Prototype gun to overpowerd

So… is Battlefield 2042 supposed to be “Prototype Simulator” now?

Since today I keep getting wiped by this “Prototype” weapon — even through walls. There’s basically no counter.

What’s the point here?
- Are we reducing the whole arsenal to one broken gun?
- Or is it just a way to push players who don’t own it (like from Iwo Jima) to leave?

I’ve played BF since 1942, and this is the opposite of what Battlefield stands for: balance, fair fights, real fun. The Prototype kills the BF spirit.

It is far from OP. The only pluses to it are the undermount launchers. You can get some cheesy kills with the airburst, and the 15 smoke grenades comes in handy. But the gun itself loses to most others up close. I T1ed it and now I'll never use it again.

I've been using it a fair bit since unlocking it, but it's not feeling too overpowered to me. It could possibly have the number of grenades reduced, but that's all I can think of right now.

Hmm...I wonder if that was people using a wall exploit to get beneath the map?

The gun itself is very mediocre.
The only good part of it is the grenade launcher which of course would do crazy things in Redacted with all those clustered tight spaces.
Why of course a squad that actually works together will be able to do that in a greater effect than others.
The KFS2000 is several times stronger than the Prototype in any normal scenario.
