I think gun parts should come back. It was so satisfying collecting all the pieces and finally crafting whatever gun it was. Guns are far too common to early now adays.
I feel they could come back without to much intrusion. Perhaps they dont have levels and just whatever level you can craft...
Im loving A17.
It needs some balancing issues, but I've been playing non stop since Monday.
I also wear headphones and hear the squawks and panting of birds and dogs.
