So I just got back into the game earlier this week, and I'm having a great time. But I couldn't help but notice that the DMR-AV I used to use all the time and loved didn't seem to be doing as well as it used to when it comes to taking out vehicles. That's when I noticed that Steel Plating got a pretty large buff since I last played the game and just about everyone seems to run it.
So obviously this is a problem for the DMR-AV. The primary purpose of this gun is that it's effective at taking out vehicles, hence the AV (anti vehicle) designation. But with everyone running Espacios or Pioneers with Steel Plating 3, the DMR-AV just doesn't have the same punch that it used to. Perhaps give the DMR-AV a unique attribute that allows it to pierce through steel plating and do the same amount of damage as it would otherwise? Or just give it a straight buff to hard damage, though that could potentially make it OP against cars that don't have steel plating.
Either way, a 6% decrease to max speed for a 30% damage resistance buff is a pretty obvious no brainer.
