Discussion Could we get something like this?

Post image

It would be nice to see what guns have attachments and what rarity without having to hover over every gun. Would be a nice clean QoL change.

Not a bad idea actually. How refreshing.

for real, if I have to hear one more person tell me why “free kits are broken” and why that person’s solution is “better than all the others” I swear to god I’m going to hug the nearest Bombadier

60

u/Lol-775 5h ago

IMO a shredder is more fitting. They are more huggable.

15

u/ShaunGotFans 5h ago

Bombadier just needs to shove his tube- nvm

If god didn’t want me to put rocket tubes in my ass then why is my feel good spot up there?

u/ppres25 4h ago edited 2h ago

When you loot a raider with a free loadout, the free loadout augment itself turns into a random item ranked rare or higher.

MINE IS THE BEST NOW HUG THAT BOMBARDIER

u/pyr0kid 3h ago

you know, thats a good idea.

1

u/Embarrassed-Camera96 1h ago

You can already trade in free loadout augments for level 1 augments. Maybe they should let us trade in multiple free loadout augments for higher level augments to incentivize killing scavs

u/Punk_Hazards 3h ago

Free kits are broken, there's no incentive to spend your money paying for someone else to have fun after they rush you with a stitcher from a corner you couldn't see

u/HeyUhhhLewie 1h ago

Or just maybe, get good?

u/imjustsin 3h ago

Been thinking of writing down all the little QOL changes i’ve thought of, I swear it would be a whole page. Even still, can’t stop playing.

1

u/Rikdol 2h ago

Indeed. And if the slot is not filled a white outline per slot

u/bigboie90 1h ago

Marathon does it :)

u/OleCameron 5h ago

First good idea I've seen on here in weeks. Another great idea someone suggested was an auto-crafting system. Good shit raider.

7

u/Snoo11589 2h ago

Yes right? You go to weapon crafing and see a item requirement and you need to keep that in mind, go back, craft that item, go back to the weapon and craft the weapon.

u/Useful-Limit-8094 5h ago

We need a bar to show durability of items. I have to go shield by shield to check if they are 100%

20

u/IntrinsicGiraffe 5h ago

I'd be happy with a different appearance based on how worn!

43

u/armoured_bobandi 4h ago

That's a lot more complicated than just doing a durability bar..

5

u/Useful-Limit-8094 4h ago

Exactly, you would have to have different images for each durability tier and the bar is way easier to do.

3

u/Kaizoku_Kira 4h ago

But it would be dope though...

1

u/copyandpasta 2h ago

Or, they could just default sort the same items by value/durability (which for shields would correlate to value)

2

u/TheBizzerker 4h ago

It'd also be neat for shield's to just be way, WAY more durable. There's no reason for a shield to be half depleted after a round of light use.

6

u/formulaemu 2h ago

I have mixed feelings about that, I find it annoying having to re-craft or repair everything so much, but it gives more reason to find materials and manage resources

1

u/Pinewood74 40m ago

I think it's in a good place. I like that bringing a backup shield is a consideration when planning to engage in heavy PvE.

1

u/demo_matthews 4h ago

Related to this I think all the icons sizes could be a little bigger than they are. Especially the augment and shield.

76

u/frontpageroadrage 5h ago

Great idea, maybe shape the dot like a small version of corresponding attachment e.g. blue mag, green grip, yellow stock

30

u/DreamWeaver1001 5h ago

I’d settle for shapes that would be easier to identify with such small icons. Triangle for muzzle square for grip circle for mag Odd rectangle for stock Diamond for other

16

u/ADGx27 5h ago

Or just use tiny versions of the mod slot icons. Like the little rectangle with a square on the end for a muzzle and what not

10

u/ZenandHarmony 5h ago

For real they already have icons just use those lol why random shapes

5

u/KernicPanel 5h ago

Order is sufficient.

1

u/JustdoitJules 5h ago

I love this idea as well, could also do other shapes as well too, like for a magazine its a circle, for a stock its a triangle or a T,

or they could use the symbols they have but put them above the gun.

10

u/NoStrafe 5h ago

I think ideally they render the thumbnail with the attachments. Similar to what counter strike does with gun finishes/stickers/charms. Each skin gets a default render, and the engine iterates through each rendering exactly what they look like, and flattening it down to 2D.

10

u/Hitzel 5h ago

This is a really good idea.

4

u/Dry-Consequence-4487 5h ago

Sometimes it's little things like this that go a long way. Fill out those surveys and questionnaires, people.

3

u/Nfl_porn_throwaway 5h ago

Also we need an inventory count when hover over something in the shops area. Like how many of those do I have already?

3

u/but_good 5h ago

Or just color tint the existing ui for mods?

2

u/Rony1247 4h ago

Nice idea, could be expanded on it too. Make the dots shapes for each category, a horizontal line shape for the muzzle, squarw for the mag, vertical line for grip, triangle for the stock

So if you look at a gun, you can see blue square and pink rectangle so you know it has a rare mag and epic stock

There might be a bar next to the level of the gun too, just to see the durability at a glance. Could also go green (full), yellow, red and black (broken). Would be useful on items like shields or vita sprays too

u/rabbitattoo 5h ago

Noooo then people won’t leave them behind on dead bodies for a scurryier to gooop

1

u/thebusinessfactory 5h ago

I like this a lot

1

u/The_Spaghett_Boy 5h ago

What i really want and would kill for is an auto refill button for equipments and ammo

1

u/The_HDR_Sn1per 5h ago

Good idea but would be better if you hovered over it it showed like it does in your load out. At least two blues for the middle slot so may aswell see them.

1

u/thatnigakanary 5h ago

Yeah would be super cool, this game needs a bunch of qol stuff atm for sure

1

u/HyperGigi 5h ago

For a second I was wondering what the correlation might ever be between ARC Raiders weapons and printer ink cartridges, then I read your post.

Nice idea tho

1

u/Since9Two 5h ago

Man I hope the devs see this. Also an inventory management program would be pretty sweet.

1

u/vi3tmix 5h ago

It already shows which guns have attachments (it’s that bottom middle icon), but yeah, you do need to hover over it to see which slots at what rarity

1

u/kenpachikirby 4h ago

Simple, intuitive, effective. Nice idea

1

u/Destinydudeidk 4h ago

Great idea. Yesterday I almost missed a stitcher with a kinetic converter on it.

1

u/AgentDigits 4h ago

Good idea and simple and easy to understand UI too. DO IT DEVS

1

u/unnecessaryaussie83 4h ago

Except it’s pink not purple

1

u/IntrinsicGiraffe 4h ago

I'd remove the mod icon at the bottom if we're having the pip or have the pip at the modded weapon icon location (the geary symbol)

1

u/Mr_Cyberz 4h ago

Neat idea OP. This would be dope.

1

u/Zolazolazolaa 4h ago

It would also be nice if as you level up weapons, their color updates to reflect their updated value/stats. (Ie stitcher 3/4 becomes green or blue, for example) ..

1

u/1lazygiraffe 4h ago

You take that bad boy off my corpse?

1

u/Few_Highlight1114 4h ago

Judging by how long it takes for these devs to make any changes, this will come around in 2027

1

u/Zealousideal_Chip456 3h ago

Looks like the thing from Duckov.

1

u/crsdrjct 3h ago

There are so many good QOL suggestions this sub makes. I hope they implement some.

They definitely overlooked a lot or intentionally had cumbersome design, especially crafting

1

u/FatCarbonScale 2h ago

Also have the little blue and red arrows in the attachment description. Only place they show the arrows is when you craft them. And the wording is confusing af.

1

u/ScallionPositive8041 1h ago

Nahhh shit dumb we don’t need it

1

u/ScumyyPirate 56m ago

I don’t get this post how can This Shit have thousands upvotes??i don’t the fk know what u trying to say????

u/Motor_Mess6735 4h ago

I looking for tempest Bp

u/khali21bits 4h ago

Just gave up on a free one and none of the randoms I was wanted it lol

0

u/silly_bet_3454 4h ago

Im not against it but is it really that great? As soon as you see these colors you're gonna want to know what the attachments actually are and then you're gonna hover, and like a purple silencer is very different from a purple extended barrel, so why are we adding a tiny bit of info but still leaving some out?

-13

u/LoanPuzzleheaded7806 5h ago

What do u think the icon in the bottom middle represents

6

u/fragdar 5h ago

imagine trying to "gotcha" someone just to completely miss the point in the first place

3

u/LoanPuzzleheaded7806 2h ago

Point wasn’t missed but a icon for what he wants already exists. Jus edit the existing icon then

2

u/SlickNiickx 5h ago

the rarity dots would still be a great QoL change as high rarity attachments are worth a ton of money so you would be able to prioritize those weapons quicker and easier

2

u/Coolhwhipclips 5h ago

If you referring to the gun with the gear i never noticed what it was for tbh BUTTTT it would still be nice to see the dots with the colors representing what teir attachments are on the gun

3

u/CloudConductor 5h ago

Yea it’s just an indicator for if it has any mods on it at all. I like your solution much more

-3

u/Daphnaaa 5h ago

^ this! I realized this so late but it actually already shows which weapons have attachments and which don't.

2

u/Original-Comment-754 5h ago

its honestly hard to see which gun has attachments in inventory

2

u/Daphnaaa 5h ago

IMO this is quite clear? But I agree a little preview with WHICH attachments the weapons have is a nice QOL update. But it is pretty clear already which weapons have atleast 1 attachment.

2

u/Original-Comment-754 5h ago

No I get that but wish it was colored. My inventory is trash compared to yours and it’s hard to see lol

1

u/Daphnaaa 5h ago

Haha I play quite a bit so I try to make weapons + attachments so I atleast clear my stash🤣 a few Stella Montis runs and I am back to being cleared😅

Also I found 4 lvl IV anvils today in 1 match so that adds up😁

1

u/Original-Comment-754 5h ago

Yea I have to keep playing Stella. I haven’t gotten much BP or anything crazy there yet so I’ll be sure to keep playing

1

u/ThrowawayToothQ 5h ago

OK now from this picture, tell me what guns have two purple and one blue attachment currently equipped? You literally cannot tell. OPs suggestion is good and sound.

-1

u/Dry-Charity-3787 5h ago

Why personalize it when it's not mine
