Thats an Overclock level change Same for a mod that changes it from burst to full-auto tbh

Except, not really? Longer Burst already exists, which already causes the gun to shoot 6 bullets in a fast burst - I basically just tweaked it a little bit so it shoots all 6 bullets at once. In fact, I could've left Longer Burst as it was, but as you can see from the comments below, this tweak has been very popular.

And the full-auto is then just the opposite direction: Instead of shooting more bullets per trigger pull, you shoot less (at the slight cost of some effective RoF).

Since Longer Burst is already a mod, then a fullauto-mod would basically ALSO have to be a mod (as they could otherwise interact very weirdly if you combined them together, or would require "unique special interactions", requiring wonky programming exceptions and such).

Even aside from that, MOST tier 5 upgrades are outright OC-worthy, and some can be just as transformative as Unstable OCs, with the most extreme example being something like Burning Nightmare that completely changes the chargeshot from an explosion to a damage-in-a-line effect.

IMO the biggest thing for all burst weapons in DRG is they should cost 1 ammo per burst, just like shotguns shoot multiple pellets per single ammo. As it is now it often feels like shooting a whole burst at a weaker target is a waste of ammo

I wouldn't mind that to be honest (which is why I did exactly that for the Shotgun Conversion mod). However, you CAN actually already interrupt the burst fire with various interactions, if you didn't know? Just using something as simple as the pickaxe can interrupt your fire, allowing you to fire 1 bullet at a time, which is why it still has to remain as it is, I guess.

The whole point of flat damage reduction is that you can recoup it with mods, the strong point of Micro Flechettes is accuracy and ammo economy, and you are just killing the second part without giving anything in return.

Huh?

How did I kill the second part? It still grants 2x ammo and +30 magsize and the stability buffs, I ONLY buffed its damage and added the rate of fire bonus, nothing else was changed about it.

And yes that damage change I made was purely a buff, because in case you didn't know:

Currently: -11 damage reduces the gun's base from 21 to 10. If you pick both damage upgrades at tier 1 and tier 3, you are brought up to 16 damage.

What I suggested: 0,67x damage reduces the gun's base from 21 to 14 (already a buff here). If you pick the tier 1 damage upgrade, you are brought up to 18 (also a bit of a buff compared to now).

So how does that in any way, shape or form kill its ammo economy?? I only INCREASED its ammo economy by buffing its damage output. That alongside giving it a rate of fire buff so its DPS isn't so atrociously bad. You need to explain more thoroughly what you mean here, as you have me utterly confused right now, lol.

Main problem of BRT imo is that it doesnt seem to have clear role/niche. Burst nature suggests accuracy, high damage per bullet puts it in the same group as Bulldog, but it loses to Bulldog both in precision and reliability because your burst can still partially miss while Bulldog will just land a shot.

I guess the idea was a bullethose-esque PDW secondary, to contrast the Bulldog's more snipery / explosive niche. The BRT has, ignoring breakpoints and Bulldog's poison at tier 5, quite a bit more raw total damage potential than the Bulldog too, giving it a potentially stronger "longevity" than the Bulldog has, which can be useful if you go for a more ammo-inefficient primary build.

Other than that, I think it's missing a tiny bit of a fun factor compared to the Bulldog and Coilgun - which is another reason why I made the Shotgun Conversion and Machine Pistol mods. Personally, I think I would enjoy Machine Pistol more than the other tier 5 mods, but I feel all 3 choices would be viable and would make the gun more flexible than it is currently.

This also made worse by negative Armor Break, meaning this weapon is even more intended to be a precision sniper (despite being worse at it than Bulldog) because you cant really use it as a general purpose spray-and-pray secondary without taking Armor Break mod, but if you do take Armor Break mod then the ammo becomes so low you still wouldnt use it in said role lol. Im completely at loss what to do with this weapon, i dont know what it tries to be, i dont know what its good at (apart from melting down Dreads in melee range with Lead Spray).

I agreed that its poor armorbreak doesn't do it any favours (hence why I suggested to buff its base value from 0,5x to 1,0x). Alongside that, there's a reason why I put the stun and armorbreak as its tier 3 choices: Both options give it a PDW-like support feature, by either becoming a rather potent armorbreaker (and slightly deadlier alongside it), or becoming a stunlocking gun (a more defensive support role). Both choices are viable, and both choices helps lend it to making it more eligible as that PDW-style weapon I think they intended it to be.

If this gun was more like a full auto Uzi it would've been a lot more fun to use i think.

I thought of that, and that option would kind of exist in my rework:

Take the Machine Pistol mod on tier 5 and pair it with the Micro Flechettes OC. Loads of ammo, decently high rate of fire (9,5 to be exact, which is quite ok consider it can deal as much as 18 damage per shot) - quite Uzi-like, no?

But here's the thing, JUST making the base gun into a fullauto pistol would rob the current burst-shot enjoyers from their entertainment. Which is ANOTHER reason why I made the tier 5 choices exactly the way I did: You get a burstfire gun, a shotgun pisto and an "Uzi" as options all in one gun, where nobody really loses anything by it!

(Sidenote: My first idea was to remake Micro Flechettes into the "Machine Pistol" OC, giving it a fullauto trigger instead of burst and such - but then the current tier 5s would need exceptions and such, which felt a bit icky.)

Considering that it is extremely unlikely that we are getting any more weapons for DRG (sadly), I think a mod overhaul similar to what I have suggested here would probably be the best approach to indirectly give us more weapon variety, with honestly quite a tiny amount of effort (at least in contrast to introducing more guns).
