PTS-3 significantly change weapons handling parameters for exotic, but again developers showed a lack of attention to details and forgot to make appropriate corrections for branded sets.
Now bonuses for two piece "Petrov Defense Group" and three piece "Overlord Armaments" grants 10% to reloading speed, swap speed, accuracy, stability.
When other brands add bonus only to one attribute per using piece. For example "Fenris Group AB" grants only +10% reloading speed with two pieces.
So with such balance no point to use brands like Douglas and Harding.
It's three ways how to fix it:
1. Improve bonuses for weak brands sets. For example increasing bonus for "Fenris Group AB" to + 20% reloading speed instead of previous value.
2. Reduce bonuses for strong brands and set weapons handling bonus to 5%.
3. Significantly increasing bonus for three piece for weak brands. For example "Fenris Group AB" now gives +10% stability, but after buff can give +30% stability. In this case, bonus for two piece still will grants +10% reloading speed.

Developer comment: This together with the change to Ongoing Directive was done to make Accuracy/Stability/Reload Speed have a more noticeable benefit on brand/gear set bonuses alongside the improvements to Weapon Handling.
