PUBG · High Tier

MG3 (990 RPM) Balance Changes

Its fastest firing setting eliminates targets almost too quickly for a light machine gun.

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. Time Between Shots

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Time between shots increased from .06 to .064s at its fastest setting.
    Current issue
    The MG3 can produce extremely high damage output at its fastest firing setting, allowing players to eliminate targets very quickly.
    Reason
    Reducing the rate of fire lowers its burst potential while maintaining its role as a powerful light machine gun.
