MP5K Balance Changes

A fast firing rate and manageable recoil let it put out high close-range damage too consistently.

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 33 to 31.
    Current issue
    The MP5K has a fast firing rate and manageable recoil, allowing it to produce high close-range damage consistently.
    Reason
    Reducing damage prevents it from becoming too effective at medium range while retaining its strength as an SMG.
