Each weapon in every category comes with customization options through "pre-set Loadouts."

"Most weapons will allow you to equip bayonets or alter their handling, as well as changing your weapons sights' magnification," the lead weapon designer added.

The game's weapons will be divided into six categories such as SMGs, shotguns, semi-automatics, sniper rifles and side-arms.
