AR2 feels like it could be buffed, currently feels too weak

[ghost]

The AR2 currently can sometimes feel quite weaker than the SMG and is quite slow for the damage it can do, maybe buffing the damage on its own could work?

My mistake if it seems like I'm dropping too many threads, just that I don't see much more people participating in giving suggestions or reporting bugs and giving feedback.

Nah its okay that you're posting these. Having a dedicated place for peoples feedback/ideas was the whole reason this was setup in the first place, so its alright.

As for the Ar2 though... I do agree the Smg probably has more versatility due to its sheer dps compared to it, but I feel its balanced out by its recoil, large spread, and lack of sustainability. None of which are problems for the Ar2, which also does overall more damage per-clip in exchange for an overall lower dps.

So basically its good at what the Smg is bad at and vice-versa. I just think it's more-so that hl2's level design is just overall more close-ranged, so there's not as many situations for the Ar2 to shine compared to the Smg. That's just my thoughts though so idk.
