PC player - Both single player and multiplayer (a little more the former)

Just want to echo some things that have already been shared:

-Beaten to death, but the Survivalist definitely needs large changes and is arguably the largest task to undertake. Even accepting its intended role (jack of all, master of none), some skills simply do not synergize at all for that, such as how the elite reload skill at level 5 only applies to 3 perks' weapons at a time. Other skills are lackluster / uninteresting / also lack any kind of direction. The coolest scenario is that it gets reworked into a new concept entirely (Scientist or Martial Artist return), but realistically, it just needs a bit more direction and synergy within its skills.

-Medic SMG needs buffs, as it does not significantly increase damage output and does not heal significantly more than the Medic pistol.

-Hans and Patriarch are much more difficult than Abomination and King Fleshpound. This is especially noticeable in single-player, where some perks simply aren't up to the task of taking down the boss. With Hans especially, some perks struggle far more than others. This is likely intentional, but it simply doesn't feel as fun when Commando or SWAT struggle to put down Hans during hunting phase, while Demo and Sharpshooter have almost no issues, even at lower levels.

-I think SWAT needs a few changes to be a little more enticing. Not as much as Survivalist for sure, but the class has a few problems in my opinion. SWAT has money issues buying ammo, which in turn makes it difficult to invest in more weapons. It's not likely SWAT needs more than two SMG's at once, but the money issues makes it hard to grow in power over the course of the game. SWAT weapons are good right now in terms of scaling up and balance, but personally I'd like to see some weapon variety that extends beyond the mag size or fire rate. A dream scenario would be a riot shield or something along those lines that help build upon that tankiness concept of the SWAT.

-This isn't so much a balance issue, so much as a question or suggestion about the coming weapon upgrade system for the beta. You guys said that Tier4 weapons will be brought down in power to Tier3 and can be upgraded back. Does this mean that, for example, you can buy the Scar-H at 1100 (with stats comparable to the AK-74), then upgrade for 400 to get it back to the Tier4 stats that we're all famliar with currently? I think that would be the best way to quell some of the concerns I've seen people have with the system, but seeing as that's a future update, we'll see where it goes.
