We see they balance this with the energy sword in arena by making a relic sword but for some automatics such as assault rifle, SMG, plasma rifle and storm rifle the changes are somewhat justified in arena but not so for warzone.
Wouldn’t it make sense to have all assault rifle variants except for the normal Projection assault rifle to be pre nerf, and the same said for SMG but with the CQB SMG. For plasma rifle just recolour it blue for arena, and undo the nerfs for all the other variants for warzone. Introduce a ‘relic’ storm rifle for arena and have pre nerf storm rifles for warzone.
As it stands its just precision, precision everywhere. 343 cannot be lazy and needs to fix this.
