Arrowhead Game Studios Should Think About Implementing This

You can already change a few accessories in the game, like turning the flashlight on and off and changing the type of shot. However, the game does not offer any additional customization options, unlike Helldivers 1.

The ability to customize weapons would work well with the overall gameplay, but it would require many changes regarding unlocking content in the various passes. This is due to the need to replace all current content with new weapon accessories.

Similar to how Call of Duty enables the use of new attachments as the weapon levels up, the studio could devise a system that unlocks all accessories through weapon usage.

Gamers can’t wait to see this in action and try out all the variations. The possibility of having different types of ammunition, such as incendiaries and other attachments, increases excitement, and the community wants to test these possibilities.

In Helldivers 2, Warbond’s has demonstrated that customizable weapons are more than possible. Several weapons already feature special ammunition, such as a shotgun that exclusively employs incendiary ammunition, demonstrating the applicability of these minor weapon details in the game.

In a few days, the game will receive a free update that will add a lot of content, including new missions, new difficulties, and, above all, new enemies to defeat.

I'm a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
