Weapon Spotlight - G7 Scout and Alternator

Love the alternator, could be nerfed ever so slightly by making its auto a tad slower while using the hop-up.

The G7 is awesome, especially in the beginning. Damage is in a good place but the hipfire accuracy could be improved.

I enjoy the G7 when my trigger finger doesn't let me down lol.

The Alterantor...... mmmmmm. It's a mediocre weapon that still feels a tad OP with disruptors. It feels like it's still a bit to strong imo. I enjoy using it, don't get me wrong but once you have the hopup, there is no real reason to carry an assault rifle. It needs a smaller mag or a slower fire rate (as suggested above) to help try and balance it. I love the idea of the hopup though. Maybe reduce flesh damage when the disruptor rounds are being used?

Dont nerf the alternator with the hop up, its in a good place now.  G7 scout is great, maybe a slight buff to the hipfire or a +1 or +2 to the base damage

alternator+hop = good

I never really use sniping weapon, me suck at sniping

Currently Alternator with hop up is borderline OP, I enjoy using it however. For snipers my go to is usually the Longbow, but lately I've been trying out the G7 and find that it is actually very good. Not so much for super long range like the Longbow, but great for mid range. The rate of fire is great and can tear through people if you have the aim. I go for either a blue or purple sniper scope.

"Initial disruption brought by the alternator hop up" So much punsssss.

On a serious note though, i've said this elsewhere but the hop up itself needs to lose some of its potency over range, an smg with heavy mid range effectiveness is just wrong, other than that the weapon is fairly well balanced and good for early engagements when a hop up isn't equipped.

The G7 now where do you even start on this thing...i've got a serious love hate with this weapon.  Early game its a highly effective mid range weapon. As soon as it encounters a blue or higher shield and well yeah....you may aswell just throw your light rounds at the enemy because you're unlikely to come out on top unless either their aim is terrible or their carried weapons are.

@Danimals_877 The Alternator with hopup is still to strong, especially over range. I do not need an AR when I have a hopped up Alt. That is never right. It needs some further balancing imo.

I think the alternator with the hop up is in a good place. I don't think there's a need to nerf it. The g7 is a great starting weapon but I feel it doesn't hold up too well compared to other snipers for late game.
