Do you want to give folks an early description of what players can expect for the weapon attachment UI [coming in 3.9]?

TL;DRThe weapon attachment UI brings the weapon up in front of the player so they can swap sights, barrel or under-barrel attachments and inspect it, including outside stores.

Yeah, basically we've got certain attachments that you can add, and it'll just bring up the weapon in front of your face, and then at that point in time you can choose: all right, do I change out the sights, or do I add something on the barrel or under barrel? So really, we want to make sure that we're showing off the weapon, as well as that the player gets that tactile experience of switching things out.

Yeah, when I was talking about when it looked cool, I realized that I was actually talking about the weapon attachment UI. Not that this doesn't look cool, with the radial and stuff like that, but pulling up the weapon and then watching where the attachments would go and swapping them out is really cool.

Yeah, well, I think the weapon team has done a fantastic job over the years building in a lot of detail and a lot of things that the player a lot of times just won't experience when it's only on this side of the screen. But obviously now you can actually look at it and you can really inspect it. I mean, you could inspect it in stores before, but now you can actually show it off outside of stores.
