The NSX Amaterasu just breaks immersion. Planetside does not deserve energy crescents coming out of knives. Come on, leave that stuff for games like Overwatch. We have primaries, secondaries, grenades, C4, we do not need a ranged weapon in the knife slot. And especially not one that shoots glowing crescents. Another mention per this patch: A variety of scout rifles got some tweaks this run. The TRAP desperately needs a revisit as well. It IS NOT a sniper rifle, take it out of that category, put it in with the scout rifles, and give it performance that matches its alternatives. An extra 3 rounds in the magazine is NOT an effective solution...
+1 To be fair, SOE/DBG have always come about their total ignorance, disregard, and mangling balance for Infiltrators honestly: * horrendous starting Primary Weapon for VS and TR * Infiltrator unusable Directives reward for Infiltrator Sniper/Scout Rifles Directive * TRAP being listed as a Sniper Rifle * that Infiltrator overhaul that kept getting pushed back... because nobody at SOE played Infil, they didn't know how to change them, and they didn't want to have to bother learning them (where is that Drone thing?) * watching PS2 Devs try very briefly to play as Infiltrator on stream * rebalance of Nyx * staggering Cert cost of maxing the Recon dart (compared to other Tools) * addition of Motion Spotter (deployable in places that cannot be accessed like Spawn Rooms), Kill Cam, and Darklight * disabling ability to overload Generators not in bases directly on Lattice * allowing Infantry gameplay to progressively become more and more CQC-medium range focused, pushing Infiltrator to be more SMG/CQC... but not giving starting infiltrators access to a CQC Primary. (imagine starting Heavy Assault with Warden)
