New weight system

#1

They do this with our grenades and stimbs, why not weapons? Kind of might make it a challenge balancing the weight of your guns to perfectly match gear and perks 😁

You are aware that the Fireteam’s guns have already this kind of effect?

Some guns have a higher weight than others, making you slower while moving with them.
The mercenary for example is extremely light. So light that you run as fast as if you would after selecting the knife.

I think you miss understood him. He is saying what of the guns you pick effect your overall gear point weight.

Recon has 8 gear points, what if the gosl cost 3 points to have equipped you would then need to balance out what gear you would take with you with the remaining 5 points

Oh that would actually be interesting.

Yeah it would alter the balance a lot. Idk if in a good way or a bad way.

Having them have point values would be interesting like @Vargaresa said, but it would defeat the purpose of being able to select any loadout you wanted with any class you like. Plus how much would each gun cost?

This would just kill the Scout class altogether, it would also make supports the only true meta since their weight limit would be the highest of the bunch allowing for the best load outs at the cost of speed.

No no no…pick whatever weapons you want with any loadout. Show no mercy to these preds. Blow the suckers apart or let them blow themselves up.

NO MERCY!
This is the Fireteam’s jungle 😎

If they were to incorporate this point system for guns and gear they would have to increase the gear points for all classes but x2 or x3 the amount. Then people would complain that Predators don’t have this weapon weight system, then Predator would get slapped with it as well

No increase fuck that. Meta weapons like the ak, gosl hammerhead. 3 points and then other guns 2 and the shit weapons 1. The ft need a limit ok what they can carry into battle they dont need to carry all that gear

Have to disagree. I think guns should be balanced with dynamic mechanics (like the prototype) rather than them literally being oh look you get better stats.
