New weapons or balancing of current weapons

[Nero]

Might not happen for a while but it would be nice to have more guns in the game or at least balance out some of the existing firearms. Maybe some new toys like the Deagle, the protecta and m32 would be nice considering they all were in Call of Pripyat on release. As of writing, there's literally no reason to use any of the other AR's once you get the Dnipro, the SVD mk2 (the shorter one) is the best sniper, and the Rhino revolver both makes all other pistols and shotguns not even worth using. The Gauss rifle and RPG 7 having been nerfed is a strange decision considering how rare ammo is for both.

I switched out Rhino to a weaker pistol because I needed something to shoot those larger rats with as they still die in one shot but with a 20 round magazine it's a breeze and don't need to reload or waste durability on my rifle.

If I wanted to headshot people I'll just use my Dunipro but might switch to Kahrod later.

For close range it's Saiga as it drops mutant real fast and has a larger magazine than Rhino.
A good shotgun will drop enemies quickly and you almost always find a lot of shotgun rounds lying around.

They shot themselves in the foot a bit with their weapon balancing. So many cool weapons in the game with multiple different ways to spec them with upgrades and attachments, but most will go unused since they don't have high enough "penetration". Current balance makes no sense comparing to real life counterparts and I suspect, is a large contributor to the "spongey mutants" discussion.

That's actually true. Plus, you may (and probably will) find upgrade projects and accessories for specific guns at a point when they're already obsolete.

No kidding, if they made the underbarrel attachments able to be used on more than just 3 guns they might be worth using.

Yet the rhino weighs less, has more penetration, does the same amount of damage and has better accuracy. This is what i mean, when used properly the Rhino is just better overall at killing mutants (except for snorks due to their spastic movement) than shotguns ever could.

But it has 6 rounds and if I want to kill those larger rats I rather just use the pistol that use .45 acp rounds and one shot them.

For mutants I just pump them full of buckshot with Saiga.

Man i just the use the ar or a grenade on smaller game like rats and blind dogs, i mean the game practically showers you with 5.56 ammo and the rgd 5 hand grenades.
