They def need to tune some weapon and weapon types because of this reason. Speaking of purples here, yeah there is a billion variations but only like 1000 are worth anything. Some manufacturers are just auto delete for me without even looking at them. Anything with a charge time, like Torque or Ripper parts just feels bad and just does not feel right, at least for me.
Same with snipers. But that just could be me. But it seems like anything in this game is just close up. And if its not, its about to be real quick. Shit B-lining towards you kamikaze style. And this shit does not lend itself to snipes, or at least ADS with long range scopes.. Snipes, at least IMO need to be head shot=kill. And some are, but some are not. They have small magazines and long reload times to boot.
For me at least, I find the non charging variety of SMG, AR, shotty to be the best. Some of the pistols can be good too.
