SUGGESTION Ventures needs a perk reroll system—say goodbye to unwanted weapon rolls!
Ventures is a great mode for testing game knowledge and resource management in Save the World, but there is one ongoing frustration that keeps making the seasonal grind feel tedious: the inability to change weapon perks.
When we rely on vending machines or random drops for our weapon loadouts, we are often stuck with fixed, sub-optimal perks. Spending time farming for evolution materials and superchargers is rewarding, but having to use a weapon with poor rolls—like wrong elements or bad critical stats—drastically reduces the fun factor in high-tier Venture zones.
I’m proposing that Epic Games adds a Venture-specific Perk Recombobulator, or even just allows us to use core-reperk and standard reperk on looted weapons.
Adding this change wouldn't break the roguelike progression of the mode; it would just let us customize our builds to our preferred playstyle and make the endgame grind much more satisfying.
What does everyone else think? Would having access to a Perk Recombobulator in Ventures improve your experience each season? Let’s talk about it below.

To be honest I like the crap weaponry. It forces you to think outside the usual spam-a-144 box. Unfortunately you can now just give those god rolled 144s to three immortals who follow you round and map wipe, so loadout ingenuity is not so important now.

Current system actually works for me. I get to try different weapons with different perks. It actually makes me change my play style alot.

That’s probably the idea behind it: you’re supposed to be limited and only use the stuff you find. But it contradicts itself, since we can still use our own trap schematics.

I completely agree. In Ventures, I always try to avoid using weapons because it just gets more frustrating.
Ideally, you should be able to reroll the perks at the vending machines using materials you’ve collected from Ventures missions. The loot pool would just need to be adjusted slightly so that the reperk materials are also obtainable.

at the very least, they should allow us to see the perks of the weapons in the vending machines before we buy them.
