We are so close to greatness guys. Really, really close. It’s a step in the right direction when you gave them a little more ammo and a little more punch but we are still not quite there.
All the autoguns need to have an additional ammunition added to them. That’s it. That’s the post.
Why?
I really enjoy the various autoguns because they all feel and play differently. Some are for hails of gunfire, others are marksmanship rifles, some are semi-auto and some are full-auto. All of them have cool animations and decent meaty sound effects.
So why don’t I use them?
Ammo. Good god, even if I am making sure not to shoot unless I am guarenteed to hit something I always run out of ammunition at some point unless im on a Veteran. I don’t want to be detrimental to the team and so I will not take ammo until I am down to my last clip or so.
Fix?
Simple really.
The Infantry Autoguns and Braced Autoguns need to be given an additional 250-400 ammo. These guns are supposed to be ‘hail of bullets’ heck, some of them have it in the description! but we have to conserve ammo so frequently that running out is a serious issue at times.
The Marksman Rifles need either to be given an extra 150-300 rounds or brought in line with the other autoguns. 200 ish rounds is just not enough for a gun that takes 2 headshots to kill your average enemy or 5-10 on the bigger boys.
Putting IAG and Brauto in the same category is already incredibly questionable. IAG is super limited, but I basically never run out of ammo on brauto. Either you have some insanely greedy team mates or you’re shooting things with it randomly and needlessly.
Also HHs are absurdly ammo efficient for their main target pool. They in no way need more ammo.
Yeah pretty much it’s just IAGs that really need some more ammo.
You can argue that the Vraks MK 7 needs an ammo buff to make it somewhat comparable to the other two HH guns, but I think the other 2 HH do not need more ammo if they’re built right.
IAG haven’t been touched in a while besides the Columnus Mk 5 IAG getting an ammo buff a while back. I think the other two IAG should get ~9 mags in reserve like the Columnus MK 5 IAG did when it got its ammo buffed. The same could probably be said for the Braced autoguns. I also think all autoguns could be buffed by increasing their mags by 5 rounds.
To touch on another point, I think braced autoguns need a little bit more weakspot damage (Finesse damage) to maybe hit some new breakpoints, but that’s my personal opinion. Increase their weakspot damage from 30% to 50%?
this topic has been addressed. All the autoguns are getting ammo buffs except the vraks which is getting less ammo but they are significantly increasing the damage.
