For burst weapons something with a fast ROF but low recoil doesnt make much sense unless you want to lower the caliber of the round which would lower the damage per round.

Don't you dare touch the SMG!


That -snip- is perfect.

CPU and PG need to be lowered as well. A back up weapon should not require close to the same as a main weapon. It is the jack of all trades as far as a sidearm goes, but compare it to any other sidearm and wtf runs through my mind. As a Login I liked the idea of skilling into a sidearm as my main to save on cpu/pg, and the sub is the only true choice to be used for a sole weapon, but it takes getting to proto level until there is a slight cpu saving, for a massive dps loss.

A final thing I would like to see changed is the Breach Variant. In my opinion, it is a poor weapon. However, this feedback is from my personal inability to get kills with it. In the right hands, I feel that it is probably a good weapon, but I just can never do well with it. In addition, I rarely see them used or die to them, though they are fairly good at killing Scouts. Higher damage and/or a higher rate of fire would help to make it viable, or it could be completely reworked, i.e. removing it in lieu of a Burst Variant, with a crazy rate of fire in each burst but a measurable delay between bursts, less damage per round, smaller magazine, better range, and less recoil, for a more precise weapon.

Stay away from my Breach SMG!

I love the SMG of Dust, and use one on every one of my fittings.

EDIT: Looking at the Combat Rifle stats, the reload time is 2.6 seconds. Based on the concept art I've seen, it appears that the Combat Rifle is a modified SMG. I feel, therefore, the reload time of SMGs should be readressed to reflect this.

I'm all abou tthe Toxin SMG. Really didn't use it until Uprising. Sharpshooter IV Proficiency III, I take out Prototype suits with it on my dragonfly scout all day long.

lol, there is no reason and SMG needs a buff in any sense. DPS on it is ridiculous.
