R1985 Balance Changes

Its slow reload makes close-quarters use risky, so it leans further into being an effective ranged weapon.

Balance Philosophy

For every weapon between B tier and the bottom of the list, apply one buff to help it compete with better-rolled loot.

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. Zero Range (Minimum)

    Buff
    Proposed adjustment
    Minimum zero range increased from 50 to 75m.
    Current issue
    Its slow reload speed makes it risky to use in close quarters.
    Reason
    Being more effective at range gives better chances to reload safely.
