DEV NOTE
We’re making some tweaks today to some of the Medium’s automatic and semi-auto weapons. These are aimed at two problems: Improving the Medium’s chances when dueling versus the now 175 HP Lights, and providing Mediums with more viable tracking aim options in their weapon pool.
While the argument could be made that some of this could also be achieved by nerfing Light weapons, Light still lags slightly among the archetypes across many skill tiers and modes, so we’d rather target this match-up specifically. Despite Heavy losing some HP in 12.0, it appears to have coped just fine with that change, in large part because of the wide array of defensive tools it has to protect itself against a more powerful Light. We feel these buffs to Medium will be similarly handled by the Heavy, but will allow Medium versus Light match-ups to be a little more balanced.
Among the changes, we’re shifting the FCAR back towards the direction it had earlier in the life of the game, as a slower firing but more punchy weapon, differentiating it slightly further from the AKM.
It’s worth noting that these changes are ‘tweakable’ changes, changes we can deploy without needing to patch the game client because they do not require new code or content such as audio, animations or VFX. In 12.3 an additional small round of balance changes will also come to the game that are done in support of this set of changes, but we didn’t feel we should wait for those before making these adjustments.
