#Why No Black Paint

Why isn't there an actual Black Paint among all of the Cosmetics DLCs?

We buy the weapon packs, some buy the cosmetics, and there are 50 shades of gray. For years we thought EW was holding out a good matte-black paint as a selling point for a future Cosmetics DLC - so where is it? The Future is Now.

Tired of paying $6 for new weapons and trying to find a blotchy gray paint that can pass for black.

Please put out a Black Paint, maybe as a Halloween freebee 🖤

Woah 50 shades of gray, what kind of hunting game is this 😂

Funny thing is we actually had a nice matte black option when they first released customization

Then they changed it to gray

The paint is what's at issue - what did you put on the tube of the new .257? Not confetti

Its a material from Easter. It only covers the one slot tho

Matte black as a paint option. No weird shine. No Black 3.0. Just a regular color spray

Textured matte, if you need a color reference in particular I highly recommend Cerakote

#

Super Grip Black, SG100

I got a 1911 with the slide and frame being coated with the oven cured version now (SG200)

#

Exactly, nothing particularly fancy or difficult, hopefully not difficult to implement at least.

Hopefully it'll come with a couple extra color areas because oh dear God that muzzlebrake on the .300 CM triggers my OCD in the absolute worst way

Certain weapon parts like Trigger Guards, Sights, and End Caps can only be skinned with Paint - Materials like the Metal Barrels and Woodgrains can't be applied. This is the darkest Paint color available: Hirschfeldon Dark Grey Paint. It might look blackish in the menu, but once it's applied it's a blotchy gray - we want a blotchy black

#

On the new Frost .257 the tube under the forend-slide gets the paint in the Part 3 slot. This thing looks great in Woodgrain and Metal, until I see the blotchy gray tube while reloading out in the sunlight - it just looks Meh

The worst small part is the swivel stud on the tip of the Nordin's mag tube (drives me insane, can't even use the gun without thinking about it)

The shiny muzzle brake on the 300 drives me crazy, let me paint it please.

Which is worse: Grizzly model or shiny muzzle or broken doggo - this pic has it all

There's a Paint color that matches every Metal for the barrels, except Black. The Ranger .243 (3rd down) has a rich Sand-colored Paint matching the Sand Metal barrel - we need that in Black to match the Nitride Metal

Compare the Ranger with Sand Paint and Sand Metal vs Dark Grey Paint and Black Nitride Metal

#

I rest my case. 😄

Ah Bollocks i never got it, i don't hunt small game in this game because of how badly the devs did small game

#

But I don't have the game open to check, but you can see it in the menu even if you can't equip it

#

the only black metal i see in the "materials" is the carbon one

Black Paint would have fit nicely in this Community Challenge
