Saying that a 12 damage bar (as opposed to 12.5) would be the same as an m4 is totally neglecting the fact that other stats such as clip, freeze, firerate, reload speeds etc. even matter. As a matter of fact, that 0.5 damage nerf will give you room to buff it’s other stats while still making it a gun worth 200k gralats. The gun is not a reward gun, and treating it like era’s little privileged baby only reinforces the P2W aspect that you’re trying to disprove. I know full well that reducing the damage by 0.5 will make it a 5-shot-kill gun, and thats the point. This change wont render bar useless and as i said you can still buff it’s other stats if it feels like it does. Nerfing it will show players that the game is not P2W and that Bar, while being the other most expensive gun in the game, should not be a free pass to the top of the food chain, but rather a gateway to harder-to-earn reward guns that should ultimately be better.
The gun is way too overpowered and too many people have it. Thats the issue.
