How is making common sense game balancing changes going to make the game worse? The NetGun is fine the way it is. But the Minigun is a beast and should be a weapon worth using.
The Minigun is more a liability than an asset. There’s no reason the SAW aka the RP-103, a 5.56 belt-fed LMG should outperform the Minigun — a weapon that has a higher ROF and uses a larger bullet, 7.62 NATO rounds.
The Minigun should have a buff.
The SAW was known for both accuracy and stopping power thats the beauty of lmgs and why they over a minigun are more reliable it also is not as heavy, as such like I said: buff The minigun I’ll still make it useless. The minigun can be a formidable weapon but it requires a tactical,competent squad.
Basically common sense: you can buff it if you like but you are still going to meet predators that negate its usefulness therein making the buff itself useless. I’m also just burnt out on hearing the same thing on both sides: this is op, this needs a buff, this needs a debuff etc etc it just gets old there are better changes to be made.
Then stop debating buffs and nerfs. Some are worthy of change, while others aren’t because their balance is fine. I think you might need to edit you post above because it doesn’t make sense.
You’re also talking to a military veteran that’s familiar with firearms and a 5.56 nato round doesn’t hit harder than a 7.62 nato round. Have you actually fired either of these weapons IRL? I have and I’m telling you the Minigun needs a buff.
The Minigun is a more powerful weapon and that isn’t reflected in the game.
You are trying to make a video game based on fiction (not realistic) realistic that in of itself is just making it sound like whining. Just like they aren’t likely to make the game true to the movies (if they did you really wouldn’t like this game anymore) you can be your veteran self and that’s fine but also know when to realize: it’s just a game not every little thing is going to be realistic to your specifications or mine or Bobby joes and that’s fine.
(another tidbit: the horrendous bugs need to be fixed foremost at this point in time is the biggest point to be made, and as stated most posts that claim needs nerfed or buffed in my eyes just aren’t reaching the most important thing that needs to be worked on in the game, that’s just trying to pacify people and frankly that’s been worked on enough time to start actually working on the more important matters for a month or two)
Working on balancing issues doesn’t detract from other endeavors @IllFonic is working on.
It’s fine that in your opinion the Minigun is not something worth tackling, but to others — myself included, it is something worth addressing; hence, the threads asking for a buff/rebalance @OldKingHamlet .
At this point, they just need to scratch the whole game and start again🤣
