-Great for factions!
After the release of the weapons DLC, there's been several "workshop factions" as I like to call them, such as Newquay Armed Forces, Ashen Armed Forces, etc. And I'm sure, whenever uniforms are added, each of these groups has a possibilty of wearing the same uniform while in mulitplayer or whatnot. But wouldn't it be great if they had patches to go along with them?
-How customizing and applying them would work
Creating and applying patches should be something found in the character editor. Say that the arrow navigational thing (used to navigate the editor) had one more tab: patches. There, you can create your own patch using a pixel-art type editor. Once done, you can apply your patch. Now, they'll be on the left shoulder of your uniform.
-And if you want to share the designs with your friend
You can share them with your Steam Friends by checking a little box. You can find shared designs towards the bottom of the editor.
