I'm going to bump this for you, considering I would like to know as well.

cant be done in Hex Editor... it cant search for unicode strings

has to be done in Hex Workshop, just download it, Open the UI.map

do a unicode strong search for the gun name...

it should come with something like

a.s.s.a.u.l.t. .r.i.f.l.e just replace it woth your new name... it HAS to be the SAME amount of characters

phonamena it does not because other ppl make the pistol say SMG and anyway i have hex workshop

It cannot be more letters than the existing name.
BUT, you can reduce the length of the name by using a blank space for
the ones you dont need.

omg i found the text p.i.c.k.e.d. .u.p. .a. p.i.s.t.o.l.

and changed pistol to S.M.G. . . . .

but it still doesnt change in gameplay!

i made 343 guilty spark into The Oracle 343 GS but the pistol thing and AR thing wont change

There is usually more than one unicode string for a weapon. Usually one for picking it up and one for picking up ammo for it.

Don't do it in UI, do it in the map itself.

Someone needs to post the details on this as a tutorial, with a screenshot to prove it works.

HUGE TUTORIAL WAS HERE BUT IT EXCEPTION ERRORED ME WHEN I WENT TO TAKE PROOF PICTURE
