VSS Balance Changes

Suppressed fire that's hard to trace combined with a high rate of fire adds up to too much killing power.

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 43 to 41.
    Current issue
    The VSS benefits from being suppressed and having a high rate of fire, making it difficult for opponents to identify where shots are coming from.
    Reason
    A slight damage reduction keeps its stealth advantage while reducing its overall killing power.
