Seeing as the Ballistic Swap and Arena modes have different weapon presets that you can save, why not Loadout as well? This is especially useful when running different gametypes with Loadout, as more competitive gametypes like DM and TAM would benefit from more restricted Loadout settings to remove unbalanced weapons, while gametypes like Invasion need no such restrictions. I'd like to allow for therapeutic monster-mashing with the Minigun in Loadout Invasion while keeping the game balanced for Loadout TAM or DM, all in the same server.

That'll be good. If you can edit your preset packs in advance then you can have a short-range and sniper preset and switch between them alternatively so you can always change your mind without taking much time.

I support this idea! Sounds interesting.

Ah. I think there was some miscommunication here, but that idea is cool too.

What I meant was that in the BallisticV2.ini, you can make it so that only certain weapons can be placed in each slot in your server, which is useful if there's something there that you don't think belongs, like SMGs in the Sidearm slot or the Minigun and HVC in either of the primary and secondary slots.

The problem is, you'll have only one Loadout configuration for your whole server, so you can't have the Minigun available in Loadout for, say, Invasion, while unavailable for Deathmatch. I don't believe this is the case for non-Loadout gametypes, as you can have Ballistic Swap and Arena presets that you save and can switch to for different gametypes.

It would be nice, though, to have the feature I think you thought I was talking about. It would certainly be much easier to switch Loadouts if you could save multiple Loadout configurations and switch them on the fly with the mutate Loadout command.

Let's just add both ideas and be done with that! XD
