"Gun Curve" philosophy is broken and flawed TLDR at the end

There was mention few patches back about not buffing The p2020 and Mos because you wanted to game to have a "curve" so the weapons get better over the course of the match when upgrading parts. Just ...

I dont know if you have noticed, but the p2020 does about the same damage per shot as the r99. The only difference is RoF and magazine size. you can easily knock someone who hasnt got armor yet in under a second with the p2020. The mozambique can 2 shot an unarmored target if one of 3 shots hits the head, and alternatively if you hit all 3 pellets it does 15 more damage than punching, letting you shoot twice, punch once and knock someone.
The curve being referred to is exactly what you are describing and calling random luck.
You have low tier weapons which are better than your fists if you can aim with them, but you want to swap them out asap. You have medium tier weapons, which are better than the low tier weapons if you can aim with them, and can run ok for most of the match. Then you have high tier weapons, which you want to have by the end of the game. If you survive, you are guaranteed to come across plenty of high tier weapons by the end of the game, and even somewhat likely to come across "god tier" weapons.

Okay fair point, so if this is way they doing the "curve" that's fine i think its unbalanced. They need change the frequencies at which high tier weapons appear.

Tier 1 - P2020, Mos, etc

Tier 2 - powler, scout, etc

Tier 3 - Wingman, Peacekeeper, r99, nades, etc

Tier4 - Crab and Mas

So as it stands right now i can find tier3 weapons all the time pretty early. In fact i see The wingman and peacekeeper more then i see p2020 and alts. So if they are going with kind of gun curve they change the rates at things spawn

T1 all the time you find these more than ammo and nades

T2 slightly less then t1

T3 should be pretty rare like lvl 3 armor

T4 i think the drop rate on these actually spot on.

You find certain weapons based on where you land more than anything. Higher tier areas are more likely to have more higher tier weapons and gear in general. Nameless areas are likely to have meds, nades and MAYBE a gun. also your tiers are... inaccurate to say the least. Nades are single use and are therefore 2 at most. They are everywhere.
