Reduced the minimum damage of the Gewehr 43 and Selbstlader 1916 to 33.5 from
35.
Increased the damage for the Mk VI Revolver. Two-hit kill range is now 12 m
(previously 7 m), three-hit kill range is 30 m (previously 12 m), four-hit kill range is 50
m (previously 30 m). Minimum damage is now 22 instead of 15. Damage dropped too
steeply for the rate of fire and magazine capacity of this weapon.
WHO IS DESIGNING THESE CHANGES???
To be clear:
The Gewehr is the best gun in the game and this change does nothing to it
The revolver is the best pistol/is a shotgun and is now even more overpowered
Got to love the added recoil to the 1907 as well. Hardly anyone uses it as it is, at least not that I’ve come across, so why nerf it? I think they pull their data out of their tbh.
Meanwhile other weapons that desperately need attention go untouched…
Yes, I am saying that the buff is a joke and that a one shot headshot or 2 shot body shot up close is also a joke. There is no reason to use another pistol before or after this patch if you can actually aim.
This is a much needed change, since the assault semi-autos are incredibly overpowered right now, outdamaging all recon weapons (which should be the long range weapons).
The damage drop-off of the revolver was insanely high, changing it was also much needed.
However this change might be a bit over the top.
It also got a buff:
I think the changes to the M1907 SF are good, as this gun was unbeatable.
It was a mistery to me why so few people used it.
People are whining over changes they haven’t even tested themselves yet…
The Gewehr was not nerfed hard enough. As far as I know 33.5*3 is still over 100 damage which is still a 3 shot minimum damage kill. Please correct me if I’m wrong there, as there are no weapon data to go off of because DICE killed off it’s entire community.
Whining? No, I actually know how to balance a game because I’m competent at it.
33.5 * 3 is 100.5 while 35 * 3 is 105, while I agree that it is still a bit high, it’s a step in the right direction and can make a significant difference.
Would you care to elaborate how DICE “killed off it’s entire community”?.
Then why don’t you work for DICE, hm?
Send a job application and see how that works out for you.
They also made the extended mag default and replaced the extended mag specialization with a recoil reduction specialization. Maybe the Recoil Buffer will offset the recoil increase? I’ve come across the 1907, and the people who use it right can really tear up with it.
Your blogpost is incredibly redundant as Battlefield is not an esports title.
It’s a game for filthy casuals to have fun and not a competetive esports environment.
There’s 2 posts, but I can assume what you’re referring to. The point is how to get it to become one, which will enhance the player base and ultimately sales of the game. DICE has squandered any opportunity for that community to develop due to the elimination of basic features such as the game mode everyone played on and private servers themselves.
There is supposed to be another patch coming this month supposedly. Literally every update DICE has ever made in the past 5 years has only added additional problems to their games. Fix one thing, break two more.
Filthy What? I’ll have you know I’m the sweatiest of the sweaty try hard players.
Agreed, Battlefield is just not an esports game. @OP, Your post don’t discuss weapon balance, how does it provide any credibility here then? It’s also two post from two years ago regarding BF as a competitive title, how does that prove you know so much about game balance? Further more, if you know so much that DICE couldn’t pay you enough, why haven’t you continued posting?
Just this post alone shows me that you have zero credibility.
No one software project is like the other, and it does not matter if you use the same engine or a new one.
Any change, even the most miniscule one, can have serious unforseen consequences.

It most certainly did. There were changes and patches to all those games that caused issues. It was just before the forums and twitter and all the banners flying where people complained about it. Doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
