So if you are smart enough to not let your weapon overheat, it would literally have infinite ammo? Idk if you have used the AScR before, but I have literally never overheated it, unless they bump up overheat rate on all weapons it might get out of hand.

I suggested in an earlier comment that the ASCR should overheat after firing 70-80 automatic shots to be more consistent with its current magazine size.
Also the amount of spare batteries could be much lower than the spare magazines of regular weapons as a tradeoff for the potential infinite ammo.

What? Why?

Could you elaborate on this?

I haven't run numbers on the time in each case (especially with all the possible skill and weapon permutations included) but reload takes some time and you can weapon switch while overheat takes some time you cannot weapon switch and you take damage (assuming that the weapon actually overheated rather than just had some heat build up which are are allowing to dissipate).

I'd be interested to know which you meant, full overheat or only dissipation as well as your thoughts on what could be done to balance those two so the combination was in the right spot.

Cheers,
