Well our experience clear doesn’t seem to match. Not in the slightest.

I’ve been mainly running smoke build on Vet with plasma in mostly, even made a post about it [here](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/smoke-nade-build/88416) (it’s gotten a bit better with the tree change) at it’s heavily a hybrid build where you actively melee a lot, so IDK what you are talking about.

I just like shooter playstyle too and I don’t get why we can’t have that, and I’m also not getting while shooting some ambient poxwalker is a problem at all, not like we have much of those in AuricSTG+, mostly just ambient groups of 10+ gunners with like 40 shooters.
