Unpopular opinion: PK and WM are fine, everything else is just bad and heres why

PK, EVA, WM and even Spitfire are Generic FPS weapons that have very common feel and stats.

Meanwhile for example Assault Rifles have stripped clip sizes and scopes, increased recoil and spread, i belive its purpose was for upgrade system but that made them weak and requires 3rd party items to make them somewhat effective.

But PK, EVA, and WM are not affected by lack of scope, recoil is not an issue and have decent damage and clip sizes out of the box, thats why those are only weapons you want to pick first.

So there are two options to fix this issue:

1: Yes nerf, WM, EVA and PK, both clip sizes and RoF (heavely) and add attachmets that increases stats of both. Those are right now the only weapons that make you feel comfortable in early game.

2: Buff everything else, 18 ammo assault rifle feels just stupid and it takes time to get used that you dont have enough damage in your clip to take down single man with white shield, and you never want anything else but PK or WM in the begining.

    True, words. The real advantage of those weapons is the ability to kill with one mag.

    Small mag is to balance early game so that someone doesn't wipe your entire face before you loot up

    Yes, but PK, EVA and WM feel like they dodged clip shrinking process.

    When legendaries are taken out of the equation.
    Peacekeeper is the only gun in the game that you can easily run at end game and win matches without attachments.
    Wingman is possible, but does require attachments to make it great at end game.

    Both of these guns start and end strong.
    Nearly all other guns start weak and end ok. (fully kitted R-99 or Spitfire might hit that strong league, but they are not peacekeeper strong)

    Legendary guns are legendaries so within their own RNG realm.
    Sniper rifles are, well how many use them throughout all the match? God tier aim is required or they will deal mediocre bodyshot dps. Not even top tier apex players like shroud or dizzy run these (only as a meme/protest against the wingman/peacekeeper meta).

    Wingman is fine but it could receive a fire rate reduction to curb effectiveness of close range bodyshot spamming.

    Peacekeeper is too strong, 2 bodyshot to kill weapon from the start till the end of the game which does not require significant skill to output its optimal damage.
    Peacekeeper should receive a damage drop to around 90 max for bodyshots and a slight increase in shot spread.
