We all know that Cubic.Games just made the Primary category technically as the "secondary" category since primary guns are no match against snipers. And this is what Im complaining about, they nerfed like all the snipers to like 2-6 shots (depends what gun). Like the most powerful sniper, the Anti-Champion Rifle became a two shot kill to the head which is dumb seeing its fire rate is 56. And then primary, the excalibur, secret forces rifle and even the impulse rifle were all nerfed to the core! They even nerfed my favourite gun, Black Mamba. Now that I thinm about it, they could probably had just made the guns cheeper and maybe easier to get instead of nerfing them like srsly the reason ppl ask for guns to be nerf is because they themselves cant affird them. So next time instead of nerfing, they could probably try reducing the price. And as for the nerfed primaries, I believe they made the right choice (except for Secret Forces Rifle, that thing needs a buff). The Excalibur is just too OP, it's a FRICKIN minigun where you could use it for both LONG range AND SHORT rage.

Excalibur's OPness: Can be used for ALL ranges, Deadly Accurate, High Fire Rate, High DPS.

And as for the Black mamba: I get it, but if you think about it, an assault rifle with the ability to 5-6 shot anyone and inflict SLOWNESS AND POISON on them. That's a little bit too much now, is it?

And besides, The Fire Rates of the Excalibur will make this damage nerf almost unnoticeable. Before the Update, Snipers rule, but not all the time. However, the only Primaries to rule are the ones with OP stats and Status effects.

A gun that boosts your Armour? Adds Extra Damage Reduction? Super fast Firing rate? DEADLY accuracy? AND it's a Minigun? How can you complain if they nerf a gun like this? If you complain, then you too have been infected by the majority of the player base. Sticking to only OP weapons for easy kills and easy wins.

Think about it, the NEW Devs are (mostly) nerfing guns who deserve it, guns that have the "Slow Targets Down ability," or "Poison," or "Armor Boosts." By doing this, the Devs are forcing you to make a decision:

- Use a gun with higher Damage/Efficiency.

- Use one with USEFUL status boosters, but OK efficiency. (Wallbreak, 10x zoom, Critical Damage, Armor Boosting, Damage Reduction, Slow Targets Down, Ricochet, Area Damage, etc.)

Nerfing the Snipers, was a much needed and LONG overdue nerf. Nerfing OP weapons from each category to give chances for other weapons to shine? That's also a MUCH needed nerf and balance change for PG3D.
