Hop-ups rework & discussion
Recently I've been thinking a lot about the hop-ups in the game and I don't know if it's just because I don't use any this season, but I feel like the system could use a change. I think things really...

@Peri_Longbow_plz @SheepsKing How would you feel about the idea of entirely removing hop ups as an attachment and just having said hop ups integrated into their respective weapons? With a little fine tuning where needed of course.
Asides from the turbocharger...most of the hop ups are just loot pool clutter to be honest.
@MandatoryIDtag I wouldn't want to add hop-ups to weapons since I think that would water down the effectiveness of the hop-ups. If I remember correctly, the Mozam can do 100 damage on flesh with Hammerpoint. That would be completely unbalanced if it were just a feature on the weapon. I'm sure they could change it to be more fair, but I doubt it would be as fun that way either. Taking things out of the loot pool is a slippery slope, but hop-ups have always been tedious to loot. Some hop-ups like Hammerpoint, and Turbocharger have the power to make weak or underwhelming guns competitivly viable, and so it isn't that great having them be so ilusive. I'd say put them all in replicators, and buff Loba's ultimate so that it players can collect the crafting materials in the area.
@SheepsKing I agree completely, that's what I meant by fine tuning. A 6 shot hammerpoint mozambique would instantly be CQC meta, wouldn't be a fun experience to play against.
I just personally feel that what they did with the precision chokes was a good step, the same could easily be done with the likes of tempo, selectfire and even shattercaps ( although I would attach them to the repeater solely, pointless on the bow).
I do think respawn are quite fond of the hop up concept though so it's not like this will ever come to pass I suppose.
