If you’re unable to view the tweet, here’s what’s getting tweaked:

– Fire rate buff for MP40, Thompson
– FG42 fire rate nerf & recoil adjustment
– Class wide LMG movement speed buff + recoil buffs for MG15 & Lewis.
– Winchester damage range buffs

I don’t know about you, but that MP40 buff sure sounds interesting, as I already considered it a great SMG! And that poor FG42! That weapon just can’t seem to get a break.

What do you think of the upcoming weapon balance tweaks? Let us know.
