The game could benefit from this concept, so players don’t have to constantly change their equipment and can quickly choose something predefined before a mission. The organization of the weapons could potentially enhance the gameplay. Being able to name these loadouts is great because players can differentiate them by mission type.

There are many types of missions in this game, and depending on which enemy is fought, there is a weapon that would be much more suitable and would be nice to select before the mission without needing to change aspect by aspect. This concept is very compatible with the game’s gameplay style.
