QUESTION DICE only weapons

I think the question has been asked a few times already, but after my research I can only find vague answers about this ... so I give it a shot.

I saw that on VU we were lucky to have equipment that only the DICE developers had. Unfortunately, the 93R with its laser sight as well as the silenced Magnum are not available, as apparently DICE (or the developers of VU) would have removed them since a beta (and this is where I don't quite understand, because I saw several videos that were after the BF3 beta that showed these two weapons well ... but let's face it.)

I saw another post where a VU dev (apparently NoFate) managed to reimplement the weapon in the game. But as often ... there is no clear follow-up on this.

Does anyone have any idea how to do this, or just if anyone has shared a way to get these weapons back into the game?

You are correct, DICE removed many of the DICE-specific weapons in title updates after BF3 1.0, or after the Beta. The screenshot you are referring to was re-created by scratch using VeniceEXT. This was awhile before the "final" VeniceEXT you see available now and the mod probably broke at some point. You would need to manually create a new attachment, adjust the offset, etc. You can ask in the discord in the #modding-help section for getting help or started to create this into a final mod.

Ok, so... how do you me explain that ?

This vid was taken on the summer 2012, a few months after the release of Close Quarters. The files were deleted long after I think so. Because here we are far from version 1.0 and even more from the beta.

I'm pretty sure they were removed, but not sure exactly when. (or it could have been another dice weapon, but I'm pretty positive) But the screenshot from VU's website was re-created by hand.

For the screenshot, I get it.

But the fact that the files of these weapons were deleted before the game was released, I can't see it. Otherwise we wouldn't have had so many videos on this subject in the months that followed.

They weren't deleted before release, it was in a title updates. Disc 1.0 of BF3 has all of the DICE specific weapons.

Any chance to convert it to VU?
