1.00s weapons are, in my opinion, horribly thought out. For the FAMAS and RPG, I'm assuming Place banked too much on the last R2D's usage where the FAMAS was horribly overpowered (so he turned it into fancy-looking trash) and the RPG was a huge damage dealer but was also unrefillable. For the M249, I assume that he didn't think too much about its impact in FFA.

Here are some proposed changes:

RPG:

+ Pierces Brute's forcefield

+ Damage to 2500

+ Ammo to 1/4

Why is the RPG trash at the moment? Direct hit needed to kill a Brute (virtually its only use, AND IT CAN GET BLOCKED BY FORCEFIELD), not very good against Charged Brutes (which are this game's biggest enemy, why isn't it made to counter them) and it's unrefillable. Unreliability combined with unrefillability. No thanks. At this point, it's just a cool looking rocket launcher and not much else.

Here's what the changes would do:

- Piercing the Brute's forcefield would make the RPG much more reliable, and make it infinitely less frustrating for when you're shooting at a Brute. Sure, you can wait for the chance where it's out of stamina and defenseless, but this weapon is bad enough. This should be THE WEAPON against Ch Brutes, and it isn't.

- Increasing the damage to 2500 is a sweet spot in my opinion. >5000 and it will one shot Charged Brutes, which for me is simply too powerful. There should be SOME counterplay and SOME chance for a Charged Brute to do something. One shotting it would make them essentially useless, especially when the ammo is raised along with these buffs. This means that you no longer need a direct to one shot normal Brutes, and it heavily damages Charged ones, threatening them quite a bit.

- Increasing the ammo to 1/4 gives you five rockets, which means that you do not have to save it for a special situation. You want to get a free Brute kill? Fire away, you should AT LEAST be getting one or two free ones when you buy this weapon that was intended to wreck them.

FAMAS:

+ Damage to 25

+ Reload time to 1seconds.

Simply put, the FAMAS is just AK with slightly more range. That's it, for a four rank higher, $4000 more, gun. Halving the reload time leads to more uptime, which puts it on par with the AK-47. 25 damage puts it at a respectable ~312 DPS, and gives it slightly more total damage than the AK. Coupled with the fact that it has great reload time would finally mean it's a respectable weapon.

M249:

- Decrease damage to 60 in FFA and TDM.

With this nerf, you have 500 DPS and you're a sitting duck for snipers. You shred people up close, but from afar you're useless, and even up close you're beatable. This is much better compared to getting killed with Bulldozer 2 in two seconds, is it not? It's simple.

I'm not too sure on all of these, but what I am sure of is that they're infinitely better than what stats they have now. And at the very least:

BUFF THE FAMAS AND RPG, NERF M249 IN FFA AND TDM. plEASE papa place.
