When can we see Buffs on Weapons Instead of Nerfs?
With S6 being the focus of weapon balance, I think most of us see that this season comes with a lot of nerfs and very few buffs (making a weapon better to use), and in that department there's a lot to be worked on.
SMGs are almost obsolete in 2042 because they can't compete with ARs when they are outgunned and outranged. Even with Practice and Skill there's few use for Most SMGs besides PP29 and PBX-45. Even with redacted introduced, why use an SMG if an AR like the VHX can do that job better even outside of that map.
Sidearms besides Super 500, G57, and BFP .50 are almost pointless to use if they simply can't compete in damage/firerate/ range etc. most sidearms are almost the same gun but lack the reliability the big 3 have.
The NVK-S22, the weird shotgun is still unwieldly to use compared to the 880 and 12m auto.
Vault Weapons are especially Hit badly since they have the worst attachment variation, especially Vault Sidarms that had options REMOVED before the changes in S5. Some also have little to no variation in how they fundamentally meant to be used compared to other Vault Weapons or even AOW 2042 guns.
There are Other honorable mentions such as the Ghostmaker's main gimmick of the Bolt Rack is almost pointless when it has so little advantage towards Standard and Explosive Bolt, DM7, VCAR and SVD being not that great comapared to the SVK, M39, G428, and BSV-M. But these are my main issue I have that needs to be improved to be better options.
