The Backpack System in WW3 is, at it's core, a generally good addition to the game that comes off half baked when you look at how almost everything works in it. Segregated Weapon Attachments, no clear indication of what attachments can be placed on what weapons, the fact that it contradicts the Weapon slot system, and more. In my opinion, it needs to be overhauled at some point. What I would suggest is the following-

Key Changes

  • Move every Attachment & Gadget in the Backpack System over to the main Weapon Customization Branch and add additional categories if needed.
  • Limit the Backpack to a max Carry Capacity of 5 or 6 Items of a Player's choosing (Aka Carry Capacity Slots.)
  • Every Item in the Backpack takes up 1 Carry Capacity Slot.

What Items can a Player choose?

  • Weapons - Players can choose whatever attachments they want that their Primary & Secondary Weapons have access to. However, they can only take one from each category of attachments (EG: 1 High Mag Scope, 1 Magazine option, 1 Secondary Ammunition, etc.) Secondary Ammunition should count as 2 Secondary Magazines should they choose to have both the Secondary Ammunition Slot & Backpack Carry Capacity Slot filled with a Secondary Ammunition option.
  • ** Armors** - Players can choose to bring spare Body & Head Armor of the same type they currently have equipped.
  • Secondary Gadgets - Players can choose whatever combination of Secondary Gadgets they want, choosing the same Secondary Gadget as is selected outside of the backpack should provide 1 additional of that Secondary Gadget (EG: You get 3 Frag Grenades if you choose Frag Grenades for both your Secondary Gadget slot & one of your Backpack Carry Capacity slots.)

What this change ultimately brings

  • Doing this will make the Backpack System more integral to the Player's loadout.
  • Makes WW3's Backpack system more unique.
  • Solves all the old problems (maybe create new problems as well though mind you.)
  • Gives Players more immediate customization options with their Weapons (if they already unlocked the stuff anyways.)
  • Gives Players more customization combos for their Loadouts currently.
  • Gives Players more customization combos in the future compared to the current Backpack System.
  • Creates a more flexible space for any future expansions to the system

Overall my goal was to propose a system concept that was a little more expansive than what we currently have. But, nothing massively radically different (though I could be wrong as well in the grand scheme of things.)

What keeps us playing games is the freedom to choose - the more limited we are, the faster the game becomes boring but that doesn't mean authenticity is irrelevant the legendary titles combine the perfect balance of both .
Many people suggest what 64 is a dumb number suggest , i hope that with the new staff at least some stuff will at least be considered ( thumb up from me of course ) ...

A friendly reminder to the Developers that in the future it would be beneficial to overhaul the Backpack system, this way it can serve a greater purpose while removing the flaws the system currently has with it. With what I have suggested, the system becomes more integral to the Player's loadout, makes it more unique to WW3, and ultimately adds more flexible space for any future expansions to the system along with more immediate customization options & combos than what we currently have.

Friendly reminder to the Developers that the future of the Backpack System in WW3 could use a overhaul at some point. This way it can serve a greater purpose in game while potentially removing it's current flaws and making it more impactful for a Player's loadout rather than something that can be easily ignored.
