Give A Name To Your Weapons.

[JuanS]

I think it could be a nice feature, making the weapon more personal, I read something like this but for the sentinels which could be nice too.

[Kiteless]

This is fred. Say "hello" to Fred. Fred doesn't like you. Fred has an explosive temper. Fred's going to say "hello" to you now. Then he'll say "goodbye" to what's left.

 

But on a more serious note, this sounds completely pointless. Just call your gun Fred, no one will care.

[JuanS]

But you are not angry, right?

[Gearb0x]

Hell, I'd pay plat for a nametag.

 

It's a niche idea to back burner until end of beta, but I like it.

[SlackBrutality]

Really think this is a good idea, along with maybe at the end of a mission something showing the deadliest weapon that round and who it belonged to.

i want to rename my snipetron to Lore Breaker for the lols..

/would pay for

[Inberun]

Gorgon: Lady Godgon

 

Other guns: There are other guns?

[TheMalachai]

I think there'd have to be some other benefit beyond a name for it to work for me. Personalizing your weapons is a great idea, but only if there's some boost to the stats. Like you can choose one from a list of buffs (with possible debuffs to go along with it). Something like innate boosted clip size, higher damage but lower fire rate, lower fire rate but higher damage, greater accuracy, et cetera. Nothing major, maybe 5%, but enough to make it unique.

 

And me? I'd call her Vera.

[Angylika]

I'd call my Gorgon 'Melinda'... After my ex... They are both loud and spout out a bunch of BS.

[Rob098]

u mad bro

[Nezzle]

Sir! The Private's weapon's name is Charlene, Sir!

[Kasamoto]

Sir! The Private's weapon's name is Charlene, Sir!

"This is my Latron

There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My Latron is my best friend.

It is my life.

I must master it as I must master my life.

Without me, my Latron is useless.

Without my Latron, I am useless.

I must fire my Latron true.

I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me.

I must shoot him before he shoots me."

 

                      - Latrons Creed as quoted by L.Ermey Tenno

 

 

 

It's a nice idea, but I'd prefer new weapons, weapons models, new content and textures over customizing gimmicks for now.

Maybe your idea will be realized once open beta ends and DE is having more time on their hands.

Like this idea, they should have some achievement related statuses that you can attach to your weapon that adds a minor bonus related to the acheivement. 

 

Killed 3 Grineer with one bullet? The "Skewering" <insert weapon here> +10% to existing puncture, or maybe a special animation on death.

Achieved 10 missions without getting discovered once? The "Silent" <insert weapon here? + silence to all your weapons

 

The above bonuses are for portrayal of the concept of related bonuses. I think this may have players explore more styles of gameplay.

I agree it is completely pointless... I also love the idea anyway. I even have a few names picked out, Winona, Gladys, Wilhemina.

[VScipii26]

Steve.
All of them will be name Steve.

But this is pretty pointless because of the fact people can't see your weapons during missions.

[sambarpowder]

I'd call my Gram Bianca <3

[Sagonene]

All my weapons and sentinels are named Rodney. Except Dethcube, that is Lemmy

[Volt_Cruelerz]

Completely pointless, but yes, I would name my weapons given the chance even if doing so cost a tiny amount of platinum.

[JuanS]

Some of us have a weapon that is our favorite, the one we don't want to sell and want to keep as long as possible, giving it a name can make it a bit more special, yes is pointless in terms of combat but this idea is more about customization in the aspect of how you see your weapon.

 

If you want the name to be seen by others, this maybe can be added for the winner of the duels in the dojos after win.

It is my very favorite gun … This is the best gun made by man. It has extreme sentimental value … I call her Vera."

See what I mean? ;-)

[Juttyjut69]

Snipetron: Elephant Killer

 

Other guns.... why would I use another gun?

[GeoffFromAccounting]

Fang: Grineer Ravagers (because they pwn Grineer)

Gram: Face Cleaver (because of it's power)

Paris: Hunter (because it's a hunting bow)

 

this would be a cool, yet useless, thing to have
