I can confidently say the br feels very bad to use on mnk. Since its the starting weapon for ranked i’d say it has a big impact on my enjoyment of the game. It just doesnt feel good to use. I d say the sidekick and the commando feel better on mnk and those guns have rng bloom! I dont want to tap into the mnk vs controller imbalance since its been talked to death and since the game’s own pros say mnk stands no chance against controller but somethng needs to be done about how bad the br feels on mnk. To be honest i would be glad if the br got replaced with the leaked dmr in ranked in the future. 343 should start caring about their mnk community before the few who stayed abandon the game as well.
Did you miss the BR nerf that went down tuesday?
BR75
Sandbox Team Dev Note: We want the BR75 to remain the versatile weapon we know and love, but also have noticed it has been performing a bit too well – making it not feel as rewarding as it should. In the Winter Update, we wanted to raise the skill ceiling on landing the final kill shot as well as reduce its effectiveness at range from the hip. These changes should help make kills with the BR75 feel even more rewarding.
Tuning details:
- Headshot Prioritization Angle reduced from 0.25 to 0.2 degrees
- Bullet Magnetism Angle reduced from 2.4 to 2.2 degrees
- Bullet Magnetism Range reduced from 20wus to 18wus
- Bullet Magnetism Falloff Range reduced from 12wus to 10wus

Thats for the controller. The gun always felt terrible on mnk. This is not about the controller. Its about mnk. The gun is just is not fun to use. Also the br nerf is for long range. The issue is close to mid range where 90% of the engagements are. 343 needs to make this gun feel better on mnk.
Improvements are coming to M&KB with the PC update.

The BR should lose the vertical recoil across both inputs.
That one change alone would both make it more MnK friendly while also rewarding players for actually targeting the head with the final burst instead of just continuing to shoot center mass and letting the recoil land the headshot for them.
Sure, it would be even more deadly at range, but they could just cut down it’s aim assist range so actually placing those shots requires precision. Right now while zoomed it gets aim assist across seriously nutty sightlines. Far outranging it’s Halo 2/3 counterparts. Switching it to a 2x Zoom instead of 3 would also be a good call.

they only thing they’ve actually talked about is red reticle for PC. which is great they’re adding something people asked for; anybody who’s played this game for a minute knows the effective range and context of weapons and it’s kind of moot. not an improvement in controls, just accessibility.
it’s been a whole year of asking for help/improvements (not including the pre-release flighting) and this is all they’ve announced. it’s awfully optimistic to think it’s going to get any more viable at any point
