If I'm reading the news post correctly...Any one with T5 gear will have a substantial advantage over anyone else...it's going to create a new level of toxic elitism and pressure to perform and hard gatekeeping in LFG and clans
Carrying services will be booming...
And that's not even including the PVP problem of the same gun having wildly different stats and capabilities...if you don't have T5 you will just get out played regardless as your opponent will have all tactical advantages through gear alone...so...any bets on when the hard nerf post launch is?

On top of that you get a 6% damage boost on every weapon in pvp just for 200 weapon stat. Ttk shifts from 0.8 to 0.6 or even 0.5 for several long range options without the need of a damage perk. That in addition to only 60 recovery with no way to build into it will lead to even slower game play reminiscent of 17th century firing lines. I can't wait /s Lobby balancing is already completely screwed anyways. Hardly any close matches and I don't blame anyone for leaving the laggy mess lobby balancing cobbles together these days. I just gave up trying to play, closed the game and canceled my pre-order. Only got it to play with friends in the 1st place but the game is just too bad and the upcoming grind is not enticing at all imo.
