Smgs will stay dominant in crucible as long as peacekeepers give these benefits holding an smg: 50 mobility (stacks with lightweight the fastest ttk for a +70 mobility) 6.25% increased sprint speed, same as dunemarchers/stompees/tsteps 33% increased slide distance, same as above mentioned 40 AE to smgs 100 handling and a 60% DURATION SCALAR ON READY/STOW, for reference quickdraw is 100 handling and a 95%, quick access sling is a 90% Reduced strafe penalty to 9% down from the usual 25%, sidearms are at 15% here (paired with basically max mobility for free, you're strafing at least faster than a 5 mobility person WALKS) Then autoloading holster, but 2.5x as effective, and namloading exists Keep in mind these are permanent benefits, they don't expire or need a refresh, they're always here, I get an exotic centralized around boosting a weapon class, and even if it's a bad weapon class these boosts are far too extreme to be ok, lucky pants is a great example of what is fine, it gives the same ready/stow speed as PKs, an accuracy boost, half the AE benefit, and a free HC holster mod, but those benefits are only active for 4s after readying the weapon Peacekeepers acts as a movement exotic, does lucky pants better for the most part, and has extra, while the only requirement for these benefits is holding your primary weapon. This is not fine.
