Given the miserable state of MCNR and It's combat I believe 2026 should be the year of changes, we should try to shift the meta to see how It goes.
I think we should focus on buffing base damage of assault rifles (Not headshot damage), people will be more inclined to use weapons If they actually differ in performance, for example AK should be more of short-medium range rifle with high damage whilst also having higher damage dropoff, on the other hand M4 should be fit for longer range combat
AK should be 14>12>8 whilst M4 should be 12>10 (Only one dropoff)
Another change should be the Pump shotgun, It's weak and new players struggle with It. Increase It's damage to 43 this way It'll be pretty efficent as a weapon with very limited mobility.
Deagle? Make it so damage drops off from 41 to 37 (Far distance dropoff)
Country rifle - 47 > 40 > 35 (It's way less mobile and reliable than Sniper rifle so making it have higher damage would be fair tradeoff)
Now you have shifted the foot combat meta with few of these changes now let's focus on driveby
Restrict it to SMG's and pistols, this way the combat won't be as retarded and unbalanced for new players and they won't leave the game after 15 minutes.
