So, since the merge arrived, random weapon stars are gone, which makes it really harder to upgrade a lot of weapons since you need to buy them and UPGRADE them to make them viable. With some numbers:
1- It takes 2032 silvers to buy AND upgrade a tier 1 weapon to 3 stars (because you don’t want that the rifle you have (All USSR bolt actions minus mosin sniper. All Germans rifles except G98 sniper, carcano 1891 sniper, pre war k98k sniper and sniper carcano mod 38.All USA bolt actions minus M1903A1, M1903A3, M1903A4, Lee-Enfield T, Both SMLE and Lee Enfield No4 Mk.1. All Japan bolt action minus sniper type 99) to need to 2 tap most ennemies by aiming at the torso). It’s rare that i get around that many silvers in 1 game, i do around 850 to 1,2k maybe 1,4k per match when winning.
2- it’s 6483 silvers to buy AND upgrade a tier 2 weapon to max (Mosin 91/30 falls into this with Winchester M1895 to make them able to 1 tap to the body up to 100m, which is needed and Armaguerra also falls into this).
3- god forbid that you decide to get a Tier 3 weapon and higher because it’s 12992 silvers to buy AND upgrade a Tier 3 weapon to max (SVT-38 and sniper variant, G41, FG-42 and variants and both Type Hei and Otsu rifle plus Type 4 need to be at max upgrade to be able to 2 tap to the body otherwise it’s a 3 tap, Most Assault rifles to reach the 3 tap to the body otherwise it’s 4 tap)
But, there’s also the basic tier 0 rifle, you may ask. Yeah, but it’s depending of the nations it’s either bad (Mosin 1907 carbine, Type 38 carbine) or okay-ish (Gewehr 33/40, M1903) and then the price to max it is only 1300 silvers. But the price to get one and upgrading it is around 4300 silvers to 128000 silvers because to get them, you need to buy SOLDIERS which aren’t cheap.
So, i would like that there is a way to bring back weapon quality randomness but with a twist:
First of all, if you haven’t unlocked the +1 star of that weapon, you would get 100% of the time a base weapon, then after getting the +1 star unlocked, you would get 80% or 90% chance to get base weapon and 20 to 10% chance to get it with 1 star unlocked, then getting +2 unlocked makes it around 70% chance to get a base, 20 % chance to get a +1 and 10% chance to get a +2. Finally, if you have gotten the +3 unlocked, it would be around 60% chance to get a base weapon, 25% chance to get a +1, 10 % chance to get a +2 and 5% chance to get a maxed out weapon. What this would do would be:
1- It would give an incentive to wait until you have accessed to upgrade a weapon to +1,+2 and +3 before buying.
2- It makes getting weapons less costly overall with the chance to get a good one
I think it would be good to have it implemented like that
