The special AI-76 looks ugly

If it’s not already, weapon skins should be on the feature list… :thinking::sunglasses:

And make GZ into Fortnine? No thanks.

Is the underlying implication here that skins will make the game silly? In that case, let me elaborate. Would it hurt the game that you could choose to skin your weapon up to the tier you have? For instance if you have a 6-star weapon, you can choose any skin for 6-stars or below (this is basically what the OP is about).
Skins could also be unlocked via in-game achievements - or found, just like clothing. Actually, I don’t really see the difference between weapon skins and the clothing items we already have, as both are vanity items.
I would strongly advice against skins that can be bought or traded though, as in some other games.
How does that make it Fortnite? :sunglasses:

I could very much live with that. Not that I buy too much into that whole texture thing, but I wouldn’t mind a camo-version for a PVG for example (or a white one if it’s snowy). I’m with you on the trading thing: better not open that can of worms.

Also a nice idea, and a system like that doesn’t need to be as weird as e.g. SniperElite where all your weapons turn into shiny gold.

Nah, I was more thinking some nice camo skins that already fit in with the exorbitant amount of clothing available. :sunglasses: But for that 80’s vibe, maybe a gold sidearm could be an option! :wink:

Already in the game. 6* .50 cal has (woodland) camo skin on it.

Main discussion about weapon skins here: Weapon reskins customization.
I also shared a thought or two of mine in there.

:nauseated_face:

They sure know how to hide a camo-paint on a weapon but fair enough.

Its Camo! It was hiding from you…

yeah, looks like it. Though I meant a more distinctive kind of camo … Sniper Elite 3-style with grass and whatnot on the gun itself, or more toned to the soil/acres (brownish), or (it’s Sweden after all) a white one. Anyway … my mind is with tomorrow’s DLC-drop and update :slight_smile:

I love the Dilapidated 1* looks of the AI-76. It’s rusted, caked in dirt smudges and it looks like it’s spent 50 years in a ditch but somehow, just like an AK-47 it still works :slight_smile:

That it’s still smudged in Special 5* quality is fine to me. It’s a weapon with character.

I totally agree with you. I would love to be rocking the AI-76 Dilapidated version. But that lower damage is really a turn off

I completly agree with you

Would make it a “sleeper” weapon… :wink:

Exactly. And I think that Aesyle is misunderstanding us. We dont mean that we want to paint our guns pink or yellow. We mean minor thinks like scratching the gun or just changing the look so that the 5* level of a gun looks like the 3* level. Not repainting the gun

I get your point but it wouldn’t make sense for worse looking gun to deal more damage than better (newer) looking gun.

The experimental PVG and KVM SOUND ugly.
Not the kabooms, the idle.
Guns that idle…
These guns are great, mighty, and powerful…we will annoy you for using them with buzzing and whirring noises and call it “much needed balance”.
lol
First time in a video game I’ve ever switched to my sidearm simply to maintain what’s left of my sanity.
:crazy_face:

Well if the internals of the gun is the same then there shouldn’t be a problem.

They should have made the AI-76 the experimental, and dump the AG4

Or they could just add an EXP AI-76. Unless i am misunderstanding you. The exp AG4 also makes sense in game. as that was the main rifle of the military. Though I would love an EXP AK.

I’d rather see the AI-76 completely removed from the game than AG4. AG4 is in every way superior to the AI-76.
