Upgrading the DC-15A and S

[Bane]

Thoughts on upgrading the DC-15A and DC-15S for subunits and officers? Across the board give it 5-10 more points of damage or an increased firerate. Nothing too OP, but a tangible increase in power to reward the dedication of a trooper to get to their position. Also, thoughts on the ARC wrist blaster? How would you change it if given the choice?

Fuck No.

DC-17m	Blaster Rifle	29	480	50	232.0
Dual E-5	Blaster Rifle	29	480	50	232.0
Westar-M5	Blaster Rifle	40	330	54	220.0
DC-15s	Blaster Rifle	38	320	25	202.7
EE-3A	Blaster Rifle	38	320	36	202.7
DC-15a	Blaster Rifle	48	250	35	200.0
E-5	Blaster Rifle	40	300	35	200.0

 

Even just 5 more damage alone would increase the DPS to 229.333, this would make it on par with the westar and dc-17m.

This is equivalent to a tier 3 weapon in the credit store. If you're gonna buff that you'll have to basically buff every other single gun in the entire server to keep weapons properly distributed. All you'd be doing is inflating damage numbers, which sooner or later we're back to the hell we where in before.

10 damage would make this gun the best assault rifle in the game, outclassing all tier 5 rifles. Fuck no.

No

[Naffen]

The entire weapon base is based off these weapons damage. I'd rather not inflate the entire weapon bases damage

[Stockings]

There are already upgraded ones on the permanent weapons shop, with multiple versions of each gun. (Purge, Upgraded, DC-15LE)

Who uses the Dc-15a and s? It’s all about fist swep my man. Don’t need to worry about base damage of a gun when you got two fists.

Gonna use this post to self promote.

That stats of all perma weapons/class weapons/story weapons on the server, in an easy to view experience.
