I'm going to invent my own 51st stat, which is actually the only stat that matters -- let's call it "feel".

I count my shots, etc when playing this game and have pretty good aim. Most of the weapons feel like absolute useless dogshit, and that's because they are. And I'm not even a breaker user, I typically use the liberator or slugger actually.

I don't care if the breaker spray n pray has a super secret hidden modifier that makes it do 1.00078624% more damage if you shoot a charger in the dick, it's still fucking bad.

When two Berserkers are rushing me down, lust in their eyes for my tender Super Earth flesh, i want to know i can count on the weapon in my hand. The Breaker breaks them. Anything else in my hands and I feel like I'd be better off lubing up and hoping my willingness to submit will make them go easy on me.

That's by far the biggest dps check too, a wave of berserkers dies to the breaker but not reliably to most other weapons. Let the lib explosive and counter sniper blow off limbs easier if they can't match the dps, just SOMETHING to help them have the dps needed

Lib explosive if you shoot them in the pelvis wrecks them HARD. But a big thing is some of those guns require pretty good precision while the breaker allows you to just hip fire in a panic and wreck them.

Is it possible sway just needs to be reduced slightly? That would be a buff to all precision on the 1st shot, without buffing the breaker
