Balance Changes:
M240:
Changed Accurate perk into Fast Reload and More spread into BRoF, as it was hurting the gun anyway. Changed the order of the perks to not have the most important one at 250
PKS:
Changed into a protype of next season MMGs. Stats below are based not on old PKS but on updated M240 which I used as a starting point. In brackets the M240 stats of the full auto mode.
Damage: 37-43 (25-37)
Range: 70 (70)
Burstsize: 6 (12)
AP cost: 12 (28)
OneHex: 42 (45)
Spread: 15 (7)
Inaccuracy: 20 (0)
Aimtime: 70 (70)
Suppression x2 (Suppression)
Fast Reload (Fast Reload)
Suppression (Suppression)
BRD (BRD)
More Dakka (Suppression)
Accurate (BRoF)
Overall this change emphasizes sustained covering fire over single target burst. This PKS is not supposed to be replacing M240 as the go-to machinegun. The m240 has a shorter burst, faster rate of sustained fire and more single target damage, however when shooting 3-5 targets, the PKS easily deals up to 50% more damage, especially against sPA
Johnson LMG: All bren guns in the game have been turned into Johnsons, including its spawns
- Magazine size 20 -> 30
- Reload AP 50 -> 60
- Range 55 -> 65 (both modes)
- Single shot AP 25 -> 15
- Added extra rank of suppression trait
- is now repairable with repair kits
BAR:
First changed into copy of Prepatch Johnson LMG, then added following changes
- ST requirement 5 -> 6
- Reload AP 50 -> 40
- Range 55 -> 70 (both modes)
- Damage increased 37-43 -> 37-45 (both modes)
- Single shot AP 25 -> 20
- Burst AP 40 -> 45
- Added extra rank of suppression trait
Next season, the Johnson will be one tier above the BAR and its direct upgrade. Its extended magazine, lower AP cost and better "soft" stats (weight, st req) should make it stronger while the BAR remains usable with its slightly higher range and damage.
Concerning the current season, the increase in range should make the Johnson much more usable as it sets itself apart from the AR's.
For more Info on the Johnson, here's a great video from ForgottenWeapons.com (https://www.full30.com/video/4d5d2d57784bd73ccda793c407fad5e8)
Shotguns:
- Reduced Range

This is a try to nerf the stun grenade combo while adding potential as a backup gun for Big gunners that are being rushed by melee or need to finish a target when out of ammo.
Increased ranges of AX338 and Stoner LMG which were left out last time.
