    Embark had consistently released new weapons in a slightly OP state then nerfed them into balance after a couple weeks. I don’t think it’s just “bads screeching”, but they will probably scream about it being way more OP than it actually is.

    I’m curious to see if the minigun will be a primary weapon or a specialization though.

      I agree that there were a few problems with children, like the dual psitol and FCAR, but most weapons released after s1 all needed/need buffs. I don’t think I agree with ‘consistently’, but I might be slightly pedantic.

      Edit: also, I hope it’s a specialization so I can pair it with the Ks-23

          I think heavy us in an ok spot, tbh. I think the ks-23, m-60, and Spear probably need something, though. M’60 just excels at no ranges. It’s the strongest vlass, overall

            The M60 was absolutely shredding people in TDM the first few days it was out. There were just so many lights in such a tight proximity that the massive belt just let you just full send lead down range until everything was dead. Other than that it’s a weapon I never pick, which sucks because I have the cb1 skin for it that I never get to rock. That’s also an AKM issue for me.

            The famas was nerfed after release, and both the pike and deagles were nerfed after release. I guess that’s not “consistently”, and the cerb was buffed after release, so I definitely spoke to absolutely.

              deagles were nerfed after release

              Heavy mains will hate me for saying this, but I think the deagles still need another nerf. Specifically to their range. They should either take a slight accuracy drop, or have a shorter damage falloff range, because it’s trivially easy to just laserbeam heads from across the map with them right now. It has the range and accuracy of a precision rifle, but doesn’t have a scope to flare for enemies to see, and fires way faster. It’s insane how strong the deagles are at range.
