If you look at the game from the xbox one store or through xbox store online it clearly states: 

 

KEY FEATURES • 26 unique mechs in 3 classes Determine your method of mass destruction. Pilot lightweight assassin-like mechs or wade into the thick of action with heavy bruiser mechs. Every mech is unique and can be tailored to fill a variety of distinctive roles on the battlefield.

 

 

Exceptional customization Arm your mech with massive sniper rifles, powerful cannons, explosive rocket launchers, and much, much more. Select from among a wide array of upgrades, enhancements, consumables, and cosmetics

 

I've played the game for several hours and there is no weapon customization very little actual mech customization in items or much of anything else for that matter.

Your game description needs to be updated.

That original blurb was tailored off of the PC version and was listed during the beta back then it was still about customizations. They should have changed it. But it does not fall under the false advertising. As it could be argued that the visual customizations still qualify.

I would say that it is false advertisement, "Exceptional customization Arm your mech with massive sniper rifles, powerful cannons, explosive rocket launchers, and much, much more. Select from among a wide array of upgrades, enhancements, consumables, and cosmetics."  Clearly state that I should be able to  change out the consumables and enhancements on any mech, not change the mech to get a new layout.  It would be like a store tag showing a price of $100 for a computer, and when it rings up be a $1000, and the cashier saying, well, it does not fall under false advertising, as it could be argued that there still is a 100 in the price.

Or better yet, a pizza place that says  "Exceptional customization Top your Pizza with Spicy Pepperoni, powerful Onions, Ground up burger, and much, much more. Select from among a wide array of upgrades,  Taste enhancements, cheeses, and Look of crust.

 

However you go  to order a pizza and the only way to get a pizza with Pepperoni, Bacon, and Onion, is to get a supreme pizza that comes with green peppers, onions, hamburger, and black olives.  However, you can tell us if you want a lightly browned, really brown, or burnt crust.   I would say false advertising.

Just to say it: I'm also missing the costomization features now.

On PC (before steam) the game was awesome.

You got your "base" mech, then you bought some guns, some items and power-ups and build it all together for your personal mech, which kicked all that a$$es.

The only way to get new weapons on xbox is to buy a pre-configured mech :sad:

Therefor you must follow this nonsense mech-tree, so you must buy 4-6 mechs before you even reach the configuration you want in some parts.

And even then you didn't got the possibility to switch any itmes, but just upgrade their effectiveness (once).

Hope this will be "fixed" soon

As shrew said, its from the PC version (old version) however I'm pretty sure the devs said they will be experimenting in the future although this doesn't mean the same level of customisation will return.
