Dragunov Balance Changes

Balance Philosophy

For every weapon between A and S tier, apply one nerf to one aspect of it so it's not completely dominant on the battlefield.

Proposed Changes

Each entry lists the move or ability affected, the adjustment itself, and — where the analysis states one — the problem it is meant to solve and the reasoning behind it.

1. Damage

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Damage reduced from 63 to 60.

   Current issue

   It combines high damage with the ability to fire follow-up shots faster than bolt-action rifles.

   Reason

   Reducing its damage prevents it from approaching the effectiveness of the strongest sniper rifles while retaining its advantage as a semi-automatic weapon.
