, GRW's is superior.

I'm also curious about what Ubisoft considers "enough room" for mounting the PEQ-15 on the top rail. I'm looking at a SCAR-H with an Elcan scope on it with enough rail space to fit three PEQ-15s on top, but yet it's defaulted to the side rail.

Not sure I get all the obsession with wanting all these different weapons and attachments.

In the Tomb Raider games (which GRB seems very like) you just had one shotgun, rifle and pistol to choose from, and that worked fine.

In GRW you could paint individual components too. .....if that's what you meant. If that's the case, then that's one more thing we already had.

but from a small selection. Now you can mix and match all paterns.

Also on a different note enemies still dont reload just like in wildlands ( though the shotgun rushing soldiers seem to reload after 2 shots but the animation isnt really clear on that which is weird)

I actually enjoy the game but that still bothers me a little bit.

Like premiumart said, now you have full color customization as opposed to GRW's limited color customization. For example, I can now run a black rifle with tan attachments and buttstock.

Oh, ok. Yeah, I understand now.

After messing around with the gunsmith, I just know that whoever was behind the decision about the backwards direction that Gunsmith took, had to have dropped a brick in his or her pants, when the MW gunsmith was revealed. They were probably curled up in the fetal position, thinking "WHAT DID I DO????" and "HOW CAN I SPIN THIS AS AN IMPROVEMENT?".

So back when a few companies were making and trying to market 458 SOCOM to PMCs, one of them, I don't remember who had this brilliant idea to show how you could carry the upper and a few mags in your ruck, and then when under fire(and undercover) switch your MK18 into a heavy hitting boom stick. Anyway the advert with associated company seems to be gone, but the guy who made the advert has since uploaded it to Vimeo:

So yeah, taking barrel length out is a definite downgrade. Especially when going shorter. You could carry a 10.5 in barrel upper for a 416 in a ruck, and not be stuck with the ugly and highly impractical stock.

It definitely isn't the more robust system that we were promised. As far as how finding variants is different than finding parts in Wildlands, there are two things there RNG and Gear Score, neither of which were in Wildlands. Oh did I mention that if I want a short barrled 416 I now have to put up with a ridiculous stock?

Omg what is with that ludicrous stock on the 416 shortie?! I would never want to run that on an SBR. That thing is such a disgrace to an iconic weapon. Man I cant believe they went backwards on customization options. There were so many posts in Wildlands full of wish lists / options people wanted for barrels and stocks. Its like this whole thing is a complete troll. There were like 2000 posts begging for a short barrel option for the m4. Instead of adding this to their next game, they take barrel options away and force combinations of barrels/stocks/hand guards with variants. LOL! It's so blatantly the opposite of what everyone wanted.

I hoped, we would get another slot for bipods and one for lights and maybe a few more stocks and rail systems to choose from. But instead, they took away existing slots ... :P
