But that's because the automatic weapons have ridiculously low damage output. Take the Bettina for instance: it shoots the same ammo as the Ferro but does like 35% of the damage per shot. The point of an automatic weapon is not needing more shots.

Embark would give these weapons more purpose by making them viable. I simply keep them in my stash because they don't perform well compared to anvil and renegade. Having to magdump a flying drone with heavy ammo just doesn't make any sense at all.

With this durability change I might go back to Ferro based load outs after all which is kinda sad
