Pistol is way too weak. AR is too OP or tends to be inaccurate, inconsistent.
I agree, especially on big maps, what makes sense to me is to instead start with the BR and the AR, I’m pretty sure you use to start off with those weapons in prev games and it made sense because of the size of the maps BR for ranged AR for up close.
I think the starting weapons are fine for BTB specially considering how the AR is decent at range somehow.
