Greetings Helldivers!

Today I'm going talk about the direction of balance in game as well as addressing assault rifle specific balancing! We'll take a bird's eye view on the situation and where it might be heading towards. Then we'll take a step back to see how our assault rifles can be made more fun and impactful, as well as looking at some weapon concepts I came up with!

This is going to be a long one, so sit back, relax, and let's get it on!
