    When are weapons going to get a balance?

    Log in and my lame 416 is still OP.

    When is the FAL, going to be worth using. Who made this game, the FAL is a 308, it is the biggest cartridge in the bunch; and yet it does less damage than some of the 5.56 rifles. You know the ak fires 7.62x39 which is smaller than a 308 on power, yet the AK is still top dmg per hit.

    I really want all of the guns to be worthwhile and they should all have their aspects, so far the 2 rifles and the rest are junk scenario has been disappointing.

    Shotguns, are pretty much unusable in PVE.
    SMG builds are lackluster, and also are not worthwhile.

    Come on Ubisoft you can do better.

    Well shotguns got a well deserved buff in PVE right now (still unsure if Spas-12 was actually nerfed). But going from what they said and how they are doing stuff, TU6 will be either weapons or loot rebalancing and TU7 probably to whicever didn't get balanced in TU6. They are doing update drops as well as big balance drops focused in a single aspect, such as the specialization rebalances and skills rebalances, so naturally weapons or loot should be the next one as they commented that is coming but cannot talk without having a clear picture of the plan

    There are only a few bottom f tier guns.

    Almost every gun type isnuseable in almost all content.

    Really, because last time I checked Aug(AR), ACR, FAL, RPK's, MG5 are pretty trash tier.

    The ACR isn't bad, and the MG5 with an extended mag is friggin' AMAZING. Especially with the Gunner spec.

    They can be used to complete all content with a proper build set up.

    Contrary to popular belief, s tier classes are NOT good for games. The guns you mention can perform anywhere in reliable scenarios which excludes them from being f tier.

    Same with the SOCOM Mk20 -- the only MMR with negative weapon handling and despite having no unhinged present >_<

    Weapons will be rebalanced when Division 10 is announced.

    Couldn't have been checking that well yes the FAL is a joke it's my favourite weapon but its damn awful in this game.

    As for the ACR it's a rather good weapon with the right set up/build.

    As for the RPK's I have one with my LMg build and it wrecks also I have an MG5 with Unhinged/allegro and protected reload (100 round mag at 880RPM) it stops anything.

    Yeah but using the acr, the rpk or anything else is hindering yourself compared to top tier guns.
