What I see is 3 popular opinions on this:
The latter is only widely spread by as much as 1 member though so we really just need to decide what sort of buff is to be applied to it. Cause no one seriously agrees that the much more expensive SCAR is superior to the AK in any way that matters.
It's not supposed to be good against big enemies so buffing it with those in mind is the completely wrong approach though.
There are 3 options:
Just raising the damage to the breaking point of 1-shotting crawlers on suicidal would mean almost going all the way back to its old damage which presumably was too much... or so it seems.
I disagree with it having been "too much" though and so do many others. So this is the "easy way", just a rollback.
A "happy medium" of 70 damage would mean 2 shots for crawlers on suicidal but 1 less shot for stalkers.
Perhaps it would also mean you can stun gorefasts again which is quite invaluable. I don't know.
This would be the compromise but why making compromises when nothing was wrong?
Damage alone isn't the only way to buff a weapon though, bullet penetration is another option to make the SCAR specifically better at mowing down trash, not at dealing with bigger targets.
This would make the SCAR a more interesting weapon that truly stands out from the other 2 commando weapons.
- The SCAR should be buffed so it's more effective against big enemies
- The SCAR should be buffed to it's more effective against small enemies
- Herp da derp, SCAR is fine, maybe nerf some moar.
