Currently we see the Hochfir SMG used on Proxy, and what other mercs?
At the moment I feel that the Blishlock is being spread amongst a large majority of the mercs, but why should that be the only SMG that is spread evenly?
For me personally, I am not too fond of the other mercs because of this. I am a huge fan of the Hochfir SMG and it actually doesn’t need any modifications to what I can see. At the high level of competitive play it is actually very hard to kill someone during firefights as well as the fall off damage feeling like on of the highest.
Since the Fletcher patch I know a few people that are currently using the Empire 9 SMG on the shotgun class as their main SMG just because they dislike the blishlock, but why are we forced to play this weapon over the majority of mercs? I think that the SMGs should be evenly available, but put a certain rarity on the ones that you may feel are more powerful than others, or better still…do it without rarity.
There might be a counter argument that says the game will be overrun by the Hochfir, yes this might be true but wouldn’t you want people to enjoy the game more by playing the mercs and weapons they so desire rather than restricting them to a particular merc because of the weapon and therefore ending up not supporting the game as much when they feel they don’t need any of the additional mercs?
This is to only amend those mercs who currently have SMG available to them.
Would like something like artys with ~12clip, more damage, lower firerate, bit more stability and more recoil
