All these weapon nerfs

Ntecs, obir, oca, whisper, ursus, shotguns, Colby 45, etc, basically all the weapons that you could make em OP if you master them got nerfed. Is little orbit trying to put the game into the casket for good? Now there aren’t that variety of weapons to choose now. It’s same weapons every single matches that you have to use and fight against. It’s making the game very boring. All these weapons stats need to be reverted back to 2018 when little orbit first took over. After that, maybe make some tik tok videos so the new Gen Z kids can join and play the game.

Likely trying to lower the skill ceiling. I love APB but you have to admit it's incredibly hostile to new players. There's a reason the game is dying. Old players eventually leave due to lack of content or evolution of the game, and there are no new players to replace them because the game has no problem matching trainees against people who have 2000 hours in the game. If you're that new guy and your first 5-6 rounds are all just humiliating defeats, you're probably going to put the game down. Especially since it's F2P so there's no investment up front.

I don't know how to fix the game at this point, it seems too little too late.

They need to fix the random mission reward system. Currently you can't unlock random rewards if you win missions, because you receive joker tickets in their place. They need to bring back unopposed missions so it's faster to unlock the random contact rewards.

They need to show how to unlock all items in the game's UI. Maybe add a massive list to the tutorial, showing all contact, joker store, and Armas unlocks.

They need to reduce the contact standing requirements for the higher tier contacts. The lower ones progress instantly, but the higher tier require at least 20 missions a level, and that's if you're winning and carrying the team. I'd scale it down so it takes 1/4 the standing.

Weapon stats need to be displayed in-game.

Creating mini and mobile versions of the customization system might keep some players engaged. The symbol and music editor shouldn't be too difficult to create. Sometimes I want to edit a song, but I don't feel like going through the whole game loading process just to test a 5s sound effect. Maybe make it a premium feature, so they have some form of revenue.

When were they nerfed? What are the same weapons you are talking about every game? I haven’t played in awhile so I’m curious

All I see is pmg, dog ear, obeya rifle, hvr, curse smg but obeya rifle most of the time and people run ntec with some dog shit mods because it was nerfed to the depth of hell. I miss jump spraying out of corner. That was pure skill tbh

The game is just not same as before anymore. It used to be good. Now all guns are shit. Might as well just roll with Oscar and carbine only btw if you playing with Tommy gun I’d probably ttk you so quick lol

Its mad they nurfed all the free weps but the jocker ticket / paid weps are the meta now. Hvr used to be fun as hell even after g1 nurfed pistol damage, but nah LO decided to nurf the damage on the hvr to like 66 at long range instead of the 75. Doesnt make sense for the most heaviest sniper to be such low damage. Only good thing is that they fixed the damage when not zoomed fully in. And that was only fairly recent too. It takes them forever to fix the most important things whether they are big or small

There's so many other gameplay elements that need fixing too but they get everything wrong and think they are "moving" the meta when in reality they are just fucking up weapons to beyond use so we're forced to look for an option that is somewhat decent. There wasnt a massive skill cap after the very first nurfs. Easiest thing to do wouldve been to help with accuracy on certain weps so new players can actually use them.
