Gears Tactics' weapon mods, skills, and customization must come to Gears 6

Gears Tactics is a huge step up from other Gears games in terms of customization. And we want to see that ethos inform the inevitable Gears of War 6.

Recently, we got to check out Gears Tactics, which is quite easily the "deepest" Gears of War yet. Why? Namely in customization, allowing players to fully customize their troops loadouts, skills, and weaponry to change up your playstyle.
