Ngl, with this month’s update being weapon focus, I was expecting some sort of weapon balance update.

Some weapons were tweaked a while ago and stayed the same ever since

The thing is, a lot of the weapons are better than their counterpart, and it makes a sandbox that still has a relatively small weapon pool feel even more bland.

For exemple, the G3 that was added with the Boys In Blue DLC is a direct counter to the Scar-H from the base game, yet, the G3 feels better in nearly every single way ; better handling even when loaded with attachements, better recoil, the weapon doesn’t bounce around like crazy…

And its kinda the same story with the RPK and the Blyspruta. The RPK has more damage, better less punishing attachements, ADS isn’t as slow despite running more attechements, better reload speed…

Weapons and Attachements, for me, needs a complete rebalance

While the ability to now have your OVK weapons faster, with no cooldown between call is good,

I feel like as a whole, the new mod/perk system kinda nerfed the OVK weapons as a whole,

The reason being, a lot of them aren’t new, and you basically now have to choose between what was already on your weapon at Level 5.

The Marcom Mamba for exemple got some new unique perks focusing on armor penetration, which is nice, but you now have to choose between that, or a 50% faster reaload that is now locked behind a 4 kill (without reloading) requierment for exemple

I get, there is a balance that needs to be present, but for me, the new perk system feels a bit bad, and I wished we got like, ”attachement” customization instead of the perk being split up, kinda like the new Rocket Launcher is having ammo type as an option.
