Honestly I’ve had this idea for awhile now and I’ve decided I would share it. What if we could mix match guns with skins. What I mean by this is let’s say I’m not too big of a fan of Mccree’s Magistrate skin (I actually quite like it this is just an example), BUT I love the gun on the skin. I instead could equip Magistrate’s gun and use Mccree’s Royal skin. I feel it could also give more of a use to the weapons slot in the hero gallery besides equipping golden weapons. This idea could be one of the greatest or stupidest ideas I’ve come up with I don’t know. Please give me your thoughts!

YES! I want Barbarian Zarya gun with every other skin. I wonder if the equipment is part of the model or if it’s it’s own object.

I would love to have that. I love the Oasis gun on Symmetra, but Peacock and Architect are two of my favorite skins for her.
I believe they’re separate. You can see the models separately in the hero gallery and the guns do usually fall away from the hero model upon death.

They need to do something with the Weapons sub-menu besides selecting a Gold skin.

I really like McCree’s blackwatch gun, but I like the Van Helsing skin overall. Would be nice.

Honestly it’s surprising it didn’t happen earlier.
My guess is that the gun’s and character’s skins are one entity for the game so they would probably have to rewrite some code to include it and I’m not convinced it’s in their plans, at least not for now.

I hope so, it is easy to separate or hide part of a model though, and the weapon falling away could just be part of the physics on that model.
I really hope it’s separate and they thought about this as soon as they implemented the gold skins.

This sounds interesting…I like it!
Oh, wait…that also means I’ll have to branch out and try other heroes. Still, I like it!
I do believe the guns and character model (skins) are separate entities.

I feel like people could come up with some amazing, interesting, or funny combinations if this were to become a thing; however, I could possibly see some issues with the character with multiple weapons.

Yeah I really like this idea. Also being able to take off hoods, masks, or other sort of simple accessories would bring so much variety and customization that i’m sure people would love.

doesn’t sound too bad, i’d like to see mercy’s devil staff with her zhuque skin but isn’t the whole point of equipping a skin the appearance of the gun? //since it is an fps where you can only see your arms outside of emotes//

I think this is a really great idea and I would love to see it implemented, but I imagine it would require a lot more effort since a lot of that stuff are put into the model. I definitely could be wrong though.
