Thread: Funny looking DL44 XT crafted last night...any suggestions?

I crafted a DL44 XT last night and decided to add a scope to the build just for grins and the pistol I made came out with a black barrel added to the silver barrel normally apparent on the weapon...looks like a barrel extension, and the scope got included into the body of the weapon, so it looks like a tactical laser sight or something. The scope also came out black in appearance. I thought it was very strange. Any one else ever have this problem? I think the black barrel and scope would look cool if they were in the proper spots, as it is the weapon looks pretty ugly, although it truned out pretty well.


I'm at work now so I dont have a screenie, I'll post one when I get home tonight.


Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

When using the last barrel/scope in a crate it will come out strange. Its a known bug that dates back to before CU where you were able to costumize your weapon this way.

I recently was making a run of FWG5's and Featherweights using some reinforced casings and only one of the pistols in the run ended up with a scope on top of the FWG5! It actually looks pretty sweet hehe.


Why'd they remove the ability to customize weapons like we used to anyway?

They removed ti a while ago. Want to say around the time FS village came about so...pub 15ish?

They removed it with CU. Their reason was that it wasnt working with the new system

They broke it and are too lazy to fix it. They did not even bother to disable it, it's just borked.

Knew it was when something big came out....but even when we had the little customization we had it was pretty pathetic. I didnt even notice I guess

It seems to do this also if you make a prototype scope or barrel rather than takin gone from a crate. I havesome funky D18's lying around.

I've use one of these DL44XT's crafted from a pre nerf BH loot scope. I think it looks quite interesting the way all those strange pieces jutt out everywhere.

You will always see this in a dl44xt if you use the Last item in a crate, or pull an item from a crate 1st, or have a stand-alone item you just made. There are a few other guns that get extended barrels and strange scope positions as well. I know I have done it a few times on those and on the e11 mark II. I really like the "Dirty Harry" extended barrel though on the dl44xt lol.

Thanks for all the input all. Sorry I didn't get a chance to post a screenie yet, but the Patriots were playing last night, so ya know I was ready for some Football!!


Anyway, the scope and barrel were made at the station and not drawn from factory crates so I couldn't blame that as the reason, but it is nice information to have for future crafts. And my only real complaint is the location of the scope, I think the barrel extension looks pretty sweet, and adds a bit of a custom feel to the weapon. But, the scope in the weapon body is just plain funky looking and pretty ugly if you ask me.


Thanks again for all the info, and I gues I'll chalk it up to experience gained and keep on crafting!


Any idea when we may be able to actually make custom additions to weapons appearance? Sorry if this is a long debated topic in the WS community, but I do think it would be cool and give weapons a 'unique' look that could kind of 'mark' weapons from individual WS.


Still new to WS, but loving it, and the community even more.


Cheers
