A minor issue, yes, but still a nuisance. However, upon starting a new game, all of our attachments reset to the default settings. Our M5A3s maintained the same attachments between lives, but our AKs reset after every death. We noticed several inconsistencies with saving attachments. However, there are a few things that need tweaking with this mechanic. While swapping out under-barrel attachments mid-gunfight feels a bit unrealistic, we aren’t complaining. Previously, we imagined attachment swapping was something you could only do outside of combat, per the elevator scene in the gameplay trailer. What’s even better is the ability to swap under fire. Using the face buttons (X, Square, Triangle, and Circle on PlayStation) to swap attachments feels like memorizing a series of button commands for your ideal weapon based on the situation. You may elect for long-rang optimization while moving between objectives while outfitting your weapons for close-quarters combat upon arrival. Swapping attachments at any time adds an exciting layer of strategy between gunfights. Instead of swapping out new attachments before your spawn, players can swap their barrel, optic, ammo type, and under-barrel attachments at any time.
