Tier 3 Lockdown - Arsenal Station or no limit weapon changing

So. I have 47 PVP loadouts.
Why you ask? Because I use skolver, gunner gear, hybrid of the two and a whole whack of different weapon combinations for the armor sets.

Can we make it so there is:

a) no limit on Tier 3 lockdown in terms of changing their weapons the locker rooms

b) an arsenal station in the locker rooms for Tier 3 lockdown.

Is this easy to do without breaking Tier 2 or Tier 1?

EDIT:

Okay, I'll rephrase the suggestion to make it more beneficial:

1) There are times when people want to do fun things in lockdown, like "Let's all use brandish charges, or let's test out catalyzers, or no trinkets" or something. For people without a loadout with that weapon, they would need to leave and come back. If not the whole group, then a few friends who want to change things up.

2) People may start discussing a specific weapon in game, and that will inspire someone to want to try it out, or a combination of weapons. Again, they would need to leave and come back.

3) You can already change loadouts, so changing specific weapons isn't a big deal in terms of "fairness and balance of ld"

4) The purpose of the loadouts is fairness for Tier 1 and 2 lockdown. By un-marking all loadouts of a higher tier, you can ensure that all players in Tier 2 or 1 lockdown are not using weapons that would be unfair. Tier 3 does not need this limitation since all weapons are eligible to be used.

Therefore, please enable it so that we can freely change weapons in the locker room and by-pass the need to exit and come back.

Do they let you change equipment while in the middle of a floor in the Clockworks? No. Should they make Lockdown so everyone can change their loadout whenever they want and it becomes a game of using a loadout to counter the other team before they can counter yours? No. Does anyone care that you as an individual have fourty-seven loadouts? No. Does my opinion matter in this context? No. Am I using personal opinion to answer the questions I create in this post? No. Should Three Rings cater to a small minority of players without any benefit to anyone else while giving the minority an advantage? No. Would it matter because it only applies to Lockdown? Yes. Why do I have so many questions? Because you are a head crab zombie.

While I agree with Lug, having loadouts that one can instantaneously change into in LD does feel like it defeats the purpose of no arsenal...

@Luguiru

well the equip would only be changed in the locker room, as it currently stands for loadouts.

I've seen ppl leave to equip different loadouts, but that means they leave their current rotation and may not join them again. This could be annoying if you're playing with friends.

The 47 loadout thing was for context. There's no limit to the # of loadouts, so there isn't really a huge "barrier" to having "counter-loadouts", why not do away with that and just let people equip different weapons and armors.
Relating the changing equip in clockworks doesn't make sense because in lockdown you can change loadouts, which is essentially the same thing as changing weapons.

And FYI, While your question-answer thing started off funny, it got kind of annyoing after a while. Overall, your post didn't offer much insight to the matter, except to point out that I need to explain the suggestion more.

+1 this. If I want to break out the MBB (note to self: UPGRADE TO NITRO ASAP!) in Lockdown as opposed to my DR, I shouldn't have to make an entirely new Loadout.
