I hope what they do is have some traits be static for each weapon and some be rolled. I feel like each named weapon needs more than what D1 had to be consistent from drop to drop.

The obvious fix would have been the weapon variants, so that you'd have multiple rolls per weapon.

Halfdan-D, for example, is a lousy Auto Rifle.
You could have a Halfdan-A that has High Caliber Rounds and Moving Target perks. That weapon would wreck!
But some might like the Halfdan-B, or C, or...

This has been my vision for weapon rolls... you could have a plenty of weapon rolls this way, but the weapon names would have meaning (tho' I prefer having fewer variants, I don't have time to chase the god-roll/drop). If they must exist I see this as the better way.
