M79 Balance Changes

Obstructs enemy vision almost instantly and creates too many blind spots at once.

Tier High Tier
Direction Nerfs
Proposed changes 1 · 1 nerf

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. Detonation Time

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Detonation time when hitting the ground from beyond 10m increased from 0 to 1 second.
    Current issue
    This has a very strong benefit of obstructing enemy vision almost instantly and creating multiple places to keep the player from landing an accurate shot.
    Reason
    The set-up should take longer to activate.
