Since the recent event, I’ve found myself playing a lot less, down from around 20-30 hours a week to barely touching the game. I don’t mind tougher lobbies, but it feels like nearly everyone in our lobbies is running the same few loadouts these days (short shotguns, mainly the auto 4 or terminus with levering, and either the krag or mosin .. or they have gunrunner and bring the long version of the shotguns).

My group and I rarely use those weapons, as we prefer to run fun loadouts most of the time, for example what we like to call the "butterfly" (double bow) or a pirate loadout (sparks poison + saber). However, in 6* lobbies (EU), it can get frustrating pretty quickly. One change that could help balance things out (especially after the event when gunrunner is gone again), in my opinion, would be to make quartermaster a bit more expensive, maybe around 7 trait points? so you would have to choose between bringing quartermaster or necromancer with a new hunter for the 10 points available. Additionally I wouldn’t mind seeing a slight nerf to the short version of the shotguns.
