What happened to the weapon/req level in WZ. I haven’t played WZ in a few weeks, I played yesterday and noticed they changed the weapons req levels. Now at level 3 you only get the standard down the sights BR, no scopes available until level 4. At level 4 no more H2 BR, it moved to level 5 along with the DMR.
Was there a thread on these changes maybe I missed.
The changes went live last week and were listed in the last community update.

Thanks… I looked around and didn’t find anything on the subject.
Instead of fixing the BR, they are trying to make everything else fit in with that useless weapon. All these updates since November have done nothing but break the sandbox and balance (both of which were top notch in the game) more and more.

I have to agree on this one… Why fix it if it’s not broken? I don’t mind change at all but this one takes the cake. What really surprised me was you get the standard BR without scope options… What’s the point in not being able to see the reticle your comfortable with. I can understand maybe the longshot scope on the BR but the rest of them give no advantage at all. I really don’t see any point in anything they did on this “fix”, cough, cough. Magnum rules over the BR when your at the lower req levels.
Yes this update was pretty pointless. If your going to make the BR a LVL 2 then at least have the hybrid and morph sights there too. The standard BR has horrible range now even worse than the Magnum.
Then moving the extended magnum to LVL 3 is soo ridiculous. Is having extra shots in a clip OP lol ? It’s still just a magnum.
The H2BR wasn’t OP at all it’s just the H5BR wasn’t consistent soo people would use the the H2BR almost always.
The DMR is an okay change but it still shoots too slow but it’s the best change out of the bunch. It makes me wonder the DMR with the different scopes are all LVL 5 but the BR at LVL 2 you only get the recon doesn’t make much sense .

I agree the BR really just can’t hang with the magnum.

Yeah totally. It’s amazing how they haven’t realized that the BR is mathematically worse than the Magnum and is absolutely useless unless used as a low-level sniper. Ironic since they set out to reduce cross-map kills with the updates in the first place.
Lvling down some weapons so slow guys can “defend themselves”

It’s not just the BR change that irks me, but it should’ve been a no-brainer that the Knight Blade should’ve been moved down to Level 7 since the Energy Bayonet outclasses it in usage and damage. Putting the Knight Blade at Level 7 would give players a better chance to defend themselves in a melee (and if they don’t have the Bayonet unlocked). And besides, who actually uses the thing to melee vehicles?

Yeah agreed. Just another item to expand the REQ pool.

I’ve never even used it… lol. At level 7 I’m rolling around in a tank or another vehicle.
