New 'Upgraded' Boost Kit Renders Ballistic's Sling Weapon Useless

Says it all, really. If Ballistic equips the 'Upgraded' boost kit it renders the weapon in the sling down to base level. First time it happened I thought it was just the Flatline. I had the Flatline...

@FuseDLuffy If I had to take a guess, its because the perk levels the sling weapon to match the armor level, (besides Red EVO, which should have the same level as level 3).

Since you're in level 1 armor, the gun downgraded to match the level 1 armor, (which doesn't make any sense, as the weapon is already at a "level 1" state, as indicated by the single gray star on the weapon's HUD).

    @Midnight9746 I thought that too but when I first noticed it I had a Flatline in the sling and even though I upgraded my level/armour to blue, the Flatline in the sling remained without any kind of scope.

      @FuseDLuffy Yeah, that is weird as it should of leveled up the gun.

      I don't play as Ballistic as much, so does he normally get upgraded optics without the "Upgraded" Rift Relic? I know when he uses his Ultimate, the sling weapon gets maxed attachments, (including its scope), but I don't remember if his other weapons level up with the scope as well.

        @Midnight9746 Any weapon in the sling becomes a white tier weapon with a 1x scope aside from sniper rifles which get a x2 scope. Once the Sling Shot perk is activated the tier of the weapon matches the tier of Ballistic’s armour aside from red.

        When the Ult is activated the sling weapon becomes a gold tier weapon.
