Weapon customization is a great way to add variety to your game. About three-quarters of Jedi: Fallen Order’s campaign, the main character, his Cal Kestis, travels to the ice planet Ilum to search for his one of the original Jedi temples. Canonically speaking, this planet has a massive base of Khyber his crystals that act as the primary power source for the lightsaber. Simply put, Cal repairs the lightsaber and unlocks the weapon’s final form. So he can split it in half and dual wield it. Players can also swap components to create their “own” lightsaber. Unfortunately for Fallen Order, it’s purely cosmetic.
However, there are many games, both current and older releases, that offer vast amounts of weapon customization, some in their own way. You may end up taking different approaches. In some cases, they can offer a less lethal approach, offer better stats, or even change weapons entirely (such as Bloodborne’s Trick Weapon).
8/8 Mortal Kombat 11
The first entry is like a cop, just because it isn’t directly Weapon customization. Within 2019’s Mortal Kombat 11, publisher NetherRealm Studios introduced the Customizable Variations feature. Every character in MK11 gets an associated variation right from the start, complementing your playstyle in no time. This allows players to give their favorite characters a little more personality.
Speaking of which, did you know that custom variations were legalized in the fighting game scene a few years ago? As such, this is what makes certain builds of MK11 characters feel more unique/original designs. is. Even outside of the game, players can go into menus and adjust their play to suit his style. However, like many of these entries, obtaining these items requires some effort and luck.
7/8 Escape from Tarkov
For the past few years, Escape From Tarkov has been a mainstay for streamers and first-person shooter aficionados. A good deal of its popularity is due to the game’s more realistic approach to shooting (such as a HUD featuring blood loss, poisoning, tremors, and other real-life indicators) and some less common features. is. But if you ask anyone who usually plays more mainstream titles like Call of Duty, Battlefield, or Apex Legends, Tarkov will tell you that with countless gun customizations, he takes the options cake.
Tarkov’s tried and tested favorites aside, players can basically customize every weapon possible, from slides on pistols to recoil pads on shotguns to dust covers on assault rifles. Of course, some can be obtained by leveling up or doing certain activities. Additionally, players can also level up their proficiency in almost any skill in the game. However, consider that he has over 60 different guns in the game. This is a very long process.
6/8 fallout 4
It’s interesting to think that Fallout 4 was released almost ten years ago and still has a fairly strong and active player base. However, like many Bethesda flagships, a lot of this is due to the endless customization and modding options players can come up with when it comes to weapons. is still highly regarded.
For example, if your Sneak and Gunslinger perks are maxed out, you can use a 2-shot Crank Laser Musket with 10mm explosive rounds to do some real damage. A similar move can also be used to wield his crippled 10 mm pistol with a silencer and take down enemies with his serrated combat knife. Obviously, the combinations are endless and the sandbox is… well, your sandbox.
5/8 destiny 2
Destiny 2 forces quite a bit of grind and RNG, but the payoff is great because it offers some great customization options for Guardians (especially when many perks are usually randomized). Of course, this doesn’t mean you can’t get regular weapon drops either. Especially since some guns can’t be crafted and you can take advantage of perks that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to use.
But then again, the biggest time sink here is collecting all the materials you need to unlock the gun in the first place.
Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain is a long game. Especially if you want to be a perfectionist (140+ hours). Apart from the main mission, there are multiple side missions that can be unlocked that may not be very obvious to some people, such as the Legendary Gunsmith.
The weapon customization feature of this game is that the options for each weapon family are all interchangeable. Ultimately, this saves time and gets rid of the usual tedious weapon grind. This is always a positive, especially in more experimental playthroughs (such as taking a non-lethal approach by capturing bases with non-lethal tranquilizer rounds).
3/8 payday 2
When someone brings up Grand Theft Auto 5, the fanbase loves to mention that it perfected the third-person heist formula. 2) arrived as a result of , both of which set their genre-changing balls in motion. You start completing jobs around DC (some of which are optional) and eventually catch the eye of the unscrupulous dentist.
Payday 2’s arsenal isn’t decidedly creative, but it’s incredibly versatile. Many light machine guns, such as the Buzzsaw 42, are highly customizable. With the right mods, it can be incredibly accurate and can even be a silenced weapon if desired. Nonetheless, its precise long range is useful against larger foes who often do tougher heists in Payday 2’s endgame (many of which are still considered the best the game has to offer). are available).
2/8 dead rising 4
Although plagued by some technical bugs at first, Dead Rising 4 is still generally considered to be a lot of fun. In the context of the game, you play again as the protagonist Frank West, a former journalist investigating a zombie outbreak in a fictional town. Dead Rising is a series about creating incredibly wacky makeshift weapon combinations (known as combo weapons) to face endless zombie hordes. As players make their way through zombie-infested Colorado, they will easily come across various Blueprints (along with associated resources).
For example, you can create a “holiday junk” that is literally a Christmas wreath full of different Christmas odds and ends. When used against zombies, not only does it deal great damage, but players can pick up pieces of Holly’s Jolly to reuse. Of course, Dead Rising 4 makes multiple crazy creations.
1/8 Metro Exodus
Considering that Metro Exodus is set in post-apocalyptic Russia, the idea of ​​crafting your own weapons using materials from plundering various bandit camps and villages honestly makes a lot of sense. Thing. So while he only has 10 different guns in the game, each one has hundreds of variations.
For example, consider the Tihar, a type of airgun that can be turned into a powerful railgun with the right modifications. Already he’s one fan favorite, the Ashot, a pistol with shotgun power, but when modified correctly, stealth shotgun. decent.
