    So can each faction get a version of the other factions base weapon?

    IE like Vanu and NC can get the MSW or a gun that bascially has the exact same profile to it, and vise versa?
    I know in PS1 you could 'steal' other peopls weapons, would really like to see something like that come back as well. Maybe make it like a series of objectives to unlock them.

    Each faction has a rough equivalent of each other's weapons, plus some faction bonuses. Overall, the differences are minor in most cases.

    For instance:
    • T1 Cycler
    • NC1 Gauss Rifle
    • Pulsar VS1
    • AR-100
    Are all default assault rifles for TR, NC, VS and NSO, respectively. Statwise, they are pretty much identical.

    In cases like shotguns, snipers, rocket launchers, submachineguns and knives, quite a few of them have exactly the same stats, just with a different skin. A few exceptions aside.

    While true the theoretical TTK is roughly the same, actual TTK is not, higher ROF weapons dont get the full effect of their DPS due to ROF being tied to FPS.
    That issue aside it would really be nice to get some more verity in the classes.

    RoF tied to framerate? Where did you get this idea?

    HESH tank
    AI ESF (if you're good at flying)
    MAX with rapid-fire weapons

    (You asked best for everything, that's it)

    But yeah, C4 LA and Ghost/TSAR/forgot-NC-one Infil are good as well

    Also don't forget C4 flash
