Scambler ;switch charge with ion. Add more heat to single shots less to charge but cost more ammo and doesnt overheat with one charge.
Flaylock; drop bonus to area and make it direct damage, normalize area to 1.75m for non breach reduce splash add direct damage .
Ion pistol ; remove charge and heat , make mag size 24. Done
Nk; fine, vehicle damage should go to 20% but not a priority
Bolt pistol ; add range and damage , lower dps with lower rof. increase headshoot to 250% -400%, somewhere in that range.
And this will probably go on deaf ears but thats how they should be balanced.

>Headshot damage should remain exactly how it is with the scrambler. 400% damage of a bolt pistol shot is close to 600 or more damage. That would be extremely OP, specially with longer range and damage as you suggest.

All in all I would rather not change the mechanics of any of the weapons, i.e making the scrambler pistol charged etc.

All in all I would rather not change the mechanics of any of the weapons, i.e making the scrambler pistol charged etc. Ion pistol could a slight up in rof or damage to place near the smgs dps, Bolt pistol with a slow rof to make hard in close range and making each shoot count ie rewarding aiming.

As it stands now its less then the smg so with an added 12 damage across the board w/ minor scaling on teirs above this would be all that is needed. This even acounts 4 its semi auto fire. 62 base damage 4 standard from 50 with rof remaining the same. Level 2 Forum Warrior, bitter vet.

Buffing the damage is a good start but I would also like the ccharge shot mechanic also get looked it because as of right now and even if single shots gets buffed it is relatively useless. All the charge shot needs is heat =90 rather then 100. The damage plus ammo is the only change thats really needed. Level 2 Forum Warrior, bitter vet.
