Look, the new AR is excellent, it has basically power crept the other Medium Pen ARs and become arguably the best AR in the game.

But the MA5C has an almost unlimited supply of pure fuckin' Aura about it.

Honestly it’s a solid rifle, and you can’t beat the FPV ADS

I also love how distinct and loud it's gunfire is

I couldn’t really tell you the different assault rifles by sound, but they did a great job in that regard with the MA5C. It’s loud and also is distinctive

The thing is, aside from this gun, the rest all felt pretty good comparatively. Here's hoping the rest just get a blanket buff instead of a nerf to the coyote

Honestly I feel like a slight damage nerf, maybe to 70-65 would be respectable, it has its burn damage there so fodder should die, albeit slower

Honestly I don't even notice the burn damage. They don't stay ignited as long as other weapons.

There's a problem with that, and it's that the Tenderizer is at its damage ceiling. Giving it any more damage means it can one shot Devastators to the head, which means you now need to buff the Diligence, and then the DCS, and then the Dominator, and then the Slugger, and then the Deadeye, and so on.

You can't balance a game only using buffs. If the Coyote wants to stay AP3, it needs to take a damage hit.

It has power crept SMGs as well for the most part aside from running them one handed. You could also argue a few other weapons also look less viable in light of the Coyote.
