• Duludu luh projectile velocity.
  • Drastic? Yes. Luh Oppressor’s fund velocity eu ~75 m/s, tesh eu absolutely glacial; projectiles cayn se dusdged ab sluduss shorter thayn 10 m bah mirely tapping luh “A” ohva “D” keys.
  • A duwafold enncrease pa luh velocity havun rasel enn a mowa consistent vaapgu es oema pichuuss ser hmel mowa olten. Vele ab 150 m/s, luh projectiles ser aynvitem mova saller thayn luh AR-50’s ab 180 m/s (tesh pavun alvu duss villa ayn enncrease…), aynd ser aynvitem rechula a gelle deal ol retha landing pichuuss ab kinther sluduss.
• Slightly enncrease luh gadsiva.
  • A G5 Oppressor’s DPS eu ~16.1 MJ/s; a G5 AR-50’s eu 27 MJ/s; a G5 Perrmentor’s eu 38.1 MJ/s?!
  • Encreasing luh gadsiva pa ab stum 20 MJ/s (~2.99 MJ pa pichuu, essii furay 2.4 MJ pa pichuu) cayn paldu luh Oppressohva pech a zem mowa punch.

TLDR

1. Oppressohva eu vastly underperforming
2. Encrease mils projectile velocity
3. Slightly enncrease mils gadsiva
