So, when can I expect to get the changes mentioned below?

This first one is a must have: Let's say I'm using the DS3, "Hold X to move over Object/Railing" (I know you want this to show up in a patch). Heavies only have that option while not wielding a Heavy weapon (switch to sidearm). The time it takes for a person to move over the object/railing is dependent on the Dropsuit's speed.

New Breach AR/SMG stats:

Breach AR Damage - 63.7 HP (STD), 66.8 HP (ADV), 70.1 HP (PRO)
Breach AR RoF - 450
High Kick for Breach AR
Breach SMG RoF - 882.8
Breach SMG clip size - 62
Slightly Higher Kick for Breach SMG

New Grenade Stats:

All Grenade types except Fused will have Max. Ammo of 2
Grenades cannot be resupplied from Nanohives, this is to prevent spam and use it tactically.
Fused Locus Grenade - 350 dmg, 2.5 splash radius, 9 CPU and 2 PG
M2 Contact Locus Grenade - 400 dmg, 2.8 splash Radius, 18 CPU and 3 PG
Thukker Contact Locus Grenade - 450 dmg, 3.0 splash radius, 48 CPU and 6 PG

New Dropsuit Profile/Scanning stats:

Basic Light Frame/Scout - 20m scan radius
Medium Frame/Assault - 15m scan radius
Logistics - 17m scan radius
Basic Heavy Frame/Sentinel - no changes
Commando - 14m scan radius
Precision Enhancement Skill - 3% Passive bonus
Profile Dampening Skill - 3% Passive bonus
Revert Range Amplifier to 5% bonus only if dropsuits get increased scan radius

New Tactical Sniper Rifle Stats:

Increase Clip Size by 5
RoF reduced to 78.4

New stats for Ammar Commando:

Shield - 320 HP
Armor - 320 HP
Shield Recharge Rate - 17.0 HP/s
CPU/PG would receive a slight increase
Ammar Commando Bonus - 10% to efficacy of Shield/Armor Modules per level

Plasma Cannon Assault Variant:

30% Higher Direct damage than current PLC stats
Same Splash Damage stats as the current PLC
Base Splash Radius is 3.8
Max. Ammo at 12

Plasma Cannon Normal Variant:

45% higher Direct damage than current PLC stats
15% higher Splash damage than the Assault Variant
Base Splash Radius is still 3.5
Charge time is 1 s

Plasma Cannon Breach Variant:

75% higher damage than current PLC stats (to be more AV oriented)
Splash damage is the same as Normal Variant
Splash radius is 1.8
Charge time is 1.4 s

The operation skill for the PC weapon is to be replaced with 8% Splash Radius increase per level. I say 8% because I tested the damage received on different distances from the point of impact and I only received the full damage around 2 meters or less. The current operation skill is about as useless as the old Splash Radius increase for Swarm Launcher (5% reduction per level to charge time of 0.6s isn't helpful). This weapon in its current condition is not worth using.

This weapon in its current condition is not worth using. all nice and such but there are some flaws in regards of your plasma cannon changes 1. increasing the charge time by such an amount means you are without defense for 3 seconds. there is a weapon switch lock after firing. your proposed normal variant would have to charge for 1s, then endure 2s weapon switch lock. a weapon for designed for urban combat which makes you defensless for such long amount of time? does not work out well, the weapon switch lock has to go. 2. the PLC still has bugs. - first bug happens regularly and mostly on uneven surfaces, like the old MD hit detection issue, the splash of the plasma cannon has the same problem currently - second bug happens when you shoot+sprint+switch to sidearm and then back to PLC to reload. the next PLC projectile you fire will charge instantly, consume ammo and deal no damage.
