This definitely won’t happen. Did you not use any camo’s in BF4? There were bright blue and bright orange ones for God’s sake. ---

Gold gun is in the BAR video by Westie. They seem to have different options for each gun? These don’t look as bad as the gold (9:51): [![Video: Battlefield 1- Best Battlefield game ever?

Lost Faith. Well guess what, ain’t going to happen. I’ve been calling for client side options to override all skins to default since the beginning of BF4, via all media outlets available. I take it you cant remove that hideous insignias from weapons either? ---

This is so much needed. As said earlier, it ruines immersion. Let’s say you are so deep into the game, you kinda stop thinking about a fun game, instead you think of it like an art of some kind. Then you get killed and you see a RARE BLUE ITEM on the killcam. Like the game says: “HE KILLED YOU WITH THIS RARE SKIN. YOU DON’T HAVE THAT SKIN. TAKE A LOOK AT IT IN ITS FULL GLORY”. It would be much better if we just see the weapon, as a normal one on the killcam. I won’t use those stupid skins, cuz they work more as an attraction to CoD players (there are hilarious camos in COD) rather than a real scenario weapons. At least give the players an option to disable killcam rarity classification. Maybe for now it isn’t such an issue, but like an RPG in BFH (which was really OP, but some said it takes time to unlock, so it’s balanced) players will start unlocking all of the camos. Then, instead of really great looking HUD, you will be seeing gun rarity shade. Also, it will be kinda weird to see every player holding a colorful weapon. Ruins the immersion ---

Yeah, that’s precisely the problem. But thankfully the vast majority of the skins are tasteful and immersive (similar to what soldiers would have done themselves).
