Well you if we take the Heavy DMR. Idk the damage values, but lets say its 75dmg per shot. 150 for headshots. (Hypothetical)
Upping it to 90 will not kill the enemy even at no armour, but it will help to shred more armour late game as most will have legendary or epic armours and helmets anyways, and if u dont, then u already done goofed. Looting is a part of the game balance. Ur not looting? Then sry, u wont be as powerful, unless ur really lucky.
The Heavy DMR btw, if u havent tried, has a pretty slow rate of fire, and if 2 shots are still a kill at no armour and 5 shots are still a kill with epic armour, then at least when buffed, they are gonna have to either heal for longer and for more, or die because your own allies could finish him since his hp was not at 80 this time, but instead at 40.
Not denying that gear should have an impact. I'm just saying it shouldn't be as strong as it is atm.
Some guns will need to be tweaked accordingly yes, but this isn't about the weapon damage. It's completely fine against unarmoured targets.
