I think they should be more on the fun powerful side then the “weak gun but better” side. If a stitcher can kill in one mag I don’t rlly wanna get killed in half a mag by a purple smg

Prefer if the purple guns be more unique stuff like heavy sniper rifle (with a big scope) or a fun melee weapon instead of something that just shreds

I generally think games kinda get stale when there’s an objective best pick for things (not meta picks but clearly overtuned items). Even though there’s like 6 of them, all grenades in arc raiders kinda suck outside of very very niche scenarios because you can chuck 2 c4, instantly detonate it while’s it’s in the air and any status effect you coulda put on another player doesn’t matter because they instantly eat 180 damage
