Newcomer / Intro How To Unequip A Weapon?

Greasetrap42 · Mar 15, 2023

Is there any method to unequip (remove) a weapon from a suit loadout such that I'm not carrying a weapon?

Other than creating a new suit loadout and don't add any weapons.

I think there is not. Creating a new loadout with no weapons would be the way.

This is almost as bad as not being able to remove a mod from a weapon.

Maybe half as bad, loadouts are just lists of items to wear and carry not actual items that cost us credits.

Have you tried equipping a cheap gun and selling it?

This looks to be the answer, alas.

I have eight, indluding the default. Any more would, as you allude to, drive me nuts. Not sure why they didn't create a "null" entry for a slot - they can do it with cosmetics. Ah well...

I'm still an advocate of mod swapping though

you can still delete the obsolete loadouts
at least the suits retain the applied cosmetics

Although I have never tried to remove a weapon from a load out, I’m shaking my head. There are so many examples of crappy coding, it boggles my mind. The menu interface(s) are in general really awful.

Im shaking my head.. How are game design choices crappy coding? It boggles my mind

I'd say it's more inconsistent than crappy. If they can do the "none' thing in livery, they ought to be to apply the "none" thing here too. Just a wee lack of polish IMO.

There are more significant areas where some optimisation could be applied. Like having your ship recall to you at a sensible distance on level ground... Instead of 2KM away on a load of rocks that block the egress point

This is nothing compared to powerpants. Remember that? If there was a crappy power invading your system and you wanted to get rid of them, what could you do? Join a power to undermine the first power - even if you didn't want anything to do with powers in the first place. It was just assumed that you would find the whole thing so wonderful you couldn't possibly want to oppose all of it.
