Designer Notes:
Your feedback was heard, and we made the 93R a more viable alternative to the 9mm. With less recoil and a bit more damage per bullet, it should be a great backup option!
All the sound issues of the MG3 were also addressed, and the alt-fire cone was reduced 10º. Now it’s a bit less necessary to get at point-blank distance to cause big damage.
Last but not least, Armor Piercing Shot damage buff was increased an additional 5% to make the skill more attractive!
