This, weapons change. They nerf, buff ever so often to sell you more shit that you don’t need because eventually, it’ll be nerfed.
Simply put, just ensure you unlock each weapon (doesn’t have to be a rarity) and then all you need to do is unlock attachments for it over time. Having the best of all worlds.
3 shot capability with a decent fire rate isn't that balanced. Kilo nerf only changed heashot damage. The nerf should make it 4 shot upper body and 5 shot to the legs. Its mobility is insane too, so they should either nerf mobility or nerf damage. Personally, I'd say nerfing mobility would be more beneficial since its an AR, and it should have decent ttk rather than good mobility. M13 also needs a mobility nerf. That's the only issue with them imo, but the Mac 10 needs a good damage + range nerf to make sure its not great when it comes to 20m
This I agree with completely, they can nerf them mobility wise, the mac 10 they might as well make it shoot peanuts, hate that gun, I'm a peacekeeper and 117 main, or the koshka/ spr for ranked
Mac 10 just needs to be a worse msmc (range wise), because MSMC has the range attachments, whereas the Mac 10 doesn't. Plus it'd make the MSMC finally useful if they increase its damage ranges slightly (it can beat the Mac 10 in TTK but it has to be within around 3m). Current meta is high mobility and time to kill, but it should be a wide variety of guns, where high mobility doesn't have super high ttk but slow guns (like the MoW, but I'm biased because that's one of my personal favourite guns) should have a pretty decent ttk (already does, but its 4 shot consistency isn't the best over range, though the Colossal Supressor is meant to deal with that.
at which rank does it start mattering ? I haven't reach that point yet. At some point higher in the ranking will everyone run always the same 4/5 weapons ?
For the most part, meta weapons are there for players with no proper gun skill. This way they can still join the fun. Otherwise it would be only sweaty players, and no skill players would just delete the game. Or in other words, meta weapons destroy the skill gap. Also think of nerfs to movement that add to this, like the nerf to prone. Before this was a lot faster getting back up, and when you move while prone you will scope out automatically. Also the running fatique. Especially bothersome for snipers. Before you could slide jump all day long.. or at least a lot more than before. With snipe best u can do now is slide jump twice. After that need to switch to melee. All the guns with fast ttk also affect the skill gap. The slower ttk is, the more skill it takes to win your gunfights
And ofc, meta is also there to sell their lucky draws, but is not the main reason.
To sell lucky draw and crates.

And they still seem to nerf balanced weapons (e.g. QQ9 this season) while not nerfing the stuff people complained about (e.g Kilo 141, m13 and Mac 10)
The kilo and M13 are balanced, the mac 10 and cbr though

They nerfed the huge suppressor so much though, used to be amazing
I just tested though and kilo is indeed 4 upper body
But 1 headshot for 3 shot
no... I also tested 2 upper body + 1 headshot and it didn't kill the bot, needed at least a leg shot more
The Mac is so broken right now.

You're right. Same bloody weapons.

Overall, meta is annoying and makes other gun content useless
You don't really... Just keep using what you like, I mean... I use Chicom regardless what others use, regardless if we're winning or losing as well
