QBZ Balance Changes

Easy to control with consistent medium-range performance, so damage comes down slightly to let other ARs compete.

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 42 to 40.
    Current issue
    The QBZ is relatively easy to control and performs consistently at medium range.
    Reason
    A small damage reduction keeps its reliability while giving other assault rifles a greater opportunity to compete with it.
