    • ChangeShotguns have been removed from Akaihime’s weapon pool.

▌ Weapon Balance Adjustments

The core goal of this weapon tuning pass is to comprehensively improve LMGs’ firing responsiveness, mobility‑to‑combat fluidity, and stability during sustained mid‑to‑close‑range suppression, ensuring each LMG model fulfills its tactical role with precision.

  • PKP / RPL LMGs: Quicker Response, Smoother Suppression

    • PKP: Overall wind‑up is smoother, time‑to‑fire is faster, and sustained fire is more stable—better embodying the intimidation of heavy firepower in frontal suppression.

    • RPLWhile retaining its agile suppression role, mid‑range hit feedback and tracking feel have been improved, making it easier to deliver consistent value in extended engagements.

  • QBB95: Easy to Pick Up, Strong at Suppressing

    • Firing response is crisper, and initial delay has been reduced.

    • Stability during sustained fire has been increased, improving mid‑range suppression and continuous output performance.

  • M2 Heavy Machine Gun: Fortifying Its Area‑Denial Dominance

    • Firepower is more stable when mounted or stationary.

    • Wind‑up is smoother, and suppression feedback is more direct.

    • The weapon retains the weighty, rhythmic feel expected of a heavy machine gun, emphasizing its power in positional play.

LMG Tuning Philosophy Summary

This round of LMG adjustments is not simply about raising burst damage, but focuses on refining the following experience pillars:

  • Entering effective output state faster

  • Transitioning from movement to combat more smoothly

  • Delivering sustained suppression more reliably

  • Differentiating combat roles between LMG types more clearly

We hope these changes make LMGs feel more solid and distinctive across various combat scenarios. We’ll continue monitoring LMG performance and player feedback for further targeted optimizations.
