✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested balance tweaks (146 endorsements) that aim to make SMGs more viable.
- Targeted changes to damage, fire rate, and stagger address common SMG weaknesses.
- Freya's Needle gets a significant ammo boost, reducing reload frequency.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects SMGs and Freya's Needle, so other weapon classes remain unchanged.
- Balance changes may not suit players who prefer vanilla weapon performance.
- Potential compatibility issues with other weapon overhaul mods that modify the same stats.
For players who find SMGs underpowered and want a subtle buff without breaking game balance. Also for Freya's Needle fans who want a larger magazine. Skip if you prefer vanilla weapon stats or use other weapon rebalance mods that might conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on PC, make sure to enable mods in the game's launcher or settings before expecting changes to apply.
- Check if you have other weapon mods installed that might override SMG stats; load order matters.
- Test the mod in a low-stakes mission to see if the new SMG feel suits your playstyle.
