October Meta Shakeup

The October balance update has officially landed, targeting several outlier weapons that have dominated the competitive scene for far too long. These sweeping adjustments finally prioritize core balance over pure power creep.

Key Adjustments

  • Weapon Tuning: High-damage rifles receive recoil penalties to reward skill-based play.
  • Fire Rate: Over-performing automatic weapons now have reduced fire caps to normalize DPS.

Stat Shifts

  • Assault Rifle: 450 RPM ➔ 🔴 420 RPM

Minor stability fixes and UI cleanup included. Finally, the devs are actually listening to our complaints.
