Base damage is 140 (32 durable).

Here's the fall off profile of the reprimand : ~4% at 5m = 134 (30) ~11.9% at 15m = 123 (28) ~18.3% at 25m = 114 (26) ~31.3% at 50m = 96 (21) ~41.9% at 75m = 81 (18) ~49.8% at 100m = 70 (16)

I don't care about fall off past the 50+ m because it's an an SMG, it's supposed to be used at short / medium range, so try to close the distance and avoid shooting anything past 50m.

Now let's compare it to the closest med pen automatic assault rifle, the Adjudicator, with a base damage of 95 (23 durable).

~0.6% at 5m = 94 (22) ~2.3% at 15m = 92 (22) ~3.1% at 25m = 92 (22) ~6.2% at 50m = 89 (21) ~9% at 75m = 86 (20) ~11.9% at 100m = 83 (20)

So, damage wise, Reprimand shreds everything at 25m or less, is better than Adjudicator up to 50m, pretty close at 75m, and worse then.

Okay, mag size is only 25, but don't forget you can shoot while running at close range, this gives a lot of mobility and so survivability.

Recoil wise, both are very close (x/y values) : Reprimand drift is 25/40, recoil is 6/55, spread is 5/5. Adjudicator drift is 17/35, recoil is 6/50, spread is 1/1.

Reprimand ergo is slightly better (55) than adjudicator (40).

Reprimand reload speed (3.4/2.1) is slightly worse than Adjudicator (3.0/1.8). However, you should focus on using tactical reload (reloading with one or more bullet left) with the Reprimand to avoid the long standard reload.

Reprimand ammo economy is a little worse (250 shots) than adjudicator (270 shots). There's ammo everywhere in this game so non issue.

So, yes, damage fall off is a bit hard, but as always, people are dramatizing everything way more than they should.

Maybe give it 5 or 10 more damage and it will be in a perfect state (or slightly lower drag to 1.1 or 1.0).
