REQUIRES SUPERBLT AND WEAPONLIB
PUT INTO 'MODS'
I always found the MG42 to be a bit... eh.
I mean it's got a good firerate... and that's about it, really. 33% more DPS than the other ones, in exchange for violent recoil and mediocre accuracy.
That, plus the light barrel is a straight upgrade, with the only downside being that it's kinda ugly.
This mod tweaks the MG42 to be more unique and interesting!
- Magazine Size is decreased to 50 from 150
- Total Ammo is decreased to 300 from 450
- Damage is increased to 120 from 80
- Accuracy is decreased to 40 from 48
- Stability is decreased to 20 from 28
- Ammo Pickup is decreased to 3.5/10 from 13.50/24.75
Weapon mods have been changed as well:
- Light Barrel: +8 stability, +2 concealment, -350 firerate
- Heatsinked Suppressed Barrel: -3 damage, +8 spread
This makes the MG42 a) realistic and b) fill an interesting role.
The damage is now on the same level as the Brenner, but of course, with a smaller magazine and a higher firerate. This means that the DPS is technically even higher - but you have much less bullets in the mag. This makes the Buzzsaw a sort of ambush weapon, where you jump out at a group of enemies, mow them all down, and then retreat to reload. At least I've found it quite fun to play with it that way.
The light barrel is now no longer a straight upgrade either - instead of providing you with 8 more accuracy and stability at no real disadvantage, now it decreases the ROF to 850 - realistic to the MG34 that it is based on. Which, depending on how you look at it, is either a big disadvantage to your DPS, or a big advantage to controllability. Oh look, it's a meaningful choice in a videogame!
And also the suppressed barrel is a bit less pathetic now I guess.
