The G7 scout is still the best weapon in the game

Question

Is it just me or am I the only one that sees multiple ways to nerf or bring the G7 scout into balance with other weapons in the game.

The G7 scout does literally 2x the damage of every other AR.
The G7 has 2x the fire rate and less damage fall off then the Longbow (for some unknown reason) even though the longbow is a sniper.

The G7 has the easiest to control recoil pattern in the game as-well

it’s only down fall is its iron sites.

They could take the longBow the triple take and the G7 and make another gun class for DMRs and time the damage down on all of them.
They could make the G7 a sniper again and slow its ROF down and yo the damage

They could lower its damage to 28-30 and leave The ROF alone.
or they could just Remove the wingman from the game bc it’s the G7 but for your pocket.. oh wrong post my bad.

@Eclipzo77 If the Wingman is stronger than the G7, then shouldn’t they focus on the Wingman first?

Also, the G7 is a mid range gun. It’s good for mid range, but other weapons can compete fairly well, like the Hemlok. Close range, not so much. It can do well, but other guns (R-99) do more damage.

@Zipaddooda What about Hemlok single fire?Or the Wingman?

@Zipaddooda Yeah, the Wingman can’t be sprayed, but it is a little annoying if someone can actually hit every shot.

@Eclipzo77 They need to really do something about the G7....it’s so OP. It also has become a complete no skill, spam gun. Kids pick it up, and just spam 10-20 rounds at a ridiculous ROF and I honestly think it outclasses every gun in the game when autoclicking. landing only half the shots of the standard mag is a purple arm knock, ridiculous.

I agree it needs a massive rate of fire nerf and if its not a sniper anymore it cannot have less of a drop than say the longbow, again, ridiculous. Please nerf asap EA!

@Sir_Named Oh I agree completely I made a thread about G7/hemlock. They both are spamming guns. 30 shots of the hemlock that you can spam as fast as you can pull the trigger? Ridiculous.

They need to put even the smallest delay between the G7/hemlock single shot trigger pulls. These kids with modded controllers are using basically fully automatic G7 and hemlocks. Unbeatable at any range.
