Pan Balance Changes

Its entire surface blocks bullets whether it's equipped or not, giving it too much free protection.

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. Diameter

    Nerf
    Proposed adjustment
    Frying pan diameter reduced from 8.6 to 7.5 inches.
    Current issue
    The frying pan is a free shield whether it's unequipped or a solid melee weapon in close quarters, as its entire surface blocks bullets.
    Reason
    Players need to be more skilled when using it to block while going in for melee kills.
