Seems legit.

No, you know what is OP? an SMG with nothing on it and a flaylock on a commando STD frame with no mods, that OP bro

hmm, no a heavy suit with a flaylock and nothing else seems right about it

Just saying that calculating the DPS by multiplying the damage per shot by the number of shots per second is nonsense for a weapon like an AR.

Adding in MORE POWERFUL weapons doesn't help the problem. Saying it's a general weapon for noobs to start also doesn't help the cause. It needs a reduction in ROF or an increase in bullet spread. It's extremely accurate from extremely far away which makes it extremely overpowered with respect to the other weapons on the field.

on another note, reducing complex damage mods down to 5% from 10% and giving them a negative penalty of adding extra kick to the weapon would also solve this problem by different means.

I never said numbers weren't important. I said your numbers were nonsense.

Dispersion.

Altering damage mods will affect other weapons in the game that are doing just fine.

It's the AR and ASR that need specific attention right now. A 30% damage nerf to those weapons is a good place to start.

30% brings the DPS of the Duvolle down to 327.25, BEFORE skills and damage mods.

That's very reasonable, and will actually make a difference in how long firefights last.

Actually Duvolle is Not 34 but 37.4


And to have the same DPS a Mass Driver must make only directs hits which is impossible and even like that Assault rifle have a better DPS..
And when i say same DPS i didn't ocunt headshots for the assault rifle.


Duvolle is 37.4 per second.
12.5 shots per second.

467.5 DPS.

Freedom is 267 per second ONLY in directs hits.
If splash it's 127.

Duvolle in one clip : 2244
Freedom (Mass driver) in one clip (Only directs hits) : 1602
If splash only : 762


Let's take a Duvolle a bad shooter (really bad) will miss half of the shots.
It will make 1122 damage in 4.8 sec.

Let's take a Basic Mass driver user (Not bad just basic) he will make only splash.
It will make 1602 damage in 6 sec.


Duvolle will still kill it faster and i didn't even count the Headshot which is REALLY frequent with assault rifle.
And ididn't even mention than assault rifle wins 60 per kill because of headshots while al ot of weapon can't make headshots.

This is some Fox News level of statistics.

Bahaha, standardizing weapon dmg/clip is probably the stupidest game design decision I've ever heard. Damage per clip is a balancing factor against other things, such as the scrambler pistol's insane headshot damage boost. 20-shot scrambler pistols and 20-shot assault mass drivers would be awful for game balance. Weapons have purposes other than raw damage, and there are many factors beyond damage per clip that affect how well a weapon performs.
Also, sure, the MD's splash DPS seems low, but multiply that by catching 2-4 people in it, and suddenly you're outperforming an AR again. It's not the same weapon and it shouldn't be.
Don't kill weapon variety with your asinine suggestions, kthnx.

I never said to increase clip size. MD 6 shots 1500 damage, AR 60 SHOTS 1500 DAMAGE, SR 60 SHOTS 1500 DAMAGE, SHOT GUN 6 SHOTS 1500 DAMAGE.

AV - FORGE, 3 SHOTS 1500 DAMAGE AGAINST INFANTRY, AGAINST VEHICLES BUFF THEM UP SOME 1500 DAMAGE PER SHOT

Damage could then be modified by modes
