Physically based rendering

Im no tech expert on this topic, but it came across while i was discussing skins with people who created them.

As they said the KF2 doesn't have a PBR in it and i was wondering, is it something that developers can add into the engine or is it something that only Epic can/could add?

As far as i understood it would greatly help creating a more realistic looking metallic textures and give textures better depth.

FWIW Rising Storm 2 : Vietnam had a "fake" PBR shader created for it by TWI/AMG (Leveraging the Spec/Gloss pipeline). That said I believe KF2 does use a similar system, but it's not something you can switch to on the fly, as you'd have to rework pretty much everything!
