I feel as if some people believe that auto rifles are going to get a damage buff in pvp. This is not correct.
Auto rifles will only receive a damage buff against a.i (non-guardians).
Auto rifles get a stability buff.
Hardlight will have no damage drop-off.
Unless the stability buff can save hardlight, it will probably remain unused by most people.
I am looking forward to using the necrochasm in pve after the update.
I already love that gun.
Its gonna be great.
Edit: it has been pointed out to me that a damage increase was stated.
I apologise for my oversight.
I have posted the quote directly from the weekly update below.
[quote] Changes:
Increase base damage
Start damage falloff closer to the player to emphasize its role as a close to medium range weapon
Small reduction in base stability. Landing shots at optimal range is unaffected, but repeated precision hits require more weapon control to land consistently
Boost damage by 10% against AI combatants

Heard there was a 10% damage increase for pve and pvp

"increase base damage" Now that is interesting... I apologise for my oversight.

"Elevate Auto Rifles so they are a more competitive option in PVP, and simultaneously more satisfying to use in PVE"

Love your work

I can assure you that the "weapon balancing 2.0" post in the weekly update stated 10% damage buff to a.i (artificial intelligence) I would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that the original auto rifle nerf was 2.5% across all enemies. A 10% buff would completely over shoot the original damage output of auto rifles. I appreciate your comment. I will add a direct quote for your convenience

Hardlight is currently the best auto rifle
