There’s too many gold order guns.
When the value of gold order guns range from “Why” to “Broken”, the cost-benefit analysis boils down to “I want to be funni” or “I am a meta slave”.
There is literally about 4 GO guns per season, and 1-2 GWOs rewarded by battlepass. Old BP guns get taken off the shop, so it’s common to see people just save GWOs for something that is “worthwhile”.
I understand that GO guns are a novelty, but is it a novelty worth paying an extremely rare resource for?
Well…I might be odd or an exception…but my favorite gold order weapons probably aren’t the most popular/meta.

and I wish the Schmeisser and Berdan were still around.
By all means, what you get with the GWO at the end of the day is a personal preference.
It’s just that the choice between something you want and the thing that addresses an issue with a faction may not necessarily be the same, so the choice becomes conflicting.
Hyde 35 is also fun gun
I mean, sure…there are some real gems that are just too good not to have, like the Kurz or the Mondragon (but even that might be just my preference).
But for example, Germany doesn’t have anything like the Condor. But I don’t feel the need to have it, or miss is. and that’s only cos its ugly LOLOL.
I appreciate a selection, even if there is only a few that are meta.
but to each his own 
Novelty?
-AS 44 Mod 5
AS 44 is not a gold order gun…
Seems like a good idea, however I think that it might be a good idea to make it so make it so that you can win those extra GWOs by completing x amount of BP tasks by playing a specific faction every BP in addition to the one or two they give out in the BP every pass. That way, you not only can incentivise players to try out other factions and campaigns, but give a reward that will directly benefit their “main” campaign. It could probably work if you set weekly tasks for every faction and set the number of tasks for each to a reasonable amount, say 25 tasks for each faction.
Well even worse
The AS 44 with bipod is a premium weapon
The AS 44 with bayonet is a normal progression weapon
My point is, if that gun gets to be a normal progression weapon, nothing is that special for soviet gold order
That doesn’t have any impact on the novelty of any other gun though, especially considering how the merge will likely lock the AS 44 in a br where you won’t see many gold order weapons other than the truly meta stuff like the G43k and the Conders.
I still don’t understand why you’re bringing up the AS-44 when it’s only available as a premium gun or a tech tree unlock in a topic about gold order weapons.
