Fans want GTA 6 story mode with customizable weapon scopes like newer Far Cry games

Posts from the gta6 community on Reddit

As can be seen above, KvasirTheOld shared the idea of having customizable weapons in the story mode for GTA 6. Comparing the feature to that of the Far Cry series, they emphasized the need for different weapon scopes to enhance the single-player experience. Here’s what they said in the post:

“Being able to add a red dot, a 2× or a 4× scope to any weapons we want would be great. Gta 5 had only one generic scope for most weapons while others didn't have scope options at all. Being able to interchange scopes between all weapons would be great.”

Some fans jumped into the discussion and expressed their interest in the feature. User LoneGunner1898 supported the idea of having customized weapons in GTA 6 and claimed that it is on their wishlist:

Players should note that while Grand Theft Auto 5 story mode doesn’t have the feature, its online counterpart, Grand Theft Auto Online, experimented with it via Mk II upgrades for some weapons. It will be nice to see weapons with some customization in the next game's story mode, too, as it would give players a better chance to eliminate targets.
