Weapon Balance Changes [PROPOSE/DISCUSS/REFINE]

Hello community! I want to get a discussion rolling about some weapon changes. And thus I made a balance file with changes I think are good or at least in the right direction.
The focus is to make each weapon fun to use on their own because I think some weaons are under represented which means theres potential for improvement!
Each weapon should stand for their own like how each weapon is designed to kill you differently but not relying on having other weapons. Switching should do more damage though as intended by design.

Please share your thoughts on that topic as well as those changes and I hope together we can improve it even further!

Shotgun:
Faster, slightly weaker secondary, but more dps
1.2s > 0.5s speed
70 > 60 dmg
Reasoning is that you getting so close should be rewarded with reliable high damage.


Machinegun:
Primary is the same except for the spread. I made it lose effectivity on mid-high range and force you to use controlled bursts.
Secondary consumes almost twice the ammo, has no spread and double the reload speed. being effective against snipers. (matches the vortex changes)
Reload is gone.
To make it as effective in mid range with the possibility to counter snipers while you dont have to reload anymore.


Electro:
Secondary can spawn 6 balls max. Has lower damage and faster 3x bursts. 6 well placed balls however will still kill you instant. Balls lifetime is also doubled.(4s>8s)
To make it less spammy but still good for laying traps.

Vortex:
Nerfed but faster. It won't be your go-to camping tool anymore. Still good to finish running enemies.
80 > 45 dmg
400 > 240 force
1.5s > 1s refire


Hagar:
Secondary loads faster, can hold forever,  is a bit weaker and the rockets fly as fast as primary. (for consitent feel)
I think the hagar is usd too rarely which is an indicator for it being not useful enough.
This way you have a great way to get into combat or ambush enemies. One hit with the secondary and 1 to 2 rockets would kill an enemy. Also you fire secondary when you get killed because it's logical to me to have a dead-man switch.

Arc:
80% dmg and the beam pulls you can make someone come in range for it's secondary.

Porto:
300% travel speed @ 1 sec refire. It's just useless the way it is while it's limited to 30s.

HLAC:
280 force. To make it match more with the blaster but account for its spammy-ness.

Shotgun for a starting weapon is stupidly strong with 120 DPS when flanking someone, in multiple person combat it's very easy to find someone who is unaware of you with xon's fast movement.

MG needs high starting spread as it doesn't have actual spray buildup unless you're unable to release mouse1 for a single tick. 100 DPS is also high.

Electro is useless, primary was before worthless 40 dmg peashooter, half of devastator's dmg or 2/3rds of mortar/crylink, alt fire nerfs don't buff primary and thus electro is useless. The damage from 6 ball traps on teleporters barely competes with devastator or MG.

Vortex is a "you can't come near me, stay back" OP stick with that refire and knockback.

Hagar's alt fire is useless as it's worse than other weapons and requires loading before using.

arc porto hlac aren't in the regular weapon pool and almost no one uses them let alone has studied them to be good with their strong points and avoid weaknesses.

Okey thanks very much for your feedback. I think I rushed a bit too fast for rebalancing itself I think but I want to address your points first.

I think you should decouple the ideas of starting weapon and weak. A starting weapon should just be as viable of a choice for it's purpose. There's no need to create an artificial incentive to search for other weapons because they cover different circumstances differently. So the incentive is there because you want a weapon for longer range for example. As it is right now a shot and a slap will also do more than 120 dmg in shorter time even. Also I think you will adapt really quickly to not letting anyone too close.

I agree MG could be too strong but I'd rather decrease the damage.

I think thats about availability and the purpose. Electro you'd wanna use to block an area more defensively like a hallway. Whereas the RL is for longer range and targeted.

The vortex I think is getting closer to a good spot. I see your concern about it keeping you away but I'd make sure that there are viable counter measures like MG secondary.

Hagars alt fire is more reliable in dealing damage straight forward. I think it's a weapon to go into combat and land a strong first hit so you can finish with another weapon.

The arc i'd like to see there at some point i heard it was considered as a mg-replacer and I at least dont dislike this idea.

Ok but I figured I should take a step back and look at how it's designed, look where unnecessary redundancies occur and define a proper theme to balance everything along.
Like crunch some numbers on how to balance use vs dmg-output vs ammo-type vs versatility.

As I stated I want every weapon to have it's purpose.
I think it should start with the ammo type because redundancies in weapons of different ammo-types are good vs having the same ammo-type and being redundant.
Like what each ammo-type has as advantage/disadvantage.
What are the purposes of every weapon? Is there a clear definition? (to me it seems like a concept is missing)


Maybe just to clarify.

---

Ammo Concept:
Cells: Expensive. Fast weapons. Medium damage.
Rockets: Cheap. Slower weapons. High damage.
Shells: as only the shotgun uses it I would combine it with bullets to have moderatly expensive, medium damage weapons.

Meaning in numbers:
Cost:
Expensive: 3 ammo/10dps.
Moderate: 2 ammo/10dps.
Cheap: 1 ammo/10dps.

Speed(projectile):
Fast: 2700 (3 times max player speed cap)
Medium: 1800 (2 times...)
Slow: 900 (can be outrun easily)

EDIT:
The ammo type should also define the impact-radius and damage-falloff. This aims to provide a consistent feel among an ammo type as well as introducing the use cases. Like Rockets are more useful against multiple targets and cells vice versa. The radius is proportional to the projectile damage.

Cells:
Lower impact-radius (dmg*2), lower falloff (edgedamage = 0.6*dmg)

Rockets;
Greater impact radius (dmg*4), greater falloff (edgedamage = 0.4*dmg)



But also the balance of each variable per ammo type like how you can for example change the speed vs the cost OR speed vs the damage etc. (there would be some rest variance per weapon to compensate for the feel of it like a per weapon-bias-value)

I would kinda define it like that:
Target_damage is defined by a fixed value of dps. I think 60-80 would be a good value because one weapon should not directly be able to finish an opponent.
Also I think this formular might be incomplete so it would be really nice to have some math experts to help me on this.


Cells:
(target_damage*weapon_bias)*x = ((speed*speed_cells)*(dps*damage_cells))*effective_range)/(cost_cells*ammo_use)

Rockets:
(target_damage*weapon_bias)*x = ((speed*speed_rockets)*(dps*damage_rockets))*effective_range)/(cost_rockets*ammo_use)

Bullets/shells analog to that.

X is just some multiplicator to normalize the values because the right side might tend to output a higher number.
Then I would apply the same formula to balance every weapon according to it's ammo type.

---

So now that's clear lets move on to the weapons but first lets talk about defining range. I would define it exponentially like((16*x)^2):
Short range: 225 (x=1) (width of a hallway (taking warfare as reference))
Medium range: 1024 (x=2) (length of a hallway)
Long range: 2304 (x=3) (across the map)

Here is a basic balance concept i would perceive as reasonable:
([P]rimary; [S]econdary)

Blaster: Is a special case. And for the sake of simplicity I assume it's in the right place. The lack of damage is compensated by its utility.

Shotgun:
[P]Range: x = 1.2  (i just make thse values up on the go, suggest better but they will work to get my point across)
[S]Range: x = 0.8
[P/S]High damage, short range.
[P/S]Utility: Dominate close range combat.
weapon_bias = 1

Machinegun:
[P]Range: x = 2
[P]Medium damage, medium range.
[P]Utility: Reliable damage on medium range. Good as balance for skill weapon. (like a noob weapon to compete on higher level but capped noticably)
[S]Range: x = 3
[S]Medium damage, long range, more costly and slower
[S]Utility: deal with snipers on long range
weapon_bias = 0.9 (weaker for easiness)

Mortar:
[P/S]Range: x = 1.8
[P/S]good damage on medium range, a bit harder to hit so the weapon bias value would be higher.
[P]Utility: a bit harder to hit so the weapon is stronger in general.
[S]Utility: same but weaker and bounces to get around corners.
weapon_bias = 1.2

Electro:
[P]Range: 2.5
[P]lower damage on greater range
[P]Utility: do some damage but set off secondary traps
[S]Range: 1.7
[S]Utility: lay traps, deny area with high damage for its low ability to hit directly
weapon_bias = 1.3

Crylink:
[P]Range: 2
[P]medium damage, medium range, but pulls enemies
[P]Utility: Pull enemies to do reliable damage once they lose momentum
[S]Range: 1.4
[S]shorter range, great pull, medium damage
[S]Utility: pull yourself to gain speed,
weapon_bias = 1

Vortex:
[P]Range: 3
[P]medium damage, long range
[P]Utility: cover long range
[S]Utility: zoom
weapon_bias = 1

Hagar:
[P]Range:1.8
[P]medium range, medium damage
[P]Utility: rockets+machinegun
[S]Range: 1.8
[S]hight damage, must be charged, ambush, surprise, fight-opener
weapon_bias = 1.2

Devastator/Rocketlauncher:
[P]Range:1.5
[P]medium range, medium damage, guided versatile missiles
[P]Utility: good damage, easy-to-hit-with projectile
[S]Utility: detonate mid air
weapon_bias = 0.7
