@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.
