I wonder if there's a "plan" if we don't actually complete all 4 in time (i'm sure we will, given that a weekend is coming up, but then again, the servers sometimes catch fire on the weekends...*)

Or will they just push them through?

* New warbond is also launching tomorrow, which, given that I couldn't play at all the day a new stratagem launched, gives one pause. Maybe I should buy credits early

I'm 100% expecting an "oops, we just mutated them and made them worse."

Punisher feels way better at the specific task of one shotting hunters, which is a narrow niche but a super valuable one. The mag size might be technically more limiting but I think the flexibility from shell reloads is nice to have vs. magazine reloads. Feels like there’s a lot of situations where having a full mag is really important and shell reloads let you top off without wasting the remaining magazine.

Secondary weapons (or at least the machine pistol) need about double their current ammo pool. As often as you end up needing to use them if you have a slow-firing/single target primary, their pool gets burned through absurdly fast.

Nah, balance is good where it is with them getting substantially less ammo - they're called 'secondary' for a reason, meaning that they are supposed to be weapons of last resort that you pull out when you're in a dangerous situation and the time spent reloading your primary might be the difference between life and reinforcement.

It's worth noting that the machine pistol has primary weapon levels of performance (it actually has better stats than most automatic primary weapons) balanced only by its low ammo reserves. Doubling the ammo reserves on it would result in... people using it as a primary weapon, when that's not the role it's meant to play.

Nah, the machine pistol is already ridiculously powerful with limited ammo being it's only downside... You're supposed to be scrounging for ammo, if you're that hard up for ammo efficiency you can swap it to semi auto.

An armor that gave you +2 secondary mags would be cool though.

Yeah the machine pistol has the same stats as the starter pistol but with (more than?) twice the mag size and RoF, it's actually kinda ridiculous how much of a straight upgrade it is since you can just put it on semi-auto if you want to conserve ammo. If I had to guess the devs thought it'd be balanced with lower hidden stats like velocity/AP but that ends up not really compensating at all.

The revolver is actually pretty decent as well, I just wish it didn't have that obnoxious triangle crosshair thing.
