Just some additional points, honestly not trying to argue that 600s arent strong currently. Though I don't feel that's a bad thing personally. More primary archetype optimal ttks should come more closer to 0.7 to make special weapon OHK potential less oppressive, but that's another discussion entirely. Honestly there's lot more gun archetypes and frames that need more urgent help than aggressive pulses. The 0.03 ttk difference is non-existent. Lotta sweats still use 150 hand cannons with 0.8 without issues while being the most competetive they can. The optimal ttk really just becomes a valid argument when you start going over 0.8 and towards 0.9, which really is towards the slower end and can easily start costing you fights. For an 600 rpm autos to shoot beyond 30 meters without dropoff you need the highest zoom scopes. The low zoom scoped and the barrel perked 600s are automatically out of that category, pretty sure they function in the hand cannon ranges capping out around 30 meters. Then the only relevant scoped 600s are forward path and ether doctor. No one uses the doctor, so the argument then is the Path. The path's definetly a strong gun, being able to shoot to the ranges it can cap out at with a max range stat + highest zoom scope. But you are still giving up the ease of use a low zoom scope would provide in closer quarters for the high zoom alternative. The highest zoom scopes also give it more effective zoom than sacred provenance / non-scoped aggressive pulses have, so provenance brings the same performance for lesser / easier to use zoom. And with scoped highest zoom aggressive pulses the effective range goes beyond 40 meters respectively. I'd argue aggressive pulses are still in a good place and unless you meet the 1 guy running a max range highest zoom forward path, you'll still have a 10 meter advantage over 600s in the longest ranges. And even closer up the optimal ttk is effectively the same. 0.03 really is nothing. There are also a lot of other weapon archetypes with low handling. It gives them identity, and I'm not sure the correct answer is to just give everything high handling so nothing stands out in that category. Might as well remove the stat and make the stow/ready + ADS speeds a constant then. Handling perks / mods exist for a reason. Also how do pulses deal with flinch worse than autos? Not sure I see that point. 180s, 450s and 110s are some examples of archetypes that actually need help and have for a long time now. They're arguably completely irrelevant in a competetive sandbox comparison.

How about lightweight frame pulse rifles? 450rpm at 25 a crit.. adaptive frame autos are 600rpm at 26 a crit. No need for complex maths here😂

drop autos range fall off to 25 to 27 meters for 600 and 720 rpm autos 600 rpm autos need to go to previous damage values before they got buffed they were still viable weapons just not super strong. Hand cannons need a buff to range and 140s and 110s need a damage buff to be more forgiving to get their optimal ttk Other autos need a buff to make them more forgiving in getting their fastest ttk and high impacts should go back to where they were but have a little more range added on

Good. Aggressive frame pulses were a mistake and I kinda wish none of them survived sunsetting. pulse rifles in general, but mostly aggressive frame pulses invalidate scout rifles and the flinch they give to scouts and snipers is way too much. The fact that a pulse rifle could effectively dual and counter scouts and snipers at range was way too much. Go dismantle your dad furnace.
