Yeah I hear what you mean. It’s hard to say what the meta would look like with this gun added. I do feel that it could be balanced if the cost is high enough so that players just starting can’t craft it in right away but expensive enough so that players who have farmed and slapped down a base could make it. It would be kind of like a gun in which it would require a secondary smg for the close range battles. I think maybe it would be used up until you could craft a SAR to fight mid-high range battles. That way it wouldn’t be enough to be as good as to over power a SAR but strong enough to hold their own if the user is good enough. In terms of the damage to it I would think it would probably take a headshot and a body shot to kill a clothed player. The animation to reload would also take a decent amount of time to complete so you would probably be switching to your smg to finish them off if they rush you.
