A small adjustment in its min-damage reinforces the weapons identity as a powerhouse of close-to-mid range, but can be used at range when needed.
This indicates that more players have found accurate long-range builds with the weapon. We love seeing the Volkssturmgewehr (VG) start to find its place in the meta but are seeing its long-range efficiency become higher and higher. Damage Range decreased to 26%, down from 40%.Vertical Recoil Penalty increased to -21%, down from -12%.Muzzle Velocity Penalty increased to -20%, down from -10%.
By bringing this down we expect to see the weapon perform well, but not dominate. This is mostly due to the reliability of landing headshots and has one of the highest head-shot accuracies in the game. The KG M40 (VG) has started to rear its head as the front-runner. We’re seeing good early performance data come through from the Vargo-S (VG) but the Muzzle Velocity was holding its long-range viability back.
