This is a dumb take.

If there was a gun that 1 tapped every enemy in the game and had infinite ammo and maybe even auto aimed for you, that would suck a lot of the fun out of the game wouldn't it?

Would you not want that gun to be nerfed or would you want every gun in the game to become a 1 tap super weapon?

Eh...it's sort of a valid argument..however...it's like instagib in unreal. It was one of the funniest game modes in the game.

Instagib on low level enemies would be fun as hell...then the boss spawns show up and obliterate you...that's how I thought this game was going to go.

Now it's really a game of find more ammo and run from anything with armor until your strategems recharge.

Good thing you get to choose which gun you use. I personally would love that weapon. I've got two kids and a full time job. I need a nerf mode. The rest of y'all can use whatever other guns you like. But give me the BFG and let me have my fun.

This game has like ten difficulty options. If you need the BFG on easy mode then you probably are just bad at videogames.

So what. Let me be bad at video games and still enjoy it. Not everything needs to be a side hustle, maxed out, semi-pro, rise and grind. I just want to have a hobby, even if I'm shit at it forever, because it's fun.

You should try it sometime. It's a much less stressful and actually enjoyable way to live.

Yea, that's why difficulty easier than "impossible" and "helldive" exist, so that you can enjoy the game on your time.

But when other players want their guns to be of roughly equal value, so that they don't feel pressured to not take the meta, that's not a bad thing imo

1 tap super weapon, and introduce a viable challenge to make that obsolete.

But you'll just get premium war bond weapons from here on out to close the difficulty gap.
