as it stands, we all know that auto rifles just aren't viable in PvP but I have yet to see anybody suggest any good ideas on how to handle the situation. the problem with buffing auto rifles without doing anything else is the mere existence of machine guns. machine guns were made to out class auto rifles in PvP in every which way because they are a heavy weapon. which is completely understandable. the problem with just buffing auto rifle damage without changing machine guns is that machine guns would no longer be of much benefit because any buff to machine gun damage would make them super over powered (they're already a 3-5 shot kill. a damage buff would make them 2-4, which would be insane). with that being said, I'll start off with what I think is a good idea for a rearrangement of sorts to make auto rifles more viable in PvP. The changes are as follows: buff auto rifle damage so that they are sufficiently viable and aren't outclassed by every other class in PvP first and foremost. then change machine guns so that they do the same damage per shot that auto rifles do BUT have an EXTREMELY high RoF, Stability, and possibly range (it'd be cool to be given the option to prop MG's on a ledge for increased range/stability because that's how machine guns are actually used or some other fun mechanic like that) so that they are still super effective as heavy weapons and they still out class auto rifles and people have a good reason to choose to still use machine guns over them. I've left a poll for everybody to give their opinions on this. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
