This could be due to the alpha state of the game but Jackfrags mentioned that in his closed viewing of the gameplay the gun plus changes were instant. I really hope there is some kind of balance to this through some kind of animation delay or other balance measures. This instant "Boom now you have an instant noob toob and red dot sight" completely does away with the tactical foresight and risk/reward decisions you need to make when selecting a load out. I was not a fan of the idea in the beginning and this makes me less of a fan of the idea. I guess we will see on Sunday but this just doesn't sound appealing at all. I hope I am pleasently surprised

Without seeing it work I don't like the idea at all, and especially if it's instant with no 'penalties' then it's gimmick that is not needed. Again not something I have ever seen anyone asking for

It's rather hard to believe there won't be some kind of menu which give a slight delay. Similar to attachment changes in PUBG.

@SeSSioN_ZA Sorry I should have stated this in my first comment. I do agree it takes time to open the inventory screen to change attachments, I'm just not sure it was designed this way intentionally by PUGB Corp. developers. I say that because one can change weapons (from the ground) with all equipped attachments currently with no loss or delay.The whole idea of this feature is a risk assessment, or two (million). I see how DICE might have came up with the idea (to give players more freedom), but I'm sure there are facts about how it functions I still know nothing about, so everything I think is per-speculation.I like the idea of being able to change attachments on the fly, it will just lead to more epic moments. I'm 100% percent sure it will also lead to people abusing it somehow lolDICE might have also done it to save points during gameplay to be honest over my first thought of freedom for the user and/ or both. A lot of new players like to die just to change gear, so this could also be a way to save tickets.

Animations contributed to making BF1 and especially BFV, less fun titles.I hope they will get rid of as many as possible.The only in battlefield moments are hamstrung by delays from exit animations

I wish more people would watch that video, he also talks about the specialist class that has the " the Karen's of Battlefield" up in arms.HOW DARE DICE MOVE FORWARD IN A FUTUISTIC GAME SETTING!!! amiright?

I reckon it would indeed be due to them playing a pre-alpha/alpha version without animations being added.

I take it you're talking about the Inventory screen? I myself wouldn't call that a delay at all, unless PUBG corp. changed something in the last week on Xbox.

@Popa2caps It's a disadvantage. Time spent looking at something else makes you vulnerable.

@Popa2caps Yeah going into inventory, swap out scope, closing inventory. What does that take a second, 2 seconds, more?

Though personally I think you have to live with the consequences of your set loadout, unless you die so you can change it before respawn...

@Popa2caps Yeah. For some reason, BF4 wouldn't "save" I played recon last round, switch me to assault between rounds, and that's pretty much a wasted ticket in my case
