Ammo Balance
Apart from the obvious issues plaguing performance and other smaller issues, I have been noticing some unusual behaviors regarding weapons and ammo.

The first is more of a bug, which is that at times randomly the game will put weapons of random type and condition into my inventory, sometimes even equipping them randomly during play. This is more of a nuisance rather than a problem with the gameplay, but it does lead to my true concern...

Ammo balancing seems to be a bit, well, vague...

There are obviously weapons with different stats and such, but a few ammo types will be chambered into multiple weapons. The problem is that the weapons and ammo types do not realistically correspond to damage outputs. A .308 round from a EMR should have better penetration and damage compared to a 9x39mm, and yet the Rhino seems to perform similar if not better with a more common round. Many weapons are actually similar to this experience, where a smaller, "weaker" round tends to perform better than more powerful ammo.

Couple this with that bug I was having, and you have issues ammo overall having balance issues. Hopefully GSC can do a bit of work on this.
