"Scrap On The Go"

[NightowlXLII]

I've been thinking it doesn't make sense, all these work bench locations spread throughout an awesome map and im never able to use any of them on the go, I thought it was a bummer having to offload all my junk to get scrap to build with, how cool would it be to be halfway through a stonghold and decide oh hey "I want to switch my sniper rifle to a cqb setup!"

 

If there was a "Field Deconstruction Kit" or something that would let you scrap junk items / weapons / armor on the go you would usually have enough to do whatever mods you wanted on the go, and offload as you usually would anyway. I don't feel this would mess up immersion too much because you can deconstruct a great many things with nothing but a screwdriver and a crescent wrench and a boxcutter.

 

Not sure if it would be possible, I know there are constraints without GECK, but I wanted to throw the penny in the pond. Good day people!

The short term solution is to carry all the cqb mods for your rifle on your person when you get to one of those mid-mission benches.

 

Also, there's a deployable workbench mod already, so I don't think having a deployable anything else should be too hard.

 

I imagine it could work like so:

Activating the deconstruction kit could offer 3 options (Armor, Weapons, Exit) Choosing of the first two could open a limited modding UI on your armors or weapons respectively, allowing you to swap mods you have on hand or deconstruct the item, the third would simply close the dialogue.

I've done the carry the mod thing and it works ok, but in reality you would be able to swap your pieces in your bag on the go, when i first got into the game i thought it would have worked that way since you could carry the mods on your person but i discovered quickly the action was locked to workbenches and its kind of bugged me on and off, found this forum so i figured it couldnt hurt to see about looking into it, your idea is pretty much spot on what i would be looking for, just hope it would be possible to create, i think itd be a popular thing, not a cheat-level mod by any means and makes it easier to carry less weapons if you can change your set up in the field.
