    Since when does the Magnum have a “considerably faster” time to kill?

    Pistol has about a 1.28s opt ttk, and about a 1.78 body shot ttk.

    Default AR has a 1.1s opt ttk and a 1.3 body shot ttk.

    Tell me, which weapon has the distinct advantage? The AR clearly does.

    My AR has a 1.3 opt ttk and a 1.7 body shot ttk. As it's easier to miss with the Pistol than the AR, the AR maintains the advantage in its niche role in CQC. This is further supported by its quicker body shot ttk.

    What these setting do is empowers the pistol and reinforces it's role as a utility weapon, which is the ultimate hold out weapon that can COMPETE against all ranges, but isn't the best at any.

    I’m assuming that the optimal time to kill for the AR is all headshots. Realistically, you’re never going to land that many headshots, even at a somewhat close range. Plus, the AR has bloom. The Magnum is still a reliable weapon.

    So what? Assuming that you land zero headshots, the ar ttk still has the same ttk as a perfect with the magnum.

    The ar has a higher average ttk while being easier to use. Also, bloom or not, the ar is extremely accurate, especially with smark scope.

    Its just not right.

    Well, as the proverb goes, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't force him to drink", or as I find more fitting here, "you can't argue with stupid". As you clearly will pull anything out of your ass to argue against the settings, how about you just go along your way instead of being an ignorant nuisance.

    If all you have to throw at me are childish insults then I see no reason why I should spend my time discussing something with someone whose opinion has just lost all value to me.

    See, the irony here, is that you're the one discussing opinion while I've been laying down factual backing in support of my arguements. Why should I spend the time debating with someone that's buried their head in the sand and are incapable of basing their arguements on a factual foundation? The epitome of your arguement has literally been "the AR is fine, deal with it".

    Edgy settings to splinter the community. Disgusting schnitzel.

    Is base damage all that's going to be tweaked?

    Base damage wasn't touched. Just health and melee.

    But yeah, that's all I'm tweaking.

    Jeez, I never thought I'd receive so much hate for just expressing an opinion on weapon balance.

    Settings have been given the tentative name of "better settings". Also somethingto note, changing the name of a saved gametype resets the settings to default.

    @SecretSchnitzel Maybe you could ask a bunch of people for what sounds good for the name. Better is all right for a temporary name though

    Oh yeah, forgot to mention I'm open to different names. Personally, I'm hoping the forgehub staff might rally behind it. FH Throwdown Settings has a nice ring to it. ;)
