Title: 04-04-2016 Balance patch
Post by: John Porno on April 04, 2016, 09:34:45 AM
Just a quick patch for 3 weapons

G3A3 has been changed into a next season style of battle rifle. It is comparable to the Johnson but has a more AoE oriented burst and a single shot mode that scales well with IN/AG/LK and is geared towards picking off people in cover due to it's high range, bonus accuracy to negate cover and knockback perk.

- Increased Particle Accelerator range to 200. Does not affect the projectile speed, so it still takes 2 seconds without ballistics to get there
- Increased Rad Rifle range by 5 and switched out fast reload for bonus damage

Johnson seems kind of bad compared to Steyr Aug. Trading a little bit of range for higher spread (can use commando), lower AP cost, higher magazine size, arguably same damage. wat suppresion?  :'(

Maybe they are in different tier.

i think its all wip tho , because there were some anti supression tweaks and some other stuff im not being allowed to publish ...

in my opinion steyr is even a bit op wit its still twisted rangemods , singleshot range i guess is supposed to be the burst range and vice versa then it would be a whole different thing.

Johnson would be tier 7 and steyr tier 9, althought it will be replaced with sg-552 with the same stats. However, the tier 8 and 9 lmgs are stoner and m249 which have a different playstyle.

Johnson has longer range, more alpha damage and better armor penetration. It wont be a complete waste of time to shoot spa with it, for example. I think the range alone is enough though to make it worthwhile. Trying to use steyr on the open streets of VEnt for example is really hard if you cant directly windowfight.
