The problem isn’t ammo, really it’s just the fact that the optimal TTK for Traces, a special ammo weapon type, is only marginally better than primaries.

Tbh I think that at the very least coldheart should be using primary ammo, maybe prometheus lens and divinity as well. I can see why they’d want to keep ruinous effigy special, due to the void balls, but the others barely compete with normal auto rifles anyways.

They only barely compete because they’re severely undertuned and have barely been touched in years.

Yep IK. Personally I would rather just see them become primaries instead of buffing them, but that’s just my preference. I could see it going either way, but that being said I feel like buffing theme isn’t very valid for one simple reason. Every single other kind of special weapon can one shot, so unless you give them like a 0.2 ttk or something absurd they won’t be competitive.

I’d rather see them be good specials instead of shitty primaries. They’ll likely never truly have a place in PvP but I’m honestly more worried about them actually being good in PvE.

I agree that the damage could be somewhat improved since I don't necessarily see any "bullet" magnetism and because it's a special weapon, so I think that they should be more than just "glorified primaries." However, I feel as though the ammo economy with trace rifles is even more of a glaring issue than the damage because of how little you get per brick compared to the rate at which trace rifles chew through ammo. I also feel it necessary to add that trace rifles have no mods specific to them, and they aren't affected at all by auto rifle mods, so there's no possible way to find more ammo, flinch less, etc. with trace rifles, which really bothers me.
