Heya, I'm just here to tell you that I have a sort of unique idea that could be implemented to skins. I don't know if I'm the first to bring this up but here's the rundown. For the time being, I'm going to call them Sync Skins.

What the premise is, is if you have two or three specific Sync Skins, they play a unique animation if you switch between them. An example would be if the two Sync Skins were based on a 1800s Burmese Sword Carbine (which brought on this idea), and are applied on the Guardian (an early rifle skin) and Knife (a sword) respectively then switching between from the Guardian to Knife would play an animation of the player taking the Sword out of the Guardian. Switching it back to the Guardian would make the player sheathe the Sword back into the Guardian. This is just a basic example of my idea but the potential is there. It doesn't have to be a gun and a knife skin either, but hey if you have any extra ideas comment down below.

Well I hope you guys liked it!

TL;DR: Specific weapon skins play a unique animation if you switch between them.
