G7 needs a Rate of Fire nerf

Dear Respawn, This weapon has become over-powered in close quarters combat. It's too easy to handle and fires too rapidly, we have just about everyone running it in their load outs and using a SNIPE...

@SolitaryMassacreNo? I didn't say 'drop the fire rate to match the longbow'. Right now here are the current rounds per minute each gun fires:

G7 Scout RPM: 273
Triple Take RPM: 75
Longbow RPM: 70
Charge Rifle RPM: 30

So yeah, we could literally halve the RPM of the G7 and it would STILL be twice as fast as the longbow.

*edit* Not to mention, G7 rounds drop a LOT less than the longbow, so you don't have to adjust your aim near as much from a distance.

      @Draknost Nooooo,

      Stop with the Nerfs!

      You noobs dont understand why it was buffed in the first place.

      During season 2, the longbow firerate was buffed. The Longbow dominated season 2 ranked. So we asked the Devs to buff the G7 a little for season 3. So the Devs buffed the damage from 30 -> 34!

      At the beginning of season 3, the Longbow was nerfed back and G7 was buffed to 34. But now since the Longbow had been nerfed the G7 can be nerfed back to 30.


      You noobs are now asking to nerf the G7 firerate which would mutate the weapon into something else.

      If Respawn decide to nerf the G7, the proper way would be to reduce the damage back to 30.

        @hhnbbfggty66 The damage is fine at 34 dude. The problem happened when they buffed the width of the bullet size which made people use the G7 more.

        G7 needs a nerf by reverting the width and lowering the ammo clip size. You refuse to read the posts of this thread.

        I'm a G7 user and been using it since Season 1. G7 is meta in scrims and tournaments and people spamming it because the clip size is huge and the width is bigger than before.

        The damage of 34 should stay the same though in my opinion as long as they revert the width and lower the clip size.
