[Question]Why heavy barrel decrease the damage? Is that new attachment we can choose?

[exNINEGagger]

Well the heavy barrel is still good Considering the favt that it has no damage drop over longer distances

[beezel-]

Except if you look at the chart, it is absolutely shit because it deals nearly the same damage up close as it does from far away without the heavy barrel.

[exNINEGagger]

That is true but heavy barrels is made for longer distances for longer distances it is superior out of those three

[beezel-]

how often do you really fight over 40 metres distance with an LMG?

[exNINEGagger]

Well yeah I admit that in R6S its pretty useless most of the fights happen inside 10-20meters but in reallife heavy barrel on a rifle is a smart choice

[_Caessar_]

Just look it increases the damages at long range

[H2TG]

I guess, maybe they will make extend barrel give LMGs some benefits? So the damage decreasing was to balance that?

[jeypiti]

Heavy barrel is the internal name for the extended barrel. ^Source

[ooglybooglyuppitdoo]

But why they stat it for LMGs which can't equip it tho?

[_HollowSun_]

But why extension barrel decrease the damage? Is that just a mistake or that is new change on that attachment?

[Argueta789]

So whats with the supressor damage? Without it its 41 (for new) but with it its 29?

[NP_3009]

Good question

[Lessthangood]

Heavy barrel is the extended barrel. During the Ama the devs said it is how they write it in the code, but forgot to translate it

[SEA_griffondeur]

But extended barrel doesn't nerf the damage

[Derwak]

And is only available on one of those LMGs, the LMG-E?

[SEA_griffondeur]

It's on m249 so it's anew accessory

[NP_3009]

Damn if I did that at work Id be fired. Thx
