What would happen if we would lower EVERY SINGLE MG by one BR?

Just been wondering since we don’t have BR1 MGs and in most situations SMGs and automatic rifles beat MGs anyways…

Personally I would argue that this could make overall gameplay slower and create more long / mid range combat.

Thoughts?

If mgs were all given suppression mechanics that made bots scatter then I think mgs could be used as a more strategic weapon. But I would also want mgs to all be nerfed, for example if they all got lowered by 1 br I’d want them all to have longer reloads and slower run speeds.

MP40 is universally a better all-round weapon, and that one isn’t even a good BR2 SMG in my oppinion

You’re saying that the MG34 is…worse…than the MP40??

If we dropped every MG by one level, then we would have no MG’s at level 5. :blush:

I know, but the question is only a hypothetical, personally I wouldn’t lower all the mgs by 1 br

interesting question.
it would create powercreep in lower BRs and not solve the problem of MGs being waaay to weak compared to ARs & Rifles in BR5.

MGs need creative & intelligent buffs. Giving them suppression like in HLL would be great and not too hard to code. Also an instant boost to immersion & realism in enlisted.

MGs are on their correct BR, its assaulter weapons that are usually undertiered.
My real question is, what if we uptiered every SMG with a BR?

Probably not much since like half of past SMG changes were -1 BR.
Maybe some akward situation for low BR Soviets though.
