PC removal of weapon parts hits me badly

The way I see it is if they made the gun nonfunctional until every mod slot was filled then you all would be happy.
That’s the way the old system worked. You found parts and the gun wouldn’t function until all the parts were included.

Now you can shoot the gun for base damage while you assemble it. But if they took that out and made it like A16 so that you could only use the gun once fully assembled you would see your differences in damage and power between purple blue green yellow orange and tan quality tiers.

No.

'♥♥♥♥ i better dye my gun pink so it actually works'.

The mod system is always going to be far inferior:

We went from a gun being a collection of unique individual parts affecting a number of diffrent stats to dying it an obnoxious colour for more damage.

Explain it away all you want, one was a complex and deep system and the new one one is 'hurr durr my gun is painted green so it hurts more'.

really want to make a joke here about folks coming across as donkeys...but it was just too on point

because it was soo fun to have an entire chest full of gunparts that I couldnt sell because the trader didn't want 5 shotgun barrels Not only did you need the parts but you needed to be lucky and find the book for the gun. Good luck

This.

I loathed weapon parts. They were the exact definition of tedious.

I'd much rather just find guns and make decisions on which is better than having multiple crates of stupid parts waiting for the one part to assemble.

maybe adding a dye slot is not so easy? No idea what it takes but maybe adding 2 different types of slots isnt something they can do? IF you hate dye adding damage that much you must really hate that the clip extender and other mods also add damage.



except the best guns ahve more mod slots so rather than choosing 1or 2 mods for a level 2 gun (dont remember if it has 1 slot or 2 slots) you cna choose either 4 or 5(again slot #'s evade me) mods for a level 5 gun. That makes the higher level guns better overall. ALso durability is a big thing when you use it all the time. It can be the diffrerence between carrying repair kits all the time or on a horde night not having to repair as often.

You can add it into the crafting menu

Gun/armor/tool of choice + dye = Crafted Colored item of choice,

If you want to return it to normal you can use an anti-dye or something that would be used to craft the item back to normal color.
