Weapon Tweaks and Balance

While Cyberpunk does an overall decent job of balancing its weapon types, the lack of distinctiveness between weapons in the same category and the changes made to recoil in 2. 0 have left the arsenal feeling rather uninspired or straight up underpowered in parts.

This mod aims to fix that by tweaking per shot damage, fire rate and magazine sizes for a number of weapons to create more variety between the weapon categories and improve some underperforming outliers, while keeping overall DPS reasonably close to the vanilla balance.

See Articles tab for full list of changes

Overview of changes:

General

Removed random bullet spread while in ADS to fix accuracy issues with non-sniper rifles. Hip-firing will still apply spread as it should (Does not affect shotguns, smart weapons or general recoil).

Pistols

Various tweaks to fire rate and mag sizes, with an emphasis of making them feel less clunky and smoother to use. Significantly increased firerates for the automatic and semi-automatic variants (i.e. Unity / Liberty / Lexington / Omaha / Slaught-O-Matic / Grit) in exchange for lower damage per shot. Increased Burst sizes on Kenshin and Omaha

Revolvers

General damage bump to bring them more in line with each other and differentiate them more from pistols, minor tweaks to some Iconics.

SMGs

Tweaks to magazine sizes, rate of fire and damage to create more variety between variants, with further balance changes to some Iconics (e.g. doubled rate of fire for Erebus while halving per shot damage). Slightly Increased general DPS and Headshot damage to account for the buff to ARs.

Assault Rifles

Overall DPS increase to bring them closer to SMGs and account for the recoil changes in 2. 0. Focus on lower rate of fire but higher single shot damage than SMGs. Tweaks to Copperhead, Umbra and Masamune damage, Ajax/Kyubi mag capacity, recoil and rate of fire.

Shotguns

Effective range increased by 50%. Slight buff to Carnage and Tactician damage, lowered Crusher/Pozhar mag size and increased per shot damage. General tweaks to projectile count (i.e damage spread and crit potential) between shotguns.

LMGs

Rebalanced to bring them in line with AR changes. Increased rate of fire on all variants, increased Defender / MA70 per shot damage.

Precision Rifles

Normalized DPS of underperforming models with increased damage and rates of fire to gove them their own niche (e.g. vanilla SOR-22 DPS was only about half of most other PRs).

Sniper Rifles

Slight tweaks across most variants. Increase to Grad magazine capacity (4 to 5), reduced Nekomata rate of fire, adjustments to Borzaya, Osprey and Overwatch damage.

Smart Weapons

Buffs to DPS in line wi
