The palm rest on the marksman variant rifles is just terrible looking in my opinion. However, there may be players out there that really like it. Please give us the option to remove it while sacrificing on stability or equip times.
They look a lil funny sometimes (depends which model is used)
but doesn’t really bother me.
How about no, because first off that would ruin the idea of different variants of the same gun.
If this was a thing, then we might as well scrap the whole marksman sniper infantry system for snipers, after all what is the point in having different versions if we can just take them apart?
This would with weapon balance and would ruin the work DICE did to put in a working and honestly the best balance system. Right now if 1 version of a weapon is too good, all they have to do is go to that exact weapon and change the settings. In the past they had to with all guns because an attachment caused 1 gun to be better.
For example,
BF4,
Issue: laser sight causes gun X to be too good at hipfire and makes it a sniper rifle via hipfire.
Solution: Remove laser or change how the laser effects guns.
Result: Every weapon with the laser sight attached has been changed resulting in unwanted balance issue with gun Z
BF1
Issue: Automatico Trench’s hipfire is too accurate
Solution: Change Automatico Trench hipfire stats
Result: Only the intended change is done, no other weapon is affected by this change
But what about just changing the way the laser sight interacted with gun X?? That would require them to code a new version of the attachment just for that 1 weapon. Sure it would do the job, but would take a good deal of time to code, test and debug.
If they added something along the lines of extra depth in the cosmetic changes of the guns, I think that would please a good amount of people without sacrificing the weapon balance already in place. For example, something like changing the type of wood / material for the grips or stocks, changing the iron sight colors or materials. Etc
OK, but the idea of palm rest is to stabilize the weapon. How do you make a weapon op by giving it more sway (lol)? In essence, I would say remove it because it looks really derpy and keep the mechanics, but I know there are people out there that like it so thats why giving us an option to apply and take off would be fair I dont see you complaining about removing a bayonet?
I agree let us choose what we can put on it. It’s battlefield not call of duty
