Weapon cosmetics? (Just like the outfit system)

Now for clothing it is not the biggest problem cause the donation sets aren't too much of a booster compared to the donation weapons.

Just my two cents of thoughts on this topic when it comes to overriding items.

Now as I shared before and with HexiPipi, the idea I had is also a form of cosmetics but without any advantage of trickery or stats.
It also would create an easier way for so called 'chroma's' and a better way to have multiple copies of a certain idea in various colours and designs as how we currently know it is in the GunZ developing scene (aka copy the same model and texture, meaning you have 2x more kbs/mbs and so on as it should be in theory).

But I am just throwing in idea's without touching the true nature of the game and without touching the current status/balance of FG.

All of that can be solved if the name of the original weapon stays the same. It's doable for the devs I think. Maybe you can't tell what weapon it is, but if you check the replay or spectate the player, you'll see it's a lb or something else.

Also, restrict shotties to shotties as a override. So you can't use a limit breaker skin for a revolver. etc...

even non donators could have some other skins instead of some ugly low lvl guns

I suggested this in the past, but they pretty much laughed and told me to **** off. Hopefully this suggestion can pass, because it could be a great idea. It's literally the same concept as the clothing but with weapons. And people are always going to find something to complain about when it comes to change anyway. Can't please everyone lol

Nice one, would be cool to see something like that being added. Although, I think it is better to tick-a-box for something like this, to turn it off and on. If someone's wielding a Pioneer for example, I think they'll be reported for it. So sort of.. own risk I guess? Overall, pretty cool.

I say yes awesome idea!

I also just thought of this idea too, and came here to see if someone had made a thread suggesting it already, I was surprised to find one so recent. The reason I thought of this was because I wanted to use the Golden Dragon Sword, which looks really nice and gives that 'ijji' experience, but it means I cannot use my donation sword which has better stats.

I think a lot of people would like this to be possible, and I fully support the suggestion.

like I said before it shouldnt be on all weapons that would be gay just the main ijji items e.g. (pioneer, b9p, b8, golden dragon sword, shura, and zaurus revs & etc)

if theirs 2 many it would cause confusion in reports anyway atleast this way its better understood + i doubt any other item gna be used more then these

yeee pioner oldschool rofl... but wut pioner with pony ?

Yeah that's what I said. But if they are going to make random things that should give the expression that it's an skin than I don't really care anymore. There are quite a few ways to just let skins be there. There a lot of ways to clarify a specific person uses that specific weapon instead of the skin he or she uses. I'm in for actual skins like in clothing. Just having some recolors sounds nice I suppose but it does require quite a lot of work.

Also, skins don't change the core gameplay at all. I don't get why I get a reaction saying "Improving GunZ is hard" and "all the players scream like children". I'm for change. I don't see how a bunch of skins can change the core gameplay though. Skins sound fun but not a few recolors.

Having the same name does not matter, it matters in the game.
When you play you cannot see that there would be a LB be hidden under the skin of a breaker 3 for example (which would "unfair" in a way if you think you opponents has a low lvl item but suddenly does a lot of dmg?).

Also they would never make it that you can override a LB with revolver looks, it will always be stuck in it's item category, like clothing > pants - pants > chest - chest.

Every donation item isn't limited to a level. They're all level 0. ALMOST every low level just switches his donors to the alt and plays with it. Only a small percentage of fgunz plays with non donors. Limit is " only " one damage higher than the rest of the weapons so it's basically not "unfair". Besides, there are so many shotguns in the shop that people won't even care about the looks of the shotgun, imo.

If we make certain rules and restrictions with these "weapon skins", it will all be okay. A lot of support on this thread so i'm pretty sure it won't affect the report section that much.

Lets say,

- you can only skin the limit breaker with a pio (encourages people to buy more luckyboxes Lol Kappa)
- Skin other donation shotguns with B9p, b8, b7, cruelizon.

But keep the names the same of course. There has to be a away to tell people that it's a skin.

No recolors, just re-skinning weapons like the limitbreaker to a pioneer. Maybe there could be a setting in "MISC" to turn off the skins, in case you're bothered by people using skins...
