What is the point of preset weapons?

[Felix]

Why should I spend 20 mil on a reskin of a weapon with limited mod slots?

In your PD life you will earn money. Lots of money. So much money you will have nothing to do with it.
Sink them into £20m guns.

unique skin and attachment combos (some may use attachments that costs C-stacks normally)

It's weird cause pre-release they described them as you being able to get them before you unlocked the actual weapon, like some sort of sneak peek of it that let you try it out and level it up before you unlock it. But because of how absurdly expensive they are, you're definetly unlocking the base weapons first so they might as well just be expensive skins.

The only gun that actually held true to that would be the SCAR as i haven't gotten to lvl 77 yet so i couldn't buy it and was forced to buy the preset version to test it out. Pretty impressed by it but i dont think i would ever bother getting a preset weapon when i can mod my own guns and customize the myself.

Except 85% percent of the preset guns are locked 60-100+ levels AFTER you get the default versions, the Ziv and R900s are bad guns anyway so that really only leaves the Scar as desirable.

So you can unlock the best gun in the game (SCAR) earlier, rest are kinda ♥♥♥♥ tbh but some look cool I guess.

Bruh, I got the scar first before having the money to buy the preset scar.
(Reach to level 77 first before getting 20 mil)
Tho I did bought c stacks

Yeah it's super strange. So far I've gotten the Scar unique weapon, and not only can you get it before the regular version, but if you use it, weapon progress is applied to the regular version.

In theory, when you eventually unlock the regular version you will be able to equip multiple attachments as you've already levelled the gun quite a bit via the unique one beforehand.

But yeah, super strange nonetheless, especially given that some uniques are unlocked AFTER the regular ones, and not vice versa. Curious to see where Overkill goes with this, like adding challenges or something else for uniques to make them more interesting

Adding Challenges to the "unique" Weapons would be a terrible Idea.

honestlyi have no idea what so ever, except maybe player that didn't grind challenges and thus have a lot of money but are not lvl77 would benefit? But theirs just not much reason for the rest of the guns other then kneecaping your ability to mod the gun in exchange for a skin?

[Nectarine]

its so you can have attachments for a weapon you're level 0 on and not have it completely suck! the preset levels up the standard weapon as well so you can use it to upgrade the original to a point where you want to use the original
