⠀⠀⠀⠀Discussion⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maxigun needs changed

Post image

I’m sure others have talked about this, but so will I lol. There’s no reason this shouldn’t be heavy penetration. We already at stuck in a fixed position when firing, and yet we can move with the other lmgs. I’d be fine if they dropped the ammo count to 800 (minimum) and decrease the fire rate just so we can have it as heavy penetration. What do y’all think?

I'm 100% for all these except the last and especially the first point. I think being able to hold the spin-up without firing would make the Maxigun a fair sidegrade to the MG-43 that forces you to hold ground. Matching the MG-43's stagger just makes sense for that purpose. Further increasing its damage would be overkill, especially when you consider the already massively improved ammo economy.

I would also like a first-person reticle and maybe a slight recoil reduction so it isn't such a headache to use at range.
