90% of Vanu weaponry kills in 8 shots or more from 0 yards

NC 5 (gauss saw)-7 from (carnage br) which is one of the weakest of NC weapons.

average of 6 shots within a range that Bullet Drop does Not yet have to be accounted for....

TR is 6-8 or more but with very high firerate.

So in most close range situations VS would lose, lower fire rate, lower damage.

7 shots from any gun at 0 yards should do about the same thing. kill you dead

especially if your insides are being melted by superheated plasma or lead

I find Pulcar C, Flare, and Corvus is the only way to match team differences of shots to kill.

The serpent matches the solstice in (shots to kill) but not in fire rate. so some of the weapons on each side are worse for no reason at all

I bought most of the weapons to find only a few work really well (not counting new smg and shotty)

In a nutshell. with the right weapon the game is even across the board

it should be that way with all the weapons imported to the game

Love you sony and i love your game
