There is not a lot of weapons right now in zone, but feel free to share thoughts and ideas about the current guns in zone and weapon suggestions for future guns to be made.
That big Enraged Rifle seems like the m4 in the early phase of iEra. The thing is though that the rifle is quick to being overused. Much like m4.
Nearly all weapons behave the same way. Grenade launcher is the only weapon that is unique right now. All guns are given traits as a "mega spammy" gun. There are slight differences between each other. The balancing isn't broken but guns that are more expensive feel like a mere upgrade. The guns could have different movement speed for some balancing. For example, since the "starter pistol" in zone has a slow bullet velocity and some spread, the user may need some extra movement speed to get closer to the enemies. A gun like the Enraged rifle has powerful damage and high bullet velocity. A big gun like that can slow down the user. A player carrying a pistol vs someone carrying a big gun = same speed.
It would be nice though to have other guns that feels different from the others. Perhaps a semi auto sniper rifle or a shotgun. Be creative. This is the futuristic setting where guns can be nearly anything with it's crazy technology.
One problem that is bugging me is the pathetic performance of the knife. It's much worse than era's starter knife. While in era it's not common to find yourself completely out of ammo. In zone, it's common. Especially if you're aiming isn't quite polished yet. The knife does low damage, really low melee rate and lots of freeze. The user is too helpless with no ammo. The knife hardly has a use. Only for killing laggers and freeing NPCs. The damage can be increased since the freeze rate is really long. (especially in zone where guns have no freeze rate)
