My ways of fixing the most annoying shit in this game
Ive been playing for years, picked it up again and im losing my mind at the thought of what factions 2 could have been, so here it goes. They are listed from most OP to less.
Combo Shooting: believe it or not this is the worst low skill/high bullshit ratio exploit in the game, and the fact its so widespread and accepted makes it worse:
-Increase holstering/unholstering time, based on a weapon's weight and capacity.
Tactical Shotgun: Close second, it would be as simple as:
- No silencer for this weapon, increase reload time, also decrease base magazine from 3 to 2.
FAT 1: Now hear me out, this perk isnt annoying at all when playing, but it is annoying how absurdly broken it is, it makes no sense, a loadout without this is instantly a weak loadout:
-Reduce efectiveness from 75% (lol) to 40% or so.
Sharpshooter: idk who thought it was a good idea that you would get health for shooting people:
-Simply remove the heals, increase the other %bonuses if necessary
Covert Training: Althought the less broken of the listed here, some adjusting could be done to reduce the frustration of getting shit on by it:
-Make it more expensive OR variable effectiveness based on distance ( user could still be visible in listen mode, just at very short distances, and their shape would be very distorted)
!However my case for covert training is that it would get indirectly balanced by just negating most of the weapons from a silencer, meaning the only true silenced weapons would be bow, crossbow, and 9mm.
