The Spitfire needs a nerf
It's pretty embarrassing the fact that every low skill player rocks it... It's so stupid the fact that has 55 rounds. Its too broken. You can one clip a full squad and have a few bullets left. I thin...

Spitfire is fine, it just has too much ammo in the mag. All it really needs is to have a lower ammo count, not 55 rounds. The base ammo count could be reduced to 20, and the max ammo could be 35. Giving you 5 extra shots for each mag level you gain.
It's not an op gun, it just needs less ammo.
@AzraelSilens I can't disagree with this more. It's a boring method of balancing that makes all guns more or less the same. The high ammo capacity is what makes the gun unique so I'd rather see a nerf in other areas.
Would you rather it did less damage per bullet? Have an increase to recoil overall, rather than just at the start of firing? Have damage drop off and less TA at long ranges? Decrease hipfire accuracy? Lower headshot damage?
Anything that effects recoil or TA would barely affect pc players who already have pinpoint accuracy.
A decrease to even 40 rounds would make it so the weapon is still effective, and able to still do the same thing it does now, but reducing the capacity to just spray and pray. I would prefer it to be down to 35, but knowing that there are 15 less bullets that can come at me would make me feel better about challenging a spitfire, if i had cover.
The point is spitfire is an anti open spaces weapon. When you have zero cover it will likely bring you down, especially if anyone else is also shooting at you. I don't want to change that, I just want it's ability to just keep going to be reduced.
@AzraelSilensI mean they could lower things by 8, like Rampart would have 55 bullets max instead of 63, then every other legend would only have 47 bullets max but that doesn’t really fix anything it is still enough bullets to 1 v 3 an entire team
I don’t really want the magazine size lowered, I also don’t think the gold magazine is the problem because I honestly rarely ever get the instant reload feature because I never remember its even in the game
I was on Ifunny and have been noticing more Apex memes over the last few months and I thought this one was funny lol
Reducing the amount of bullets in the mag would destroy the feeling of the weapon. It's an LMG, it's supposed to have loads of ammunition. And an LMG is supposed to deal alot of damage as well. But as it is right now, it's too powerful even for people who just spray and pray
But if we think back to action movies where people "run" around with LMG's, they dont really run as much as they're walking with the back arched due to the weight of the weapon.
One thought about "nerfing" the gun would be to make a character move slower while wielding it, thoughts about this?
It would keep the spitfire as a true LMG, lots of ammo, lots of damage but at a very realistic price.
