It’s decent with the full auto mod, although it’s not fun to use with how jumpy the weapon is when used at fast rof. When not using the mod you give yourself early arthritis clicking constantly, and still have to deal with the odd recoil.
I don’t think it needs more damage, simply a better recoil profile and reduce muzzle flash in ads. If it’s still underperforming than we can look at damage buffs.
Funny enough this has as much damage as the MG 1a did before the buffs. Even on max stability the visual experience is terrible though. But I will throw out that Kantrael lasguns definitely get suppressed a lot for weapons that do no damage off headshot and little suppression back. All of them suffer this, and they aren’t really that great when you are hitting where you’re shooting either.
I quite like it with the full auto mod. It’s what I get the mod for mostly.
I do however require at least 78% on stability and it still is annoyingly jumpy but it’s better mostly for longer shots then a recon and much more ammo effective. I hear recons have been buffed though.
And we’re all pretty sure this was a gap filler because they didn’t have the gunsmith working like they said they would.
