Once you reach level four in multiplayer, you’ll have access to custom loadouts, and the ability to manually equip, level and customise weapons via the Gunsmith.
The Gunsmith is a menu where you’ll be spending a lot of time should you desire to emphasise your playstyle and weapon choice with various enhancements.
To access this menu, go to the ‘Weapons’ tab on the main multiplayer menu, select the first option – ‘Multiplayer Loadout’ – and pick whichever loadout you want to customise the weapon of.
Once in the loadout screen, a selectable option will appear above either of the weapons you have equipped – select this to customise the weapon.
This will then take you to the Gunsmith screen, where you can pick and equip individual attachments for each part of the gun, up to a maximum of five.
Each weapon has its own attachment availability, with some weapons having their own bespoke attachments, such as Bolts on bolt-action rifles.
Initially, when a weapon is at level one, its attachment slots will be locked – as you use and increase its level, those slots will open up and allow you to swap in and out your desired attachments.
You can also swap out your equipped Receiver in the Gunsmith screen too, allowing you to change the weapon’s type between what’s available in its same Platform. (We have more on Platforms and Receivers in our how to unlock all weapons explainer.)
Bear in mind however that changing the Receiver may remove attachments which are not compatible with other Receivers – the game will notify you of this when browsing the other Receivers.
If a weapon cannot be customised with any attachments, it’ll instead take you to the ‘Customize’ tab, where you can customise your weapon with various weapon skins – known as camos – charms, stickers and more.
