Here is an idea that I have been thinking over for some time, it is the concept of weapon upgrades. Perhaps you don't have enough cash for the next weapon up, or you don't have the stats, you could instead by upgrades that would marginally improve your existing weapons, instead of going for an entirely new weapon:

Like a Laser Aiming Module for Pistols/Rifles/SMGs/Shotguns that would give a very slight bonus to the likelyhood of a hit.

A Match-Grade Barrel or Armor-Piercing Rounds would give a slight increase to damage.

Or a Sharpened Diamond Edge for Axes/Swords/Daggers/Blades/Hammers that would give a slight bonus to damage with every hit.

A Balanced Grip or Gyroscopes for melee weapons that would also give a slight increase to the likelyhood of a hit.

These upgrades could be purchased by players, then installed on weapons by someone with a high engineering rank for job points.

If you put enough of these upgrades in the game people could personalize their weapons, ie: The Punisher's Pistol would be a very specific weapon belonging to him, and so on. It could be limited, so for example, only three upgrades per weapon or something, so there would be no abusing this to build god-like weapons. This would also allow people to compensate for their flaws. For example, if I do lots of damage but miss a lot, I could put upgrades on that increase the chance of a hit and vice versa. Please don't judge this idea too harshly.
