I doubt a single conversation with 2 external people about breakneck brought about the decision to give weapons a shelf life? It was just highlighting that players don't feel the need to switch up loadouts much beyond a few select weapons and that variety/choice is not flourishing. They have data on every player, loadouts, weapons, armour and what's used & how it performs in all activities. How they handle it is key and if they bring a slew of new weapons that perform well and engage the player it could be a good change and bring some variety. If not they can always revert back and allow weapons to be infused & used again.
