    I'd love this, but my guess would be performance issues. Consoles can already dip into single-digit FPS.

    There is a graphical update coming though. Maybe sometime after that, they can work on weather effects.

    It would be amazing if they found a way to do it without performance taking a hit. It would add a nice variety to the maps.

    There’s rain in Red Forest, snow in Ormond & Lerys and fog on practically all maps.

    But yeah I get your point, falling snow & heavy rain would be nice but would probably ruin the frame rate.

    Excellent idea, although i'm sure this has already occurred to devs, but i guess they didn't because of FPS issues

    If they can get the optimization up for it, it could be pretty neat for some RNG weather cycles to be added to maps (such as a temporary blizzard on Ormond, heavier rain on Red Forest, smog on Autohaven, or smoke on Coldwind). Have them randomly occur in a match, be temporary, and go on some sort of minimum cooldown before they can occur again.

    Would certainly help to make the maps gloomier. Could also provide some interesting new dynamics to chases: such as these weather effects reducing visibility and aura brightness, but making scratch marks brighter + longer-lasting and breathing/injuries louder for the duration of the storm.

    Although I highly doubt it, it would be great if this was a feature they added with the graphics update. Just imagine something like Coldwind where it's darker and there is a lightning storm going on. If anything, I at least hope they make whatever weather we already have look much better.

    I really wish we had dynamic weather effects to where it had an impact on game play. Using the cover to hide better or sneak up on survivors for example.

    What we currently have in game is nice but barely even noticeable.

    Heck, even some offerings for weather would be cool. We'd probably run into the same issue that the old moonlight offerings had though.
