Right now they are gimmicks.
!ALERT! Suggestions could be not lore accurate.
MG IV (smol, just like your ex thinks of you) rework:
- rapid burst fire mode which leads to higher dps, perfect at close-mid range, bad at long range cause of recoil/dmg falloff
MG Ia rework (average, your cope):
- damage buff, auto fire, ok at any range, perfect at none cause of recoil/fire rate
MG XII (the guy she told not to worry about)
- good as it is, dmr - perfect at long, good at mid, bad at close
So it will give them more distinguished role. And also will save some fingers from arthritis
Two reasons why i think fire mode profile should be changed:
-
MG12 will always benefit from Deadshot feat more than MGIa and MG IV because of damage per shot if three of them will compete in one (dmr) niche.
-
Changing MG IV a bit more towards SMG will bring more options for zealot/psyker (not sure)/vet run&gun style
I’m not sure how some blessings will work with burst and auto fire mods though, maybe some changes should be done there also.
