The Suros Regime buff

In focused fire mode it will have +30 range and +3 zoom. Base range before buff: ~25 meters Base range after buff (no zoom): ~30 meters (my gnawing hunger has about 80 range and hits for full damage at about 29.5+ meters). Base range with zoom: ~34 meters if I were to guess, maybe 36. A substantial buff to suros in focused fire mode. Previously it was...worthless to use not because of it's ttk, but because it's range was extremely below average for a 360. With roughly 34+ meters it should be a much more viable mode to use. While we are on the topic of suros regime, there's a couple of additional tuning options I would like bungie to consider. Spinning up: increase base magazine from 36 to 40 rounds. Increase the number of bullets it takes to start spinning up by the amount added to the magazine. Increase base damage up to normal 600 rpm auto rifle damage. Decrease damage bonus in pvp from Suros Legacy to get up to the same amount it can currently reach (I think it goes up to like 26-27). Reasoning: I want to redistribute power back into the weapons base form before spinning up itself kicks in. With a lower base damage at 600 rpm, it's a less viable weapon to use for 1v1 duels unless you are already spraying to activate the bonus damage and fire rate. By increasing the magazine and increasing the amount of rounds it takes to spin up, suros will be better as a base weapon, while being less frustrating to fight in the short term due to how quickly it can currently spin up. Although it sounds like a nerf, being able to use the weapon viably BEFORE spinning up kicks in will make it so that in engagements where you don't have time to spin up the weapon, you can still have a normal lethality 600 rpm weapon, and in engagements where you CAN spin it up, it gives the opponents more time to react to the effects of the weapon before they get obliterated. Additional tuning for focused fire mode: Decrease flinch received in focused fire mode. Increase stability the longer you shoot. Reasoning: in 360 form, suros actually feels kind of shakey even with the catalyst (it's no where close to as bad as other 360s), so when you pair this with flinch it becomes an incredible annoyance to use in that form. And since they are increasing it's zoom...its bound to make the issues I have with it worse. Conclusion: I expect suros to be a better weapon with the focused fire buff, but it's overall form needs to be tuned to be more reliable. It is almost exclusively a pvp weapon and so it deserves to be an outlier among auto rifles for that particular mode, but it can't do that if it only feels average to use on...average, and cheese at best.
