Fixing the Weapon Selection Menu

  • Ahoy Mates!
    If you've been around the forums for any period of time the odds are you've probably heard some sailors talking about how they despise the weapon selection Menu of the Armoury.
    Weapon Selection Menu

    What is the problem with it?
    Well, when you want a certain weapon you have to cycle through all your different Weapon Skins.
    Depending on how many you've purchased you'll have to cycle through alot of em.
    When in a tight spot this problem gets amplified by a thousand.

    Now, time for my solution!
    (That's why your here anyway)


    Alright so, when you access the Armoury:
    A menu with the 4 weapons will come on the screen.
    You can select which one you want by pressing A. (Just like it used to be)

    But if you wish to equip a certain weapon skin you'll have to press Y on the weapon you wish to equip the skin for.
    After pressing Y on the weapon you'll be taken to a menu with the Skins you've purchased for that weapon.
    From there you can set the Weapon Skin you want.
    After you've selected the skin you want, next time you open the Armoury that weapon will have the Skin you selected.

    The End.


    I hope Rare can implement this system.
    Or at least something as useful.
    Cuz right now it's pretty cumbersome.

    Anyways, let me know what ya think of this idea!
    Until then see ya on the seas!

  • Hear here.

    I actually posted about this months ago.

    Armory UI Mockup

    All we need is the main tab to show the 4 weapon types, and the cosmetics for each weapon can be on other tabs.

  • @old-man-monger
    Aye, that's even better than my idea!
    I want that!

  • @sgt-palooggoo wait how did you get behide the counter?

    The lass was having a Customer come by latter that day.
    She suspected he was going to rob her, so she asked me to hide behind the counter as an extra gun just in case.

    Real answer:
    Seaposts don't have barriers in front and behind the desk.
    So you can get behind em pretty easily.

  • I like it. Someway just to be able to quick switch quickly to each of the weapon types. Would be great to see something like this implemented.

  • Personally I've never purchased weapon skins because none of the skins are very interesting, they don't DO anything for the game, I didn't want to encourage the cosmetics = progression stupidity and I don't have to struggle with a cluttered weapons menu.

    Thanks mate, though I think @Old-Man-Monger's idea is more savvy than mine.
    So I'd like it if his idea got implemented.

  • @sgt-palooggoo thanks for telling me
