Not every weapon in the game needs to be in line with the top options. You are literally playing a MMOFPS game, that is also a looter-shooter, and expect most weapons to be in line with top standards. The point of the game in terms of gameplay is to chase the weapons that work for your playstyle, or to chase the weapons that seek to make the game become easier. This exact mindset is why I hate Destiny 2 in terms of PvP. The community is so uptight about making this game balanced when it isn't supposed to be. This is exactly why I hated games like MW3, because the developers tried so hard to bring balance to games that weren't meant to be. This game isn't an Esports for a reason.
