You’re probably pretty much on the mark with that.
Although, i am really hoping the balance changes (if there even are any) are substantial. Sadly, i think you will be right about them being smol, though. I am a “balancing radical” and this is a huge problem for me currently.
Hopefully there’s a couple more weapons than what we were hyped on. Like we didn’t know about new chain weapons or the combat knife 6 until the trailer last time. The freak didn’t have any weapons for them mentioned (again) so my hype-cope is sufficiently wired for disappointment.
The real change of the update will be if any background systems change such that mods utilizing them break. Like any update, lol. There’s no real overhauls that they’re talking about, just dropping more weapons in the schema. And a map that will probably take over QP and have several of the limited slots occupied on both boards. That’s about it. Please someone make the plasma gun not shoot through 25+ shotgunners, uncanny knife should have armor fighting ability somewhere like an axe not an always on power sword 6, do we have to play through 6 more months of this.
