Buffs and change to Handcannon archetypes.
Nerfs to Sniper - likely affecting Console snipers disproportionately.
Some partial backpedalling on 600rpm autos.
More nerfs to Pinnacle weapons.
And yet no mention whatsoever of the statistical overuse of Shotgun, it's archetype breaking perks, special ammo economy allowing unrestricted use, the decimation of the Special competition: legendary fusions and now sniper.
Once more the unaddressed elephant in the room
: Shotgun overuse.

Shotguns are fine. They have no range and there are a couple options at your disposal to counter rushers. If you get caught with them camping that’s kinda on you.
