Rocket sidearms feel like everything Trace Rifles should have been. They have great ammo economy, they are great for ad clear and majors, and while they aren't the best option for bosses and champions, they are better than primaries, plus they are the only special that can active heavy ammo finder mods. My thoughts; -Increase TR range and damage fall off by 10 meters. Currently, they sit around 35 meters, so this would push them into pulse rifle territory and make them much more effective in end-game content. This would also make them more deserving of their special ammo. -Increase damage vs. minors and majors by 30%. This should help their ammo economy by requiring fewer shots for a kill and make them more effective in end-game content. -Reduce recoil and screen shake. As a pure energy weapon, there should be minimal recoil, especially since they are so reliant on precision hit. -Ability to activate heavy ammo finder mods. While this is probably a bug, honestly, I feel that ad clear focused specials have more of place in the sandbox. -Give them unique TR focused perks. Shotguns have perks like trench barrel, fusions have perks like reservoir burst, so TR should have perks like: Laser Cutter- sustained damage reduces a targets armor and damage resistances by 20% for 10 seconds. Or Blinding Light- rapidly landing 10 crits on a target blinds them for 3 seconds and reduces their tracking, accuracy, and aim assist by 50% for 10 seconds. -Increase reserves by 50-100 ammo. -Add more subarchetypes. I would love to new frames like: Projection Frame - TR fires a cone of energy that is 15 meters long and 6 meters at the widespread point. They deal more body damage, but can't deal crit damage. Or Overcharged Frame - beams cause small 3 meter explosions after a short delay, but have smaller magazines and reserves. All these changes should greatly help them out in pve with making them oppressive in pvp
