Add Modular Character Customization

Under considerationby Ender · 31 Aug

Allow players to customize individual parts of their operator instead of selecting only complete character skins. Customization options could include separate choices for the head, torso, arms, and legs, allowing players to combine compatible clothing and equipment while avoiding visual clipping. The selected operator and outfit should also be accurately reflected in first person, particularly the character’s arms and gloves, to maintain consistency and immersion.

    It would be really cool if you guys added a Gear Modification System for equipment such as vests, helmets, and headsets. Players could customize different attributes like chest protection, head protection, mobility, and even hearing/audio perception. The bonuses or penalties wouldn't need to be huge, but they could be enough to encourage different playstyles and builds. For example: Lightweight build: less protection, but better movement and agility. Recon build: better hearing/audio perception and mobility, but weaker protection. Heavy build: stronger protection at the cost of movement speed and maybe hearing (in case of Heavy Helmets) Balanced build: moderate protection and mobility. It could add a lot more depth to the equipment system while still keeping the differences relatively small, so the game doesn't become pay-to-win or overly dependent on a specific meta. I think being able to create your own gear setup around your preferred playstyle would fit Bodycam really well.

    be aware that there is way more stuff that is important before this kind of depth gets added into gear but id love to give gear use and room to optimize it. Example: customizing your platecarrier but the pouch placement would slow you down if it didnt make sense. if you have your pistol in the right hand and you grab a magazine with your left hand it should be quicker if the pistol pouch is placed on the left side of the platecarrier.

    After the Core Features are implemented, please add a custom Player Character (mostly Skincolor/ tattoos / glasses / ... Aswell as adding skins for the gearset that the model is wearing. like a different skin for a chestplate or trousers/shoes/helmet, so we can wear maybe forest camo trousers but a desert camo chestplate (you get it). If you dont want to create your own skin or use it, you always can use the Skins that are currently in the Game (with the Player Model)

    This is a suggestion to re-add the old modular customization system for operators seen in the early days of the game. This will allow for a much more diverse set of player personality, as well as ensuring no two people look alike. This could also have the ability to carry over certain cosmetics from former operator packs if it isn't difficult to add.

    Loved when you could customize everything down the boots, gloves, plate carriers, shirts pants, helmets, and was so upset when it was totally changed

  • Okay_Fish703 Sept

    Full customization for operators, with additional accessories. Any skins that were purchased would have their own separate cosmetics for those who wish to mix and match their attire.

    Just adding to what Fininho said. the weapon customization system UI is cool and would be a good start for something like the character too. also is mutable being used in the project for the weapons as I am aware this is using unreal engine or are they doing a different system for that? They already have the current operator skins that could be broken into parts that use the same skeleton that mutable can recombine the pieces to create the customized character. I have some experience using this system to make my own custom characters, but not sure if they are as I am not sure what the performance cost of the system would be like in a package project yet.

    y'all had a unique customization system that set your game apart from other FPS's. removing it was akin to taking 10 steps backwards.

  • Jaja04 Sept

    I thiink we could find a middle ground of operator skins still being purchasable but you can equip pieces of it like Helmet, mask, shirt, vest, pants, boots, and gloves. I personally wouldnt mind just a tiny bit of clipping for wayy better customization

    Greetings, I have previously brought this up on the sub-Reddit, but I would greatly appreciate it if the operator customization feature could be reinstated, allowing us to unlock cosmetic items for our player characters in addition to gun loadouts. Shirts, pants, hats, gloves, watches, bracelets, eyewear, helmets etc. Additionally, providing each player with a GoPro attached to their player model would enhance the concept of the 'bodycam' perspective.

  • Sniperman110907 Sept

    I love the new update and how much you can customize your weapons, you went all out on the guns but took away the operator customization two or three updates ago. I hope you sincerely go back to that system. That way every operator is different with interchangeable armor pieces and we don’t see the same skin over and over on the map. Plus it gives more creativity to the players and that’s always a plus.

  • Danila09 Sept

    There are quite a few shooter videogames in which players are offered the opportunity to customize their operator: to choose helmet models, body armor, loadouts, clothing, etc. It would be great if bodycam also added this feature, so that you could customize your operator with the same attention to detail as you do your loadouts.

  • Yamr311 Sept

    I think the solution to customization could be unlocking and paying for skins. Once the base skin is unlocked, you can then customize and mix and match skins and gear from other outfits. I think that my suggestion works for both the business and customers. https://youtube.com/shorts/U8cnY25P6WQ?si=zcTOm9AqmmBBY_bC So, essentially, buy the outfit / unlock the outfit with reissed points -> Customize and mix and match with other gear.

    i cant seem to purchase any operators or customize my character, this feature would be amazing , also dont know if its a bug or what but it just says purchase (NA)

  • Name17 Sept

    It was just better, its like the weapon customisation being able to make something (or in this case someone) customised to your liking is peak and it should be brought back and ik some people bought skins and grinded for them (i included) but i'd even think that those people would agree old customisation was better and you could always keep the preset ones and add a "custom skin" and then go from there or also just give those players like 20,000 R-points or something
