Ignition Entertainment have lifted the veil on the weapon customization system for Blacklight: Tango Down, a multiplayer FPS being developed by Zombie Studios.

Ignition boasts “trillions” of weapon configurations available via the system, so those who love tweaking their hardware to the utmost have something to get lost in. Those who just wanna start shooting without all that mucking about can also choose from a few preset configurations.

The company also prides itself on the game being firmly rooted in reality. All the weapons in-game are based on the actual hardware soldiers have been using since the ’60s. Here’s a quick look at how customization goes:

The system revolves around utilizing one of five core weapons receivers — such as an SMG or Shotgun – as a base and then customizing that base with modified barrels, stocks, and weapons tags to increase the effectiveness of the weapon through increased accuracy, faster running speed, and a decrease in weapon kickback.

 

Gamers are going to have to decide how to modify the weapon and how much as they choose from a staggering 152 million different primary weapon combinations, 157,248 secondary weapon combinations, and 312 character model/camouflage combinations.

Blacklight: Tango Down is set for release this summer on PC, XBLA, and PSN.
