Here’s a list of known broken things for the FT, feel free to add. The reason for this list, is hopefully the devs nerf them lol but worse to worse, atleast everyone can finally admit these things are broken.
Field medic(not cause extra health when revived, but because you get up in a second and a half.
Damage specializations (because bane exists)
So. Bane gives 10% extra damage. Assault does extra bullet damage, Deadly gives 10% extra damage, hip fire ignores impen, and your Dutch using leader, gives you another damage boost. Do all these stack to give you like 40% increased damage that also ignores impen?? Based on tests, I’m going with yes lol. Try assault with bane with these specializations stacked with the AK or Mercenary and DELETE predators in 2-3 seconds flat no joke.
Scout Duelist. 20% damage increase. Use bane. Brings you up to 30%. Add leader bonus. Now around 40%. Scout Duelist will wind Predators in 2-3 seconds flat as well. While also yeeting around the map.(note the most broken weapon for this is the 1911 but if you wanna use the Glock it’s still strong or revolver, obviously still strong just less DPS)
Parrying. If the predator tries to come in for a quick melee slap and you parry him he is stuck in place. Let’s assume your team is not god tier and reacts slow, but is using these broken damage builds I’m discussing, they will still wind him. You literally cannot afford to get stunned in place a single time with these damage builds in the game. Parrying would be less broken if these builds did not exist.
Mission times. I’ve left on the chopper in less then 3 minutes before. Nuff said.
Dutch 87. Damage buff from hip, passive OWLF trained in kit, has enough perk points for thick skin and Bane, so you have a 180HP scout stamina pool doing 20% extra damage to the predator. This one is the most arguable because admittedly his broken damage is only from very close range, but none the less. I think he’s extremely powerful.
Thick skin. An Extra 25 health is bonkers. When it was 15 it was a good perk. When they changed it to 25, now you’re boosted out of your mind if you aren’t running it. Turns damage characters into tanks with damage and turns recon scout characters into bruisers who yeet around the map.
If you have any question about whether or not certain weapons are too strong (the AK) use certain weapons (the AK) and notice how much easier your games become.
Imo the spotting gun is broken but that’s just me I won’t say it’s objectively broken, but what is objectively broken is the Self Revive. This game is so so so so momentum based, and each member of the team can just absolutely delete all the momentum you have tried very hard to create once a match. That’s bonkers strong
A lot of weapons in the game are fine, but the gigantic damage boosts the specializations can give you absolute break them. The only weapon I’d say needs a straight nerf if the AK, everything else would probably be fine they just need to nerf the specializations. Yes most kids don’t use them correctly but if you have assault Deadly Scout Duelist Dutch 87 Leader and Support Field medic, your team is doing enough damage to essentially add a whole extra 1.2 Fireteam members while also being extremely survivable. Currently, these combos are broken.
Also by @Fire’s request I’m adding Dext perk. Cause increasing the speed of the already fast missions is broken lol
