S686 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. Damage

   Nerf

   Proposed adjustment

   Damage reduced from 26 to 24.

   Current issue

   The S686 can eliminate an opponent extremely quickly with its two shots, leaving very little opportunity for a response.

   Reason

   A small damage reduction makes perfect shot placement more important while maintaining its role as a high-damage double-barrel shotgun.
