TDW-99 Morita Tactical SMG as secondary

[Stein]

Currently this weapon is so inferior to all that no one uses it, it feels great to use it, but it is weak and consumes ammunition too quickly, it has 2 less mags and with less capacity, accuracy and range than any other morita.

My suggestion is that it should have fewer mags and/or capacity, so can be used as a secondary, without explicitly overshadowing hand guns, but as a viable option.

The idea is that it is an option and not that one weapon is always superior to all

I agree.

Pretty much only time ever use it is to replace a secondary and even then some of the secondaries I feel still outshine in certain circumstances.

I definitely agree, I recently tried using it again and it's just barely viable on Hard.

It has the effective range of a SG but less DMG than a MK1 with even less ammo and practically no stagger. Using FMJ for it defeats its purpose and makes it far weaker (imo) as the MK1 or Carbine with FMJ are still overall better, but the increased crit multiplier without FMJ doesn't mean much when the Bugs are so sped up now that hitting the weak spot consistently isn't possible most of the time, at least not against Tiger Elites or Royal Guards. Not that it should be but it's gotta have something it can do well, and right now it has no niche outside of fastest ammo depletion, even the flamethrower is more useful despite its own major flaws.

As a secondary it would give the Ranger an indirect buff that it so desperately needs right now and would give the Emancipator some competition as top sidearm. I know the EP pistol is getting something soon but I doubt it'll be anything too major considering its an early unlock and the EP weapons place as more of a side grade to their ballistic counterparts (outside of the EP CSW which outperforms the Mk3 in almost all ways).

I think the slug shotgun would make a great secondary. I am going to guess they are not moving weapons into secondary because they do not have enough primary weapons.
