I don't follow, nothing is preventing you from using it. What exactly is the problem?

(It's not a mockery, I am just pointing that if something exists, there should be reason for this :)
Usually justification of a weapon's inclusion to the pack involves Sgt. Kelly and I keeping interest in a relatively unique idea long enough for one of us to actually make it and put it in game.

Wouldn't wanting to have a randomly selected weapon be enough? There's no reason to make it an option every player would have interest in.

If you want a change of pace or to challenge yourself or explore more weapons, choose random. Otherwise stick with your preferred weapons.

That explains everything. Of cause options for selected players should make the game more popular and interesting. Sorry not to see that earlier.

The problem here is mostly down to a misunderstanding. I did not add random with the intention of making a viable option for serious play. I added it because I was requested to. No other reason.

It is very clear whether or not a player is using random. I don't see the point of a) pushing a notification or b) having kill messages report Random usage. I don't support a random chance of KS weaponry because someone is almost certainly going to luck out with it in an extremely annoying way and I see no reason why you should get adrenaline bonuses for Random when adren is so powerful. The ONLY thing I support is automatic EFR if both your main weapon slots are random.
