New Battlefield Game Gun Customization Is Like COD”s Gunsmith But With a Cool Twist
[summaraize]
While gun customization has been present in Battlefield games before, the new entry in the franchise will feature a more robust way of doing it, which should give players more freedom in how they want to use their weapon in matches.
Based on playtesters in Battlefield Labs, the new system is similar to Call of Duty’s Gunsmith, which was introduced in Modern Warfare 2019, but DICE has added its own spin.
New Battlefield Game’s Gun Customization Will Use a Point System

Participants of the Battlefield Labs playtest have shared that the new Battlefield game’s gun customization is “almost as robust as Modern Warfare 2019,” though players won’t be able to create “Frankenstein builds,” which we assume are gun builds in Call of Duty that are just weird creations that don’t make sense outside of a game.
The image above comes from video game leaker bob, who confirmed that in the current build of BF Labs, which is the new Battlefield game, players have 100 credits’ worth of attachments to use, and 60 credits for pistols.
In the leaked image, you can see how the credits are allocated. Gun attachments like the magazine are worth just five credits, while something like the muzzle is worth 30. This is most likely made for game balance to ensure that gun customization can’t be used to have laser-like guns (at least I’m assuming so).
Bear in mind, Battlefield Labs is currently in pre-alpha, which means nothing in the game has been deemed final. While we don’t see this gun customization feature change for the final version of the new Battlefield game, don’t be surprised if it does. DICE is testing a lot of things and if they don’t like how something is, expect it to be changed.
Speaking of which, DICE is currently testing it where all classes can access all weapon types, which some people in the community don’t like. DICE explained their reasoning behind it, which makes a lot of sense.
The new Battlefield game will be revealed sometime this summer, which we’re assuming will be in June.
