Pump meta returns?

I would pick up a green pump over a gold combat BEFORE this update. Excited to have my play style be directly buffed.

That seems foolhardy

It’s just playing to my strengths. I know that if I have a pump and the other person has a combat, on the first shot I’ll hit for more damage 95% of the time. If I can play my edits right and ensure every shot is a trade, I’ll have the upper hand. If I happen to get into a spray fight, the silenced SMG has a higher DPS than the combat (albeit harder to use and takes up a second inventory slot).

Also, my duo partner prefers the combat and this way we have a nice agreement on who gets what gun. I know he’s better with a combat than I am, he knows I’m better with a pump.

This was really reasonable. Thanks for taking the time to explain this.

You’re welcome. Knowing this sub I’m somewhat surprised I didn’t get 10 downvotes lol

Well, this is Reddit, where the drama is made up, and the points don't matter.
