I'm not saying that KSG is a solo gun but you need to consider that it was created for the purpose of killing an enemy.. Can you tell me why guns less than 70k is better than the KSG that cost 70k+?
Can u tell my why KSG when equipped with shield make you move slow?
The logic is price of the gun = it's performance. Meaning the more the expensive the gun the better you can use it.
So now can u spar using KSG? The answer is no.
Can you raid a base using a slow KSG? The answer is no again because you can't dodge the bullets, evn you say that KSG meant to take damage it is not strong enough to compensate for the low damage of the KSG.
Now if Meph would just return the orginal KSG the day it was released then I would say that it will be balanced.
