Bow Kid in single player

[Phatness]

Am I the only one who is a little disapointed you can't play as bow kid in single player, i really hope gears releases a small update to allow you to switch to her, or if nothing else maybe someone will make a mod to allow you to swap them

[Uncle Badass]

Agreed.

[Wonnray]

There should at least be a mod or something

[snoopeebaron]

Maybe one day that will happen. But I ain't doing it.

[Etheru]

I'm expecting a "Be Bow Kid!" mod within a week or so.

[Phatness]

honestly i'm just hoping my post at the very least will give somebody an idea to make a mod for it, even if gears never does it themselves

[brickey.8]

I was definitely hoping for it, but wasn't entirely surprised that you can't. Definitely someone will mod it in though.

Maybe it could be like that Mustache Girl mod where you can switch as her, and when you don't, she just gets to hang out on the ship~

I am also very surprised that she is not already playable in single player. I mean, it seems obvious that there'd be a lot of people who'd want that and it doesn't make much sense that they didn't see that coming. I hope they add a way to switch to her, preferrably by approaching her in the spaceship. If the devs are listening to all of the fans that want it, I'd like to see it as an official in-game update rather than a mod. I mean, I get why playable Mustache GIrl would need to be a mod, but for Bow Kid it really feels like it should've been an in-game feature, or atleast an unlockable.

We need not only this, but Bow versions of every Hat, too.

[whodatninja]

i hope for a mod like with Mustache Girl

[Rezilia]

This could also be a solution to the "solo" issue for the co-op achievement if the achievement was changed to say "Play As Bow Kid" that way whether you play singleplayer as her or do co-op, you still get the achievement.

An in-house Bow/Hat swap would be pecking neat to see, yeah.

Failing that, though? Mods, dear boy.

There's a mod that allows you to switch Hat Kid's and Bow Kid's costumes. It's not a full-on character swap, but it's the closest we'll get until a feature is implemented or a mod is made to allow you to play as Bow Kid in singleplayer. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1520099053&searchtext=

I think the reason they would not do it AT FIRST is because if you're able to play as just Bow Kid, you'd need to have special dialog to fit her. Example: Replacing all instances of Hat Girl with Bow Girl, Little Girl with Hat with Little Girl with Bow, etc. That also requires re-recording all character dialog to fit her character, because it would be odd if they called her Hat Kid and you're obviously playing as Bow Kid.
