I had thought of the modded controller issue once I saw the damage and rof were both higher.
Many do just have a fast trigger finger though. I can fire it faster then the breach ar, but not at the maximum a mod user could do.
Maybe have the rate of fire decrease slightly each consecutive shot and jam if it fires to fast? A good player could adapt to this easily, and the finger naturally losses a little speed. This wouldn't prevent modded controllers, but would stop off the shelf ones and make the people that do make them need to use complex integrated timing circuits or programmable micro-controllers.
For people that think a trigger can't be pulled that fast some examples from paintball markers.
300 trigger pulls per minute to activate full-auto function on ramping gun
480 balls per minute gravity feed, people upgrade to a power feed so a semi-auto gun can fire faster then 480rpm
600-720 rpm is about limit most people can do in short burst.
900 rpm is limit placed by several organizations for tournaments.
1200 rpm is claimed by some professionals, but not often achieved when tested.
Personally, I like the range of the tac and would still use it even if damage per second was reduced to breach levels.
The breach was over nerfed by the way, damage per shot increased to match tac ar would be nice.
The kick does increase with modded controller, based off last builds glitch that made them full-auto. It was hard to keep it on target and it wasted ammo, but was still over powered.
Maybe make tac ar rate of fire decay from 800rpm to 480rpm over 24 rounds, and jam if fired to fast? This would make the max rate of fire out of reach of most and make it hard to use a modded controller with it. They would have to make short high damage bursts or set the controller at a rate lower then what is done manually by good players. A reload would clear the jam and a pause in firing would reset the max rate of fire decay.
As an alternate, it could start to over heat if it fires faster then the breach ar, overheating at 12 rounds at max rate of fire. This would make it hard to use with max rate of fire modded controller, but heat build up would be easily manged by good player making aimed shots. |
