Weapons and Gear
Devs’ Notes: In this patch, we have implemented several adjustments aimed at stabilizing weapon balance following the winter season release.
Main issues addressed:
- Excessive power of the Winchester SXP and MAG-7. These two shotguns overshadowed the rest of the Medic's arsenal, creating a significant performance imbalance between Medic and other classes.
- Overpowering versatility of the CZ Scorpion EVO and FAMAE SAF-200. To address this, we are reducing their TTK (Time to Kill) when firing at the body and introducing a new competitor for these SMGs—the PP-2011 Kedr-Para. This will diversify the Engineer's weapon arsenal and give more room for other submachine guns.
- ST Kinetics CPW low effectiveness. The weakest of the current top pistols, falling behind even the standard Maxim-9. This pistol receives a significant buff to compete for the sidearm slot.
Other adjustments: weapons that have lately lost popularity, despite their relatively recent release, have also been improved. We will continue to analyze the effectiveness of the weapons available to players and make balance adjustments as needed.

Devs' Note: the rebalance aims to increase the accuracy requirement, as currently, throwing a grenade requires minimal effort and almost always results in damage or a kill.
