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 t...

@BownrInSweatPanz Don’t anticipate that an SMG should compare to an AR. They should be for different purposes. An SMG inside redacted should be better than an AR, while an AR on Discarded running around outside should dominate an SMG. After 1600+ hours in 2042 (help me) the small arms are probably better than they’ve ever been on terms of balance and purpose. Same as the pistols, the MP28 is basically a DMR with a 2.5x scope on it. The burst rate of the 93R is really the only bad pistol (revolvers don’t count lol), the others are balanced either by range, damage, or mag size. No weapon should be good for all things. They’re going to nerf the XBar and 428, the 428 probably needs a little it’s a great all around weapon but should be more geared towards medium to long engagements. XBar seems fine I’m not sure why they’d nerf it, maybe a tiny tweak to get the HS modifier I pull more head shots than usual with it. That’s IMO anyways.

@ATFGunr When reading your reply in this thread I nearly fell off my chair when you wrote "After 1600+ hours in 2042 (help me)" << I thought it was hilarious.
On a more boring note, I genuinely don't understand how you managed so many hours on this game, and I'm not being critical either, I can't play this thing for more than an hour, sometimes twenty mins is enough for me.
It's boring now, and all the messing around they have done and continue to do is just spoiling the game.

  @80uwjx4m1chc I’ve been a battlefield fan since 1942. I don’t play other games as i have limited time to play so when i do i tend to just okay Battlefield. 2042 has made that hard to do with all its issues. But after my family goes to bed I’ll get in an hour or so, and Fridays I hook up with some buddies and we get a good night in. If not for those buddies, I would not have so many hours in the game. It’s their fault really lol. I get what you’re saying man, I really do. I play a lot of crossplay off against & with a small group of real players and a lot of bots. It’s less fun, it’s not the game I want, but it solves a lot of the game issues.
