Weapon balancing?

[WuIf]

Just wanted to discuss what u guys think:

In my opinion firearms a far to strong just right from the start.
Why? Becaus you don't really have to skill them until u do some good damage. I never skilled a single point in accuracy and give headshot one after another over far distances.

This games is very based on the avatar's skills. So this should also be the real case with firearms. For example shaking zoom, when using a sniper rifle and you havent skilled something for it.
More recoil when u use a machinegun you are not used to. I think its somehow strange, when i run around with my melee-skilled char and kill everything with headshots. No implants bought. No skills skilled, which should be needed to do so.

Though: Like its now, many of the skill/implant-aspects are just annihilated, and this part of the game needs balancing.

Wha tdo u think?

Cheers

I agree that gunplay is the primary way to put out good hurt in this game. My first char was melee/lightarmor and while I was super fast and could one hit ppl with the default katana, I still had to .50 cal the helecopters and use heavy armor/minigun to beat the last level.

Melee and stealth only become viable after many upgrades. Melee is way better with Dragon (teleport to guy and instakill), but you need 65 Psi and 42 Med, something my str/agi/end char just didnt have (not to mention the fatal wounds). Stealth is just bugged because enemies still see you when you are cloaked, they just dont attack until you decloak, but they are working on the AI for the patch.

Lovin my med armor pistol priest tho, High Psi and Acc makes for a fun time. High Acc + rifles is ez mode so I dont use it, pistols look cooler, feel cooler, and provide more rewarding challenge (until you turn on targeting mode and aimbot people :D) Yes I'd say guns are OP

Yes the .50 is just to OP. 2 headshot and the Mentor goes down.....oc I never really skilled to be good with this weapon...
