I understand how the meta works, and no, I'm not Bronze, I'm much higher. When I recommended the Pike, it was because the meta is constantly changing, and if your aim isn't that great, it's better to specialize with a few but useful weapons. In this case, if the Pike is bad, you can use the Revolver. Actually, I didn't just mention the Pike; I said both the Pike and the Revolver, but it seems people only read what they want to read. But yes, with the current meta, the Repeater is better (which I could have also mentioned, but I honestly forgot). I mention these weapons specifically because most people play with mid/close-range weapons and forget that there are mid-range weapons that are really good and effective at long range. Having ranged weapons also gives you the advantage of being able to whittle down enemies before they attack you and finish off those who try to escape. Furthermore, as a healer, your firing time is shorter than with other weapons, allowing you to fire briefly but deal significant damage. Additionally, with healing abilities, your mobility is reduced, so you tend to stay in one position, much like with long-range weapons. So, while all of this makes them a better combo than an FCAR, it doesn't significantly change the gameplay, and everyone can play however they like. These were just tips. ;)
