MK14 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. Full-Auto Recoil

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Recoil is increased when firing in full-auto mode.

   Current issue

   The MK14 already has extremely high damage and becomes particularly powerful when its full-auto capability is combined with its damage output.

   Reason

   Increased recoil makes sustained full-auto fire harder to control while preserving its strength as a powerful DMR.
