'''The FAMAS is a rank 18 gun that costs $42,000. This places it far above the AK and Thompson, so you should expect quite a bit of an improvement '''over one of them, at least. Judging from its range and accuracy stats, it serves to be an upgrade to the AK, but strangely enough, all it gains over the AK is some range and accuracy, a slightly larger magazine size, and a higher RPM (which does not lead to competitive DPS). What you trade off, however, is less total damage, less DPS, a much longer reload time, and price. And believe me, this game is not built around the fact that range and accuracy are more important than damage. Look at the SPAS-12, for example - low range and accuracy, but high damage, making it an amazing gun.

Essentially, the FAMAS is a worse 'AK-47,' but costs more. It's virtually a straight downgrade in the context of R2D.

How can we fix this?

Simple. Changing its damage from 23 to 28, an extremely easy change that I believe can probably be done in five minutes, at the most.

Changing the FAMAS' damage from 23 to 28 would make it have 2352 damage (respectable, less than Thompson and SPAS, far less than M249) and 336 DPS (more than the AK and Thompson). In my opinion, this would make it balanced.

In a perfect world, however, I would make it have 35 damage, but I am not suggesting that should be what happens. It would make it an extremely good automatic, but still not as good as the M249. I would really like it.

Please, Place. Game balance is, in my opinion, the most important part of a game. And this would be one step towards fixing R2D's many balance issues.

41 kudos should be enough to reply saying "no", at least, if you don't want to do it.
